What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free meatballs: described as naturally gluten-free, with a separate batch made using 100% certified GF ingredients and frozen separately for high-sensitivity diners.
- Gluten-free desserts: cheesecake is specifically mentioned as a GF option.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- There is a known awareness of cross-contamination and dedicated GF practices (e.g., separate fryer and dedicated GF ingredients). However, one review notes that only some sides contain gluten, indicating that cross-contact risk can vary by menu item. As with many GF-focused venues, explicit confirmation for every item is prudent.
- The overall safety signal remains strong due to dedicated GF operations and proactive staff communication, but diners should still verify specific dishes if they have very high sensitivity.
