Il Buco Cafe & Pizzeria

Il Buco offers gluten-free wood-fired pizzas and bruschetta, and several coeliac diners report knowledgeable staff and a dedicated pizza oven. However, the kitchen is shared with regular gluten dishes, and one reviewer noted difficulty confirming a separate oven or clean surface. The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is possible. Best to speak directly with staff about your needs.

Dairy-free

confidence 50% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The FindMeGlutenFree listing tags Il Buco as 'Good for dairy-free', but no specific dairy-free menu items, dedicated equipment, or staff training for dairy allergies are mentioned. A pizzeria serving cheese-heavy dishes likely has limited dairy-free options. Call ahead to confirm what can be accommodated.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
