Owner and most staff have coeliac disease themselves, so they run a carefully managed kitchen with dedicated gluten-free space and a dedicated toaster. The menu marks GF and GFO dishes clearly.

Hold Bar & Eatery marks gluten-free items on its menu and uses separate cooking equipment for GF orders. Staff are knowledgeable and will clean surfaces or change gloves to reduce cross-contamination.

Tutti Trattoria

GF pasta and pizza bases add $3 to the bill. One coeliac diner reports never having gotten sick at this restaurant. The shared kitchen makes cross-contamination possible, particularly with pizza.

Honest caveat, Not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen; cross-contamination risk noted by platform and a reviewer.

The menu marks many dishes GF or GFO, but this is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. A shared kitchen with regular pita and bread is used. One review reports a dedicated GF fryer and says all meat is GF.
