Pescatarian

A
confidence 60%
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

The seafood menu is extensive: Gamberoni Al Forno, Calamari Alla Griglia, Fritto Misto, Insalata Di Polpo, Spaghetti Pescatora, Spaghetti Alla Marinara, Pescatore Pizza, and Primave Pizza. Vegetarian sides and salads are also available. Staff are described as accommodating, and the kitchen can prepare seafood dishes without meat. An excellent choice for pescatarians.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

B
confidence 65%

Gluten-free pizza base is available for a $5 surcharge, and gluten-free pasta for a $4 surcharge. Gluten-free items are marked on the menu. Some diners describe staff as 'extremely knowledgeable'. The kitchen makes its own gluten-free pasta from scratch. However, the kitchen is shared; there is no dedicated gluten-free kitchen. Gluten-free pizzas are cooked in the same oven as regular pizzas without a separate paddle. There is no dedicated fryer. Multiple coeliac diners report positive experiences, but one documented a cross-contamination concern. The restaurant is a safe choice for gluten-sensitive diners who confirm procedures with staff. Coeliac diners should weigh the shared-oven risk carefully.

Dairy-free

C
confidence 40%
Best effort ·what tier C means

Dairy dominates the menu, which is heavily focused on ingredients such as buffalo mozzarella, fior di latte, burrata, parmesan, gorgonzola, taleggio, and cream-based sauces. A few explicit dairy-free options exist, including the Vegana pizza with no cheese, the Marinara pizza with its tomato-garlic-oregano base and no cheese, and the Pescatore pizza that skips cheese in favour of seafood. Garlic Pizza carries a VG label, suggesting it may also be dairy-free. Since the kitchen is shared and uses dairy extensively, there is a significant risk of cross-contamination that could affect even the dairy-free options. The menu is best suited to dairy-intolerant diners who can manage trace exposure, while those with anaphylaxis should call ahead.

Shellfish-free

C
confidence 40%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The menu includes numerous shellfish dishes: Gamberoni Al Forno (king prawns), Fritto Misto (prawns, calamari), Spaghetti Pescatora (prawns, spanner crab), Spaghetti Alla Marinara (prawns, calamari, clams, mussels), Calamari Alla Griglia, Insalata Di Polpo (octopus), Primave Pizza (prawns), and Pescatore Pizza (prawns, calamari). No shellfish-free menu appears on the listing, and no dedicated kitchen is mentioned. Because the shared kitchen handles extensive shellfish preparation across these dishes, the risk of cross-contamination is high.

Nut-free

C
confidence 35%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The menu contains nut-filled items. These include Nutella Bomba with hazelnut, Pistachio Semifreddo, Gnocchi Quattro with walnuts, Cannoli with hazelnut sauce, Mamma's Insalata with crushed walnuts, and Calamari Alla Griglia with roasted walnut salad. No nut-free menu exists. There is also no mention of dedicated equipment or staff training specifically for nut allergies, and a shared kitchen likely means cross-contamination is a real risk. Allergic diners should call ahead to discuss risks.

Egg-free

C
confidence 30%
Best effort ·what tier C means

Egg is in several menu items. Spaghetti Alla Carbonara explicitly uses egg yolk, tiramisu relies on Savoiardi biscotti that typically contain egg, and even some pasta doughs may include it. No egg-free menu exists. No dedicated equipment or staff training is mentioned either. Diners with egg allergies should call ahead to check.
