Albero di Fico (Il Ristorante by Jerry Kim)

The menu marks several dishes GF (Lingua, Trota Affumicata, Capesante, Vitello Tonnato, Insalata Caprese, Polpo alla Griglia, Agnello, Bistecca di Manzo, Filetto di Pesce, Risotto, Gelato, Sorbetto, Affogato al Caffé), and one reviewer notes staff are 'well versed on the menu and food allergy issues.' However, the kitchen is not dedicated: fresh pasta and gnocchi are made daily on-site ('our pasta and gnocchi are daily made by hand in our bottega'), creating meaningful gluten cross-contamination risk. No Coeliac Australia accreditation is claimed and the venue does not appear in the accredited-businesses list. No dedicated fryer or prep area is evidenced.

Vegetarian

confidence 0.60 ·

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

The menu marks certain dishes (V) for vegetarian, including Arancini, Insalata Caprese, Gnocchi Zola & Noci, and Pasta al Tartufo. One reviewer notes 'decent vegetarian options.' Shared kitchen with meat and seafood; no structural separation evidenced.

Shellfish-free

confidence 0.55 ·

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Shellfish is a core ingredient throughout the menu (scallops, king prawns, spanner crab, mixed seafood pasta). Several non-shellfish dishes are marked GF and some are vegetarian-coded, but the menu does not identify shellfish-free dishes, and shared kitchen/prep with shellfish is implied. Guests with shellfish anaphylaxis should exercise significant caution.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Multiple fish and seafood dishes are available, alongside vegetarian options marked (V). Meat dishes (lamb, beef, veal, salumi) are also on the menu. Pescatarians can find suitable dishes but the menu is not dedicated; staff awareness is noted as good.

Vegan

confidence 0.50 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

The menu footer notes '|VE| Vegan (ask our staff)' but no dishes are explicitly marked VE on the menu text. The Sorbetto is described as 'dairy & egg free' and carries (GF)(VE) codes. Vegan options exist but guests must ask staff to identify them; no marked vegan section or dedicated prep.

Dairy-free

confidence 0.50 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

One reviewer (Jun Park) notes 'My sister also couldn't eat dairy food so they made extra fruit dessert,' suggesting staff will accommodate dairy-free requests. The Sorbetto is listed as 'dairy & egg free.' However, dairy (Parmigiano, butter, mozzarella, mascarpone, scamorza, Gorgonzola) is pervasive across the menu and no dairy-free marking system exists for most dishes. Accommodation appears possible on request but is not systematically marked.
