Ciao Mamma!

Ciao Mamma! is accredited by Coeliac Australia, making it the first Italian restaurant in Australia to achieve this certification. The venue uses a dedicated pasta boiler, a dedicated gluten-free fryer, separate plates to identify coeliac pasta, and staff proactively ask about dietary restrictions on arrival. The menu is almost entirely gluten-free, with only a small number of non-GF items (e.g. artisan bread and select pasta types).
