Ladro

Ladro offers gluten-free pizza bases, gluten-free gnocchi, and several starters and pastas that can be made gluten-free. The menu marks many dishes with 'Gluten-Free Available' tags, and the FAQ confirms they use rice flour (gluten-free) to dust the pizza benches. However, the kitchen is shared and there is no dedicated gluten-free fryer or preparation area mentioned. Cross-contamination is possible, so coeliac diners should discuss their needs with staff.

Vegan

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu marks several pizzas and sides as 'Vegan Available', including the Margherita (with vegan cheese), Funghi, Ortolana, broccolini, and fries. The FAQ states many dishes can be altered to be vegan and pizzas can be topped with vegan cheese. A review also confirms vegan pizza was available and delicious. The shared kitchen means cross-contamination with dairy and eggs is possible, but the venue is clearly accommodating.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Many dishes on the menu are marked 'Vegetarian', including bruschetta caprese, olive ripiene, gnocchi dishes, several pizzas, salads, and desserts. The menu clearly tags vegetarian options, and the kitchen appears willing to accommodate. Shared prep area with meat dishes is standard, but the broad selection and clear marking make it reliable.

Dairy-free

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu repeatedly marks dishes as 'Dairy-Free Available' across starters, pastas, mains, pizzas, sides, and drinks. Many items are explicitly dairy-free, and the kitchen offers vegan cheese for pizzas. The shared kitchen means cross-contamination is possible, but the venue clearly caters to dairy-free diners.

Nut-free

confidence 30% ·

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

The menu's allergen filter panel includes a 'Nuts' section with 'Peanut-Free' and 'Tree Nut-Free' options, but no dishes are explicitly tagged as nut-free on the menu page. Some dishes contain pistachio (Mortadella & Burrata) and the desserts include cannoli and zeppole with Nutella, so nut allergens are present. The kitchen's ability to accommodate nut-free diners is not documented.

Egg-free

confidence 30% ·

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

A few menu items contain egg, such as the Fettuccine Carbonara (egg yolk) and some cocktails with egg white (Negroni Sour, Cranberry Sour). The menu's allergen filter includes an 'Egg-Free' toggle, but no dishes are explicitly tagged as egg-free. For a diner avoiding eggs, options likely exist but are not marked, and the kitchen practice is unclear.

Shellfish-free

confidence 30% ·

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

The menu includes several shellfish dishes: Piatto di Cozze (mussels), Linguini Marinara (prawns, mussels, clams, squid), and Il Capo pizza (prawns). The allergen filter panel has 'Shellfish-Free', 'Crustacean-Free', and 'Mollusc-Free' options, but no dishes are explicitly tagged as shellfish-free. A diner avoiding shellfish would need to discuss options with staff.

Pescatarian

confidence 30% ·

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

The menu includes fish and seafood dishes such as Pesce del Giorno (fish of the day) and Linguini Marinara, but no dishes are explicitly tagged as suitable for a pescatarian diet. Given the Italian menu with many vegetable and seafood options, a pescatarian could likely eat well, but the venue does not specifically label for this.
