Max on Hardware

Gluten-free menu items are available (pasta, pizza with GF base, risotto, seafood) and are marked on the menu, but the kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free. Multiple reviewers confirm the pizza is cooked in the same oven as regular pizzas and there is no dedicated fryer — shared prep and shared appliances are the dominant structural fact here.

Per-allergen evidence

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.72 ·

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

Gluten-free menu items are available (pasta, pizza with GF base, risotto, seafood) and are marked on the menu, but the kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free. Multiple reviewers confirm the pizza is cooked in the same oven as regular pizzas and there is no dedicated fryer — shared prep and shared appliances are the dominant structural fact here.

Honest caveat: Multiple symptomatic coeliac reviewers independently report being told the pizza oven is shared and the fryer is not dedicated, with mixed and contradictory staff responses about safety.
