Strada & Co
Multiple converging sources confirm Strada & Co operates a 100% gluten-free kitchen. Recent reviews from symptomatic coeliacs (within 1–2 months of fetch date) describe the venue as having 'returned to a 100% GF menu' with a dedicated kitchen and dedicated fryer. The Uber Eats menu marks individual items with (GF) codes. Community reports on FindMeGlutenFree corroborate a dedicated gluten-free kitchen space, knowledgeable staff, and food flagged as gluten-free. An older review (7 months prior) noted the new owners briefly introduced gluten onto the premises, but multiple more recent reviews from symptomatic coeliacs confirm this has since been reversed. No reactions reported in recent visits.

Vegan
confidence 0.55 ·
Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
Two community reviewers note 'good vegan options' and the Uber Eats menu lists a 'Verdure Panino (vegan)'. No dedicated vegan prep area is evidenced; dairy and meat items are present on the menu. Vegan items are labelled but in a shared context.

Vegetarian

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
Community reviewers note 'good vegetarian options' and the Uber Eats menu marks at least one item as (V)(GF) (Vegetable Pastie). Meat-containing items are also on the menu, so this is a marked-menu, shared-kitchen situation.

Dairy-free
confidence 0.62 ·
Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
Multiple community reviewers flag the venue as 'good for dairy-free', and the Uber Eats menu marks at least one item as (GF)(DF) (Beef Pie). However, many menu items contain cheese or dairy (stracciatella, fior di latte, mozzarella, etc.) and there is no evidence of a dedicated dairy-free prep area. Dairy-free options are available and labelled but in a shared kitchen context.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.
The Uber Eats menu includes salmon-based dishes (Salmon Bowl, Salmon Bagel) alongside meat-containing items. Vegetarian and fish options are marked but in a shared kitchen. Pescatarian diners can find suitable labelled options, though no dedicated pescatarian category exists.
Low-FODMAP
confidence 0.50 ·
Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.
Two community reviewers tag the venue as 'Low-FODMAP friendly', and one reviewer explicitly mentions 'fructose free' items. One FODMAP-intolerant reviewer describes 'loads of gluten and dairy-free options'. The Uber Eats menu notes one item as 'fructose friendly'. No structured low-FODMAP menu or staff training is documented; this appears to be availability on request with aware staff rather than a formally marked menu.

Nut-free
confidence 0.65 ·
Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.
The Uber Eats menu explicitly flags 'Contains Nuts' on multiple items (Cotoletta Panini with basil pesto, Caprese Panini with basil pesto, Polpette Panini with pine nuts). Given a fully gluten-free kitchen with no dedicated nut-free area evidenced, and nuts present across several menu items, this venue is not appropriate for nut-anaphylaxis diners.
