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.

Pescatarian

confidence 0.55 ·

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.

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.
