Va Penne

Va Penne offers gluten-free pasta and pizza, with multiple community reviews praising the quality. The Atly guide classifies it as 'Accommodating' with 'some risk of cross-contamination' and 'trained staff'. A diner review specifically notes the GF pasta is 'amazing' and 'good quality'. However, the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, uses shared equipment (it is a standard Italian restaurant serving regular pasta and pizza), and has no Coeliac Australia accreditation. The Ardor Gluten Free supplier page confirms Va Penne is a customer, meaning they source GF pasta from a dedicated supplier, but the kitchen itself is shared.
