Sicilian Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria The Rocks

The menu marks vegetarian dishes with '(v)' or '(V)' codes across entrees, pasta, salads, and pizzas, including Penne Alla Norma (v), Truffle Gnocchi (v), Margherita (V), and Mista Salad (v)(vg). Multiple clearly labelled vegetarian options exist. The restaurant does not state a dedicated prep area; the kitchen is shared.

The menu marks individual dishes with 'gf' and 'gfo' codes, for example Bresaola Carpaccio (gf), Risotto Alle Verdurine (gf)(v), and Rib-Eye (GF); it also offers gluten-free pasta and pizza base swaps for an upcharge. No dedicated fryer or dedicated kitchen is mentioned; the restaurant operates a shared kitchen that also makes regular pasta and pizza dough, so cross-contamination risk is real. Staff are invited to be notified of dietary needs, but no structural separation is evidenced.

The menu marks the Mista Salad as '(v)(vg)', dessert page references 'vegan options available', and pizzas list 'Swap vegan cheese +$3'. A vegan chocolate raspberry dessert is marked '(GF)(DF)(NF)(EF)'. Marking is present but sparse and the kitchen is shared. No dedicated vegan prep area is stated.

Numerous fish and seafood dishes appear on the menu and are clearly identifiable (swordfish, prawns, crab, lobster). Multiple vegetarian options are also clearly marked. Pescatarians can identify suitable dishes, though no specific 'pescatarian' marking exists. The general menu structure makes fish dishes easy to identify.

The Vegan Chocolate Raspberry dessert is marked '(DF)' and the Mista Salad is also dairy-free by ingredients; 'Swap vegan cheese' is offered on pizzas. The menu uses 'df' marking on some items (e.g. Mixed Sicilian Olives (gfo)(df)). However dairy is pervasive throughout the menu (cheese, butter, cream, burrata, mozzarella) and no dedicated prep area is claimed.

The Vegan Chocolate Raspberry dessert is explicitly marked '(NF)'. Pistachios feature in the Sicilian Cannoli, placing nuts on the premises. No dedicated nut-free area is mentioned. The NF designation covers that single dish only; no structural separation is evidenced for anaphylaxis-level risk.

The menu marks the Vegan Chocolate Raspberry dessert with an '(EF)' notation. No other items carry an egg-free label. Multiple dishes, including pasta, desserts, and crumbed chicken, are likely to contain eggs. The evidence for egg-free options is limited to that single dish marking.

Shellfish dishes such as prawn, lobster, and crab appear throughout the menu. Examples include Ravioli D'aragosta & Granchio, Gamberi pizza, and Linguine Al Pesce Spada with prawn bisque. The restaurant does not have a shellfish-free marking system. The only stated method for accommodating dietary needs is through staff requests, as the venue says: 'We are happy to cater for all dietary requirements, please let a member of staff know when ordering.' A shared kitchen with extensive shellfish use creates a high risk of cross-contamination.
