Mercato

Huang Pu Qu · · €⁠€
GF·CoeliacA

Multiple community reviews report AIC (Italian Celiac Association) accreditation. A separate gluten-free menu is available, along with a dedicated fryer, dedicated kitchen space, a dedicated pizza oven, a dedicated pasta pot, and separately packaged cutlery and plates. Staff are knowledgeable and food is flagged. This is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, but strong structural safety measures are in place.

Goodfellas

Waitan · · €⁠€
GF·CoeliacA

Goodfellas is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Community reports confirm the restaurant uses a dedicated gluten-free pasta pot and water, employs knowledgeable staff, and marks allergens on menu items. Multiple coeliac diners report no adverse reactions across several visits, with staff accommodating gluten-free pasta and other items. Some risk remains from a shared general kitchen and a possible shared fryer (only one report of a dedicated fryer exists). The venue’s menu is clearly marked for gluten-free options, and staff demonstrate strong allergen awareness.

Huang Pu Qu · · €⁠€
GF·CoeliacA

The Press Wine Bar in Tremont, Cleveland, had a chef who marked gluten-free items on a menu. Multiple options were offered. The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility and is now archived or closed. No accreditation or dedicated kitchen evidence is present.

VegB

Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu at the Shanghai branches. Burgers can be served with a salad instead of a bun. The Hong Kong Airport branch, now permanently closed, had a dedicated gluten-free fryer and knowledgeable staff but also conflicting reports about availability. For Shanghai, no dedicated fryer or separate prep area is confirmed, indicating shared equipment and cross-contamination risk.

DairyB

Several restaurants in Scena provide gluten-free options, including Lido Schenna with its gluten-free pizza, Alpenrose Hotel Café offering what it calls cuisine without glutine, Emmi Café & Bistro with gluten-free dishes, and Konditorei Bäckerei Höfler selling gluten-free cakes. No dedicated gluten-free kitchen, accredited certification, or separate fryer and preparation area has been noted. The common Italian practice of using a shared oven and shared prep space is implied. One community comment concerning Ramilia-Waldschenke mentions a same-oven caveat, noting a cross-contamination risk. The overall arrangement of a marked menu alongside shared facilities places the location in Tier D.

Al Borgo
