Limoncello

Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu and GF food is flagged with a sticker on the plate. The kitchen uses a dedicated gluten-free fryer, a dedicated pasta pot, and a separate toaster for GF bread. Staff are knowledgeable and will clean surfaces/change gloves. However, it is not a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen; cross-contamination is possible. Multiple community reviews report no reactions, but one older Nima test found gluten. Overall, a strong option with marked menu and dedicated equipment.
