Paesanos

Multiple locations offer a separate gluten-free menu with marked items. Staff are generally knowledgeable and at some locations (Riverwalk) use dedicated pasta pots and kitchen space. However, cross-contamination risk is acknowledged: no dedicated fryer, pizzas often cooked on shared surfaces, and multiple independent reports of glutening or wrong items served (Nima sensor failure, wrong bread). Not a dedicated gluten-free facility.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Multiple locations offer a separate gluten-free menu with marked items. Staff are generally knowledgeable and at some locations (Riverwalk) use dedicated pasta pots and kitchen space. However, cross-contamination risk is acknowledged: no dedicated fryer, pizzas often cooked on shared surfaces, and multiple independent reports of glutening or wrong items served (Nima sensor failure, wrong bread). Not a dedicated gluten-free facility.

Honest caveat: Multiple reports of cross-contamination including a Nima test finding gluten in pizza and wrong gluten-free bread being served, indicating inconsistent kitchen protocols.
