Mediterranean Restaurant & Bistro Antonio Sandev

Two independent community reviewers report that an owner, or the owner's wife, has coeliac disease and that kitchen practice visibly reflects this. One reviewer notes that the owner bakes cakes herself and all of them are gluten free. Another documents the owner personally stopping by their table to reiterate familiarity with coeliac requirements. All desserts are gluten free by default, a pattern consistent across 40+ reviews. All other menu items can be made gluten free on request. Gluten free items are marked on the printed menu, confirmed by six independent structured reviewer responses. A dedicated pasta pot and clean water are confirmed by three or more reviewers. Knowledgeable staff are confirmed by nine community safety reports. Staff will clean kitchen space or change gloves per four community reports. The kitchen is not fully dedicated, as non gluten free items are also served. Fryer evidence is mixed, with four community reports of a dedicated gluten free fryer and one reviewer explicitly noting no dedicated fryer. One symptomatic celiac reported a bad reaction after a gluten free pasta dish, but the large majority of coeliac and symptomatic celiac reviewers report zero symptoms.

Four community members have tagged the venue as having 'Good vegan options.' Specific vegan items are evidenced in reviews: a vegan burger, a choux bun with vegan cream, a vegan brownie, and owner-baked vegan cakes. No Vegan Society accreditation or dedicated vegan menu marking is evidenced.

Five community members have tagged the venue as having 'Good vegetarian options.' Multiple individual reviews confirm vegetarian dishes are readily available: eggplant parmigiana, roasted vegetable salad, stuffed peppers, pasta, and risotto are cited. No evidence of explicit vegetarian menu marking (e.g. a 'V' code) has been found beyond the general GF coding.

Eleven community members have tagged the venue as 'Good for dairy-free.' One reviewer states that the restaurant can accommodate all different allergies, including gluten and dairy, and notes that some desserts are both gluten-free and dairy-free. The owner reportedly bakes some lactose-free cakes. Another reviewer observes that combining dairy-free with gluten-free is a little more challenging but still doable. No evidence exists of a dedicated dairy-free prep area or specific dairy-free menu markings.

One community reviewer tag confirms that pescatarian options are available. Multiple individual reviews list fish and seafood as GF-available menu items, including branzino, seabass, octopus salad, grilled calamari, baby calamari, paella, and other seafood. The Mediterranean cuisine naturally supports pescatarian dining.

A single symptomatic celiac reviewer with a concurrent nut allergy noted that nut-safe options were limited, but was safely accommodated with grilled chicken after staff read their allergy card and noted the allergy on the order. Single-source evidence only; community help wanted.
