Vegetarian and vegan options are clearly marked on the menu, with a single icon for vegetarian dishes and a double icon for vegan ones. Pastagereichte can be prepared with gluten-free noodles, and the menu includes many vegetable-forward dishes. The restaurant's ethos emphasises healthy, regional ingredients. The shared kitchen is not a cross-contact concern for vegetarian diners.
The venue offers gluten-free pasta (available for all pasta dishes except ravioli) and has a 'GF Menu' tag on FindMeGlutenFree, with some dishes marked as GF. Staff are reported as informed and motivated, and one reviewer noted the chef offered to minimise cross-contamination. However, the kitchen is shared (no dedicated fryer) and the venue is not a dedicated GF facility. Diner should confirm cross-contact precautions directly with staff.
