Rustico

Rustico marks gluten-free items (gf) on its menu — pizza, pasta, bruschetta, and some desserts are available in GF versions. A dedicated GF oven is usually available, though one reviewer noted it was out of order and cross-contamination protocols were used instead. The kitchen is shared and not dedicated GF. Multiple coeliac diners report positive experiences with knowledgeable staff, but the shared kitchen and occasional equipment issues mean it's safest to confirm current practices by phone for those with high sensitivity.

Dairy-free

confidence 55% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Several reviews on FindMeGlutenFree describe Rustico as good for dairy-free, and one reviewer noted the chef made an off-menu dish that was dairy-free. The menu does not mark dairy-free items systematically, but some dishes are naturally dairy-free and staff can adapt. A vegan cheese option is available for pizza. No dedicated preparation area for dairy-free.
