Several dishes are marked VE (vegan) on both menus, including Nocellara olives, grilled Romano peppers, hispi cabbage, charred carrot, and roasted squash. The kitchen is shared and no dedicated vegan prep area is mentioned, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff are well-informed and can guide choices.
