Bella Italia - Irving Street

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.

This branch offers gluten-free pasta and pizza options and the menu is tagged for GF options in third‑party listings, but a recent Yelp review documents a serious incident where a coeliac diner was served a regular pizza instead of gluten-free and only told after eating. No source describes dedicated equipment, separate prep areas, or formal staff training. Kitchen practice appears inconsistent: some staff are attentive while the documented failure suggests a real cross‑contamination risk. Best to call ahead, stress the coeliac requirement, and confirm procedures with the manager.

Honest caveat: A Yelp review (Aug 2025) reports a coeliac diner was served a regular pizza after explicitly ordering gluten-free and only informed mid-meal, resulting in contamination for the whole party.

The venue advertises vegan options (including a vegan GF chocolate cake) and is tagged as vegan‑friendly by several third‑party directories. However, a negative report on goodforallergies.com describes a diner being mistakenly served meat instead of a vegan option, with health repercussions. No source details whether vegan meals are prepared with separate utensils or surfaces. Staff attentiveness varies; the documented mix‑up undermines confidence. Confirm specific vegan orders with the kitchen on arrival.

Honest caveat: A reviewer on goodforallergies.com reports being served meat instead of a vegan option, causing significant health repercussions.

Listed as offering vegetarian options on multiple third‑party travel and review sites. No source describes how vegetarian dishes are handled, whether separate preparation areas exist, or if the kitchen has any formal policy. Given the broader kitchen issues reported for vegan and gluten‑free orders, vegetarian diners should confirm their needs with staff.

Honest caveat: Same kitchen as the vegan/gluten‑free orders where documented mistakes occurred; cross‑contact is possible.
