Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Several dishes are marked VG on the menu (House Focaccia, Nocellara Olives, Bread and Olives, Panelle, Gemelli ai Ceci & Tartufo, Ravioli agli Spinaci, Bucatini Aglio e Olio, Reginette Aglio Nero e Peperoni, Salame di Cioccolato). SquareMeal confirms the team can tweak dishes for vegans. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination with dairy/egg is possible.
