The kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free space, but a separate pasta pot is kept for gluten-free cooking and staff are trained to handle coeliac requests. Several gluten-free options are on the menu, though these are not consistently marked. A shared fryer means cross-contamination risk exists. Calling ahead to confirm safety is advisable.
