Per-allergen evidence
Eat-Alley Asakusa offers a marked gluten-free menu in a shared Italian kitchen. The restaurant uses dedicated equipment, including separate utensils and prep areas, and makes a buckwheat pizza dough that is imported from Nepal and prepared fresh to order. The Nepalese owner is publicly committed to coeliac safety and asks gluten-free customers to reserve in advance so the dough can be prepped separately. Across roughly 20 first-person reviews, multiple coeliac reviewers report no reactions. Reports on a dedicated fryer are mixed; one reviewer notes that there is no dedicated fryer, so this is not a fully dedicated gluten-free setup.
