Eat-Alley Asakusa

Marked GF menu with dedicated equipment (separate utensils, prep areas, and a buckwheat pizza dough imported from Nepal made fresh to order) in a shared Italian kitchen. The Nepalese owner is publicly committed to coeliac safety, asks GF customers to reserve in advance so dough can be prepped separately, and multiple celiac reviewers report no reactions across roughly 20 first-person reviews. Reports on a dedicated fryer are mixed (one reviewer notes 'no dedicated fryer') so this is not a fully dedicated GF setup.

Vegan

confidence 0.80 ·

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Italian restaurant serving meat but with a full separate vegan menu that diners specifically praise; the owner is reported to 'know what vegan means' and proactively flagged cashews in a pesto dish to a customer. Shared kitchen with non-vegan pizza and pasta, so cross-contact risk is acknowledged but staff awareness is strong.

Vegetarian

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Vegetarian options called out by both celiac and vegan reviewers; menu marks vegan dishes which double as vegetarian, but the kitchen is shared with meat-based Italian dishes.

Nut-free

confidence 0.55 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Staff are nut-aware: an owner proactively warned a diner that the pesto linguine contained cashews and steered them to a safe alternative. No marked nut-free menu and no dedicated equipment evidence, so accommodation appears to be conversation-led.
