Luca
Luca offers a separate gluten-free menu and makes GF pasta in-house. The kitchen is shared and not dedicated gluten-free, but some reviews report a dedicated fryer and pasta pot. Staff knowledge varies: some are well-informed, while one review describes a serious cross-contact incident with a cocktail rim containing gluten. Call ahead to confirm current practices.

Honest caveat: A review reports a cross-contact incident where a cocktail rim contained crushed graham crackers (gluten) not listed in ingredients, causing a reaction; the waitress blamed the new menu item.
