La Cantina
La Cantina in Italy is AIC-certified (Italian Celiac Association) and offers a dedicated gluten-free menu with marked dishes. The Warsaw branch reportedly has a separate kitchen space with dedicated equipment and utensils for gluten-free preparation, and staff are trained on cross-contamination protocols. However, the certification year is not stated, and the Warsaw information comes from a third-party blog that advises confirming details before visiting. Other locations (Montreal, Versailles, Epcot) have shared fryers and inconsistent safety, so practices vary by branch. For the Italian and Warsaw locations, call ahead to confirm current procedures.

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.
