Giapo

Giapo's own website repeatedly states it operates a '100 percent gluten free kitchen,' producing gelato, ice cream, pizza, sandwiches, lasagne, meatballs, bakery items and desserts onsite. Multiple travel blogs corroborate that gluten-free options are available, though none independently verify the fully-dedicated kitchen claim.

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

Multiple independent blogs confirm Giapo carries vegan ice cream flavours and dairy-free cones alongside its standard dairy gelato, with staff actively offering all-vegan flavour tastings (e.g. coconut cookies & cream, strawberry & chocolate vegan). Not a fully vegan establishment - regular gelato is the primary product.

Dairy-free

confidence 0.65 ·

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

Dairy-free ice cream flavours and cones are explicitly available via the vegan offerings, with staff guiding diners through plant-based options. Standard gelato production is dairy-based so cross-contamination on shared equipment is a realistic risk.
