Napoli Contemporanea

Insider-led: multiple verified-coeliac reviewers report the chef/owner Rocco has direct personal experience with coeliac disease (a coeliac partner, ex-girlfriend, and family member), and one of the owners is reportedly coeliac. Kitchen uses a separate stand mixer, Caputo flour, dedicated prep areas, and 'other dedicated equipment' with glove changes. Menu is allergen-marked and most dishes can be made GF (pizza, pasta, bread/buns, tiramisu, gelato). However, the kitchen is not dedicated: GF pizzas share the wood-fired oven with gluten pizzas (cooked on a tray) and there is no dedicated fryer.

Insider-led, Owner, chef, staff, or a close friend or family member needs to avoid this allergen themselves; kitchen practice reflects that.

Insider-led: multiple verified-coeliac reviewers report the chef/owner Rocco has direct personal experience with coeliac disease (a coeliac partner, ex-girlfriend, and family member), and one of the owners is reportedly coeliac. Kitchen uses a separate stand mixer, Caputo flour, dedicated prep areas, and 'other dedicated equipment' with glove changes. Menu is allergen-marked and most dishes can be made GF (pizza, pasta, bread/buns, tiramisu, gelato). However, the kitchen is not dedicated: GF pizzas share the wood-fired oven with gluten pizzas (cooked on a tray) and there is no dedicated fryer.

Honest caveat: GF pizzas are baked in the same oven as gluten pizzas (cooked on a tray), and one coeliac diner reported being sick after eating here.
