Per-allergen evidence
Multiple verified-coeliac reviewers note that the chef and owner, Rocco, has direct personal experience with coeliac disease through a coeliac partner, ex-girlfriend, and family member. One of the owners is reportedly coeliac. The kitchen uses a separate stand mixer, Caputo flour, dedicated prep areas, and other dedicated equipment, with glove changes. The menu is allergen-marked. Most dishes, including pizza, pasta, bread or buns, tiramisu, and gelato, can be made gluten-free. However, the kitchen is not dedicated. Gluten-free pizzas share the wood-fired oven with gluten pizzas, though they are cooked on a tray. There is no dedicated fryer.
