Osteria LuCa
Osteria LuCa is widely recognised by coeliac diners as a safe choice.
Per-allergen evidence
Osteria LuCa is widely recognised by coeliac diners as a safe choice. The owner has personal experience with coeliac disease – his wife follows a gluten-free diet – and staff are trained to ask whether a diner has an allergy or a preference. Gluten-free items are marked on the menu, and gluten-free pasta, bread, and pizza crust are available on request. Pasta is boiled in a dedicated pot. Gluten-free pizzas are cooked on a separate sheet pan inside a shared oven, then cut with designated tools. Gluten-free desserts are stored separately. The kitchen is shared, and the same pizza oven is used for standard pizzas, but multiple repeat coeliac visitors report no issues. One incident involved a salad with croutons, but the overall pattern from many reviews is very positive. Highly sensitive diners are advised to call ahead.
