Osteria LuCa
Osteria LuCa is widely recognised by coeliac diners as a safe choice. The owner has personal experience with coeliac disease (his wife is gluten-free), and staff are trained to ask about allergy versus preference. The menu marks GF items and offers gluten-free pasta, bread, and pizza crust on request. Pasta is boiled in a dedicated pot; GF pizzas are cooked on a separate sheet pan in a shared oven and cut with designated tools. GF desserts are kept separate. 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. Call ahead if you are highly sensitive.

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.
