Pizzeria Portofino

Pizzeria Portofino is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen and has a shared cooking environment with 'flour everywhere'. The official menu notes a gluten-free cauliflower crust available upon request and GF pasta options. Multiple community reviews on FindMeGlutenFree report knowledgeable staff, a dedicated fryer for fries, and pasta boiled in separate water, but also warn of significant cross-contamination risk for pizza (shared oven, flour in the air). One symptomatic coeliac reviewer reported getting sick after eating the pizza. The venue is not Coeliac UK accredited (the Coeliac UK sources are generic venue guide pages, not listing this venue). Tier D reflects a marked-menu approach (GF items noted on menu) with shared equipment and acknowledged cross-contamination risk.
