Maccheroni Republic

The venue's FAQ confirms vegan options exist for selected dishes and advises asking the server for recommendations. A vegan blog review from 2017 reports that waiters are accommodating and can modify dishes, and that a specific pasta dish was 'designed for vegans' plus a vegan chocolate mousse dessert was available. However, the review is from 2017 and the venue's own allergy notice lists milk, eggs, and other non-vegan ingredients as present in the kitchen, with no dedicated vegan prep area mentioned.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

The venue's FAQ does not explicitly mention vegetarian options, but as an Italian restaurant serving pasta, vegetarian dishes are likely available on request. The vegan blog review confirms the venue can accommodate plant-based requests, suggesting vegetarian options are also available by asking the server. No dedicated vegetarian menu or marking is mentioned.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.85 ·

Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.

The venue's own Food Allergy Notice states that gluten-free items are prepared in a common kitchen and are not recommended for guests with coeliac disease or any gluten-sensitive disorder. Multiple coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree report getting sick, including one who marked a gluten allergy on their order and still experienced moderate-to-severe symptoms. Another coeliac reviewer confirms the GF pasta is cooked in the same water as regular pasta. The venue's FAQ says 'ask your server for recommendations' rather than offering a dedicated menu or process.

Honest caveat: Multiple coeliac diners report getting sick after eating here, and the venue's own allergy notice explicitly advises against dining here for coeliacs.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
