Bar La Grassa

Bar La Grassa offers a separate gluten-free menu, with items marked GF and including homemade gluten-free pasta. The kitchen has a dedicated pot and water for gluten-free pasta, along with some dedicated equipment, but the grill is shared for items like GF bread. Staff are reported as knowledgeable about coeliac needs and will clean surfaces or change gloves. However, the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility: shared equipment and a shared grill create cross-contact risk, and one symptomatic reviewer reported being glutened after multiple safe visits. The online ordering menu marks several items clearly as GF or not available GF, but the official menu page lacks allergen labels. A separate PDF allergen guide is linked but not scraped. Call ahead to confirm current practices for coeliac safety.

Several dishes on the menu are explicitly marked as vegan on the online ordering page, such as the Oyster Mushrooms (vegan, nut free, GF) and Roasted Cauliflower with Red Pepper Crema (vegan and GF). The FindMeGlutenFree aggregator notes symbols including VG on the separate menu. No dedicated vegan equipment or kitchen space is reported, and the menu is dominated by cheese, meat, and egg-containing Italian dishes. Vegans can find options but should confirm cross-contact practices with staff.

The menu offers a substantial number of vegetarian options. Many dishes are pasta, vegetable, and cheese-based, including Butternut Squash (marked vegetarian, GF) and Roasted Beet Pesto (contains cheese and hazelnuts), along with several cheese-focused items. At least one dish on the online ordering menu explicitly carries a vegetarian label alongside other dietary labels. No dedicated vegetarian preparation area has been reported. Italian cuisine by its nature includes many vegetarian choices. Because the kitchen is shared with meat dishes, cross-contact remains possible.

The menu relies heavily on dairy ingredients such as cheeses, creams, and butter. Certain dishes are explicitly labeled as not dairy-free; the Braised Lamb Shank is gluten-free but cannot be made dairy-free. The Basque Cheesecake contains dairy. The Roasted Cauliflower is vegan and therefore dairy-free. No dedicated dairy-free equipment or separate preparation area has been reported. Diners with dairy allergies will encounter limited options. They should call ahead to confirm which dishes can be adapted to be dairy-free and to evaluate the risk of cross-contact in a kitchen that uses dairy extensively.

The online ordering menu notes nut content on several dishes: Arancini (contains fish sauce, not nuts), Roasted Beet Pesto (contains hazelnuts and cheese), Butternut Squash (dried chili sauce contains nuts and sesame), and Basque Cheesecake (contains nuts). One dish (Oyster Mushrooms) is explicitly labelled 'nut free'. The separate menu uses symbols including Nuts. No dedicated nut-free prep area or fryer is reported, and the kitchen handles hazelnuts, pine nuts, and nut-containing sauces. Nut-allergic diners should confirm cross-contact management with staff.

The Basque Cheesecake on the menu contains eggs. No other egg-specific mentions, no egg-free marked dishes, and no kitchen practice information related to eggs are found in the sources. This signal is very thin. Diners with egg allergies should call ahead to inquire about egg-free options and cross-contact risk.

One menu item, the Arancini, notes that its spicy yogurt contains fish sauce. The menu offers no explicit mention of shellfish, no dishes marked as shellfish-free, and no information about kitchen practices. This provides a very thin signal. A diner should call ahead to confirm shellfish safety.
