Cinque Terre Ristorante

One of the cooks/chefs has coeliac disease, driving serious gluten-free practices. GF pasta from Manini's is boiled in a dedicated pot with fresh water. No dedicated fryer and no printed gluten-free menu, but multiple coeliac diners report safe experiences. A single documented incident of a wrong pasta dish (regular given instead of GF) occurred, though the majority of reviews are positive.
