Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu, with dishes like a coconut-milk risotto and a spaghetti primavera without Parmesan. Multiple HappyCow and Spinach reviewers praise the kitchen's thoughtfulness (e.g. the risotto is designed to work without dairy, not just a stripped-back dish). Staff are described as knowledgeable about vegan requests. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contact is possible but the vegan dishes appear to be deliberately composed rather than adapted on the fly. Reliable for vegan diners.
The menu features two clearly labeled vegan burgers, and a vegetarian burger can be made vegan upon request. The kitchen handles meat, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff are described as helpful and friendly.
Izzy's Restaurant (Kelso, WA) is reported to have gluten-free options including pizza cooked in its own foil pan and a salad bar laid out to avoid cross-contamination. However, the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, does not have a gluten-free menu, and labeling is inconsistent. The business is permanently closed. For the Apia, Samoa location, no allergen information is available.
Honest caveat, The Kelso location is permanently closed; the Apia location has no documented allergen practices.
The venue claims 'Vegan options' and one long-time reviewer regularly orders the fettuccine/penne vedura without butter and cheese as a vegan request. The kitchen is willing to modify dishes on request, but no dedicated vegan equipment or protocol is mentioned. Best to confirm with staff when ordering.
Several reviews note 'plentiful vegetarian options' and 'a lot of vegetarian options,' but there's no detail on whether any dishes are clearly marked or how the kitchen handles cross-contamination. The venue serves meat, so vegetarian dishes likely share a kitchen.
Honest caveat, No safety incidents reported, but kitchen practices for vegetarian preparation are unconfirmed.
The venue labels itself as offering 'Gluten free options' on its TripAdvisor listing. However, a reviewer reported that the manager/chef refused a simple substitution of fries for salad for an unspecified 'eating restriction,' indicating limited kitchen flexibility. No menu markings, dedicated equipment, or staff training are mentioned. Call ahead to discuss gluten-free needs before visiting.
Honest caveat, A reviewer reported that a request to replace a salad with fries for dietary restrictions was refused by the manager/chef, suggesting limited flexibility for gluten-free needs.
No dishes are marked gluten-free on the menu. The restaurant asks diners to email for gluten-free options, but does not share any details about dedicated equipment or cross-contamination management. Call ahead or email to discuss your needs before visiting.
Honest caveat, No menu-level allergen marking; kitchen practices for gluten-free are unstated.
