A menu that's already almost all gluten-free
Here gluten-free isn't a separate menu. Bistecca alla fiorentina, catch of the day, tartare, oysters, tagliata, lobster tacos: almost all our starters and mains are gluten-free exactly as they're written on the menu.
Pasta is usually where you have to give up. Not here: lobster linguine, tagliolini with fresh truffle, paccheri, cacio e pepe are all made with gluten-free pasta, cooked in its own pot, in fresh water, with separate utensils.
Our fried seafood is coated in rice flour and goes into a fryer that only ever sees gluten-free food, so you can have the fritto too. Gluten-free bread comes to the table, and the desserts include Basque cheesecake, orange brownie, lemon sorbet and affogato.
One thing to know: we are not certified by the Italian Celiac Association (AIC), and wheat flour is also used in our kitchen. If you have celiac disease, write it when you book and remind us at the table, so the kitchen knows before your order comes in.
