2 E Jefferson St #113, Phoenix, AZ 85004, USA

Italian

Rosso Italian brings a real sense of relief for gluten-free folks craving classic Italian—think hearty pasta and bubbly pizza—without the usual stress. While not fully dedicated gluten-free, they've carved out separate kitchen space and use distinct equipment for gluten-free orders, which shows a thoughtful approach to cross-contact. The staff’s willingness to field questions and clarify prep steps gives that all-important peace of mind (and honestly, that's half the battle when you have celiac). If you’re longing for a honey-drizzled burrata pizza or crave pasta without the stomach-churning aftermath, this spot just might hit the mark—though the shared kitchen means extra caution is wise for the super-sensitive among us.
