Celiac safety assessment and key features
Ovidio Italian Restaurant brings classic Italian warmth and hospitality, and they've made a point to offer gluten-free pasta and salads—always a hopeful sign for celiac diners craving familiar comfort foods. Still, let's be real: this isn't a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, and there's no mention of special prep areas or written protocols to prevent cross-contamination. The staff seems friendly and willing to customize dishes, but for those of us who live with celiac disease, that missing layer of safety can feel like a gamble. If you're highly sensitive, it's wise to ask detailed questions before ordering; but if your needs are less strict or you're dining with a mixed group, Ovidio could be a cozy spot for a plate of GF pasta—just approach with care.
