Celiac safety assessment and key features
RPM Italian makes gluten-free diners feel seen, not just accommodated. There’s a genuine sense of care in every detail—from the separate gluten-free menu to the allergy flags and dedicated kitchen space for prepping GF orders. While it’s not a 100% gluten-free facility, staff are impressively well-versed in celiac safety and cross-contact (even swapping out pans or gloves when needed), and the kitchen boils GF pasta in its own water. The house-made gluten-free fettuccine and chicken parmesan are the stuff of legend for those of us who miss the classic Italian comfort foods, and it’s hard not to get a little emotional seeing so many celiacs walk away both satisfied and safe. Still, as with any non-dedicated environment, there’s always a sliver of risk—so speak up, ask questions, and savor every bite of that pasta.
