Celiac safety assessment and key features
OLIVIA brings a touch of Italian luxury to gluten-free dining, offering an array of beautifully plated dishes—think fluffy garlic bread, risotto, and even polenta—that can be made gluten-free by request. The staff’s knowledge shines, with some servers sharing their own celiac experiences, which is always a relief when you’re scanning the room for hidden risks. While gluten-free menu items are clearly marked and there’s talk of a separate prep area for pasta plus a dedicated fryer, the kitchen isn’t fully gluten-free and some diners have reported cross-contamination incidents. If you’re comfortable having a detailed conversation with your server and don’t mind a bit of risk for a memorable meal, OLIVIA might just hit the spot, but those ultra-sensitive to gluten will want to proceed with extra care.
