Taurasi stands out for its expansive, thoughtfully crafted gluten-free menu—honestly, it’s rare to see a Southern Italian spot that goes this far for celiac guests. The kitchen offers imported Italian gluten-free pasta and makes nearly every protein, side, and sauce available gluten-free, so you never feel like an afterthought. While it’s not a dedicated gluten-free facility, the team’s willingness to accommodate dietary needs shines through, and staff are used to fielding questions about cross-contamination. Still, if you’re extra-sensitive, you’ll want to have a candid chat with your server about prep protocols—shared kitchens always come with some risk, but Taurasi’s attention to detail and flexibility make it a standout for safe, satisfying Italian fare.
