Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

65%
Moderate

Vicino offers a breath of fresh air for gluten-free diners looking for a night out in downtown Indy. Their menu is clearly marked with gluten-free options, and staff consistently demonstrate genuine awareness—servers are quick to ask clarifying questions about celiac safety and are comfortable discussing cross-contact concerns. While it's not a dedicated gluten-free facility, the flexibility to swap in gluten-free pasta and adjust desserts (like that luscious zabaione sans ladyfinger) is such a relief when you want more than just salad. Still, if your celiac is super sensitive, keep in mind there's no separate kitchen—so that little twinge of uncertainty never quite goes away.
