Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

65%
Moderate

Mama Mila’s is the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into your Italian best friend’s kitchen—warm, generous, and always ready with a story. They offer gluten-free pasta imported from Italy and highlight gluten-free options on both their main and allergy menus, which shows genuine effort to accommodate celiacs. Here’s the catch: the kitchen is shared, and while staff can recommend modifications and seem allergy-aware, there’s no mention of a dedicated gluten-free space or strict cross-contamination protocols. If you’re sensitive to even trace gluten, you’ll want to ask plenty of questions, but for those who can navigate a shared kitchen with clear communication, Mama Mila’s brings heart (and some truly craveable sauces) to the table.
