Celiac Safety Score

55
Moderate Safety

La Grolla charms with its classic Italian comfort food—think rich risottos and satisfying gluten-free pasta, plus desserts that actually taste like a treat. Still, as a celiac myself, I can’t ignore the mixed bag when it comes to safety. While some staff members seem well-versed in gluten-free needs (separate pots for pasta, marked menu items), there are troubling reports of severe reactions even after precautions were taken. If you’re highly sensitive or have celiac disease, the risk of cross-contact here is real—so you might want to keep this spot on your 'maybe with lots of questions' list rather than your go-to for worry-free dining.
