Celiac safety assessment and key features
Nicole’s Restaurant is a breath of fresh air for celiacs seeking classic Italian comfort food with genuine care. The menu is peppered with gluten-free options, from pasta and chicken parmesan to flourless chocolate torte, and the staff are refreshingly knowledgeable—one celiac server even went out of their way to reassure me about kitchen protocols. While the kitchen isn’t fully dedicated gluten-free, marked menu items, separate prep steps (on request), and consistent staff training help minimize risks. It’s not foolproof, but you’ll feel seen here; just let your server know your needs and you’re in good hands for a hearty, stress-free meal.
