Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

65%
Moderate

Pasta Louise feels like a breath of fresh air for gluten-free pasta lovers, with their house-made GF rigatoni and nearly every sauce available gluten-free. The staff’s celiac awareness is evident: they use separate water, utensils, and cookware for GF pasta, and are upfront about risks, which—let’s be honest—means a lot when you’re used to being brushed off. That said, it’s not a dedicated facility, and their kitchen does handle wheat flour, so the risk of cross-contact isn’t zero; some diners have had trouble, while many others (myself included) have enjoyed safe, satisfying meals. If you’re comfortable with strong but not foolproof protocols—and crave that chewy, springy bite of fresh pasta—this spot could easily become your go-to comfort food fix.
