Celiac Safety Score

50
Moderate Safety

Rustica Brick Oven Cafe offers a diverse range of gluten-free options, including 12 types of pizza and various appetizers and desserts. However, it lacks dedicated gluten-free preparation areas, which raises concerns about cross-contamination. The establishment's high rating suggests customer satisfaction, but the absence of explicit safety protocols for celiac diners limits its overall safety score. Therefore, while there are gluten-free menu items available, the risk of contamination may be significant for those with celiac disease.
