Celiac safety assessment and key features

Good

Martini Modern Italian really gets what it means to dine out gluten-free when you have celiac—there's a genuine sense of care from the moment you mention your needs. The menu boasts a generous spread of Italian classics marked (GF), with staff who don't just memorize protocols, but actually understand why cross-contact matters. While the kitchen isn’t 100% gluten-free, they cook gluten-free pasta in separate water and are happy to walk you through safer choices (though, alas, lasagna and tortelloni can't be swapped). If you’re craving fresh focaccia or crave-worthy pasta in an upbeat setting—and want to feel seen, not sidelined—this spot feels like a rare treat, as long as you're comfortable with a shared kitchen that takes real precautions.
