Ostia
Celiac Safety Score
Ostia offers a limited selection of gluten-free options, including two types of salads and a risotto, but does not have dedicated gluten-free preparation areas. The absence of dedicated facilities raises concerns about cross-contamination, which is critical for celiac diners. With a solid rating of 4.5 from three reviews, the establishment may have some awareness of gluten-free needs, but the lack of explicit safety protocols or owner safety notes diminishes its overall safety for celiac individuals.
