Questions about Vespucci Ristorante Italiano

Does Vespucci Ristorante Italiano have gluten-free options?

No dish is marked gluten free as served, from the menu read 11 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

The venue notes: “Spaghetti alla Carbonara (Food Menu) carries the printed note: 'No additions, changes, substitution to this dish.'”.
