A dash (—) means none of the 14 named allergens are used in that dish as prepared. We handle all fourteen daily and cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano and Pecorino are traditionally made with animal rennet — if you avoid it, ask us and we will point you to dishes without them.
