Allergens & dietary needs

Allergens and dietary needs

Our kitchen is small and flour is everywhere. Here is what is in every dish, what we can change, and what we honestly cannot promise.

Every dough is mixed in the same room, which matters if you are coeliac.

The fourteen allergens, dish by dish

Each dish lists the allergens it contains as an ingredient. Traces of gluten, milk, egg, tree nuts and sesame may be present in everything we make. The table was last checked against our recipes on 1 October 2026.

Gluten-free

Our gluten-free base

We make a gluten-free pizza al molde base from rice flour, tapioca and psyllium. It is baked in its own set of tins, marked with a red band, that never touch wheat dough.

  • Available in the chica size only, for an extra £3.00.
  • Can be topped as a muzzarella, napolitana, fugazza or fugazzeta. It cannot be made as a rellena, because the double layer does not hold.
  • We make twelve gluten-free bases a day. When they are gone they are gone, so mention it when you book.
  • It is not available for delivery, because the delivery boxes are packed on a floured counter.

The bases are baked in the same deck oven as everything else. We are comfortable recommending them to guests who avoid gluten, but we cannot call them safe for coeliacs. Fainá is made from chickpea flour with no wheat in the recipe, under the same caveat.

Plant-based

Vegan and dairy-free

The fugazza, the fainá, the ensalada criolla, the olives and the pan y chimichurri are vegan as they come. Any of our pizzas can be made with a cashew-based vegan mozzarella for £2.00 extra, which brings tree nuts into the dish. None of the empanadas are vegan: the pastry is made with butter, and the vegetable fillings contain egg and cheese.

We do not have a vegan dulce de leche. The pomelo soda and the lemonade are the closest thing to a vegan dessert we can offer, and we know that is not good enough.

Other things worth knowing

  • The calabresa sausage contains pork. The only beef on the menu is in the carne empanada.
  • Our meat is not halal. We have no fish or shellfish in the kitchen at all.
  • The Azul y nueces is finished with honey.
  • We have no deep fryer. The empanadas are baked, never fried.

Please tell your server about any allergy before you order, every time, even if you have told us before. If you are ordering delivery, tell the person who takes your call: delivery details.
