Does Locale Have Gluten-Free Options?
Five dishes on Locale’s current menu are gluten free as served: Locale Salad, Minestrone, Broccoli Rabe, Branzino All’Acqua Pazza and Ribeye “My Way.” Gluten-free pasta and gluten-free cauliflower-crust pizza are also available. We checked each dish against the menu, so you don’t have to guess, or ask your server to guess for you.

Locale is a working Italian kitchen with shared pasta water and a flour-dusted oven, so “gluten free as served” is not the same as a dedicated gluten-free kitchen.
