What diners say

No diner ratings yet.

Ratings are diners’ own experience. They don’t make a dish safe; neither do we.

Where this comes from

Allergen answers come from the menu’s labels first, then the listed ingredients, then a model’s judgement checked when unsure. How allergen status is decided.

Questions about Cipri Italian

Does Cipri Italian have gluten-free options?

Yes: 13 dishes are gluten free as served, and 8 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 1 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is Cipri Italian coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Gluten free penne or house made chickpea tagliolini available on request (+$4) on main, La Cenetta and take home menus.”. Chef’s Kiss reads each venue’s own menu and says where every answer came from. It never calls a dish safe: kitchens share fryers, boards and flour, and menus change. If you have coeliac disease or an allergy, confirm with staff before you order.

What can be made gluten free at Cipri Italian?

House Made Capocollo (Gluten-free option on request); Beef Carpaccio (Gluten-free option on request); Grilled Calamari (Gluten-free option on request); Cuttlefish with Pea Puree (Gluten-free option on request); Maccheroncini alla Gricia con Carciofi (GF penne or chickpea tagliolini on request (+$4)); Squid Ink Spaghetti (GF penne or chickpea tagliolini on request (+$4)).
