Is it possible to have breakfast or dinner in your restaurant if I have gluten or lactose intolerances?
No problems for those who are lactose intolerant. Letting us know well in advance helps with kitchen management. However, greater care is needed for those with coeliac disease.
Domìa is a kitchen workshop that embraces baking and pastry-making from raw ingredients. We cannot, therefore, rule out the possibility of contamination. If you have serious allergies, it is best to stick to the certified products that we make available to guests at breakfast.
If, on the other hand, you have a coeliac condition that can tolerate traces of contaminants, we are happy to experiment by offering the same meals in a gluten-free version.
Contact the property for more details.
