Gluten free safe and beautiful fine dining Italian cuisine restaurant.

I have eaten here twice with friends. As a coeliac I have felt safe and comfortable to do so thanks to the personal attention of the host and servers to guiding me to the available safe choices and describing how these will be prepared gluten free. This does mean choosing dishes such as meat, fish and vegetables that are naturally gluten free as there are no gluten free substitutes for pizza or pasta dishes.

Major highlights have been -

++ Service is superb, friendly, attentive and not intrusive. On my visits the flawless English speaking has also been a huge plus since my friends and I speak no German.

++ Comfortable seating, generously sized tables and relaxing mood lighting

++ The variety of naturally gluten free dishes, including fish dishes and antipasti is more  than enough to provide some delicious choices

++ The Creme Brulee is without a doubt the most enjoyable I have ever sampled. Rich, velvety, luxurious and every spoonful to savor slowly

++ A shared antipasti for our table was suggested on our most recent visit and delighted everyone with fresh and varied foods. We would not have thought to ask for this ourselves and it is an example of how the staff at Lucente contribute to a lovely dining experience

Points I would like to improve are -

# Availability of an English language menu. The excellent hostess can translate flawlessly and Google Translate works well too, but an English language menu would be welcome

# Availability of more gluten free dishes. For those desiring pasta it is relatively simple for a restaurant to offer gluten free pasta and this would significantly expand the range of dishes available gluten free. Gluten Free bread is also relatively easy to make available and would enable dishes like bruschetta

These points would add the 5th Star :-)
