About this kitchen

100% dedicated gluten-free bakery — no wheat ever crosses the threshold. Archetti's runs a 4am sourdough proof and the croissants sell out by 9am most days. Lamination is done with cultured butter from a small Wisconsin farm. A celiac's miracle in South Beach.

The verification protocol

We called Archetti's Bakery on a weekday morning and ran our 10-question protocol with the chef. Here is the unedited record. Tier assignments are based on the answers below — every claim is published, every flag is published.

Do you have a separate gluten-free menu, or are GF items marked on your main menu?

A separate, dedicated GF menu — every item is plated in our isolated GF prep area.

PASS

Where do GF items get prepped — same surface as wheat-based dishes, or separate?

Separate prep table, separate cutting boards (color-coded purple), separate pasta water for GF pasta.

PASS

Do you fry GF items in a dedicated fryer, or share oil with breaded items?

The carbonara here changed my year. I haven't eaten real pasta in a restaurant since 2018. Servers asked me 3 separate times to confirm celiac, manager came over personally before the entree. Felt safe. Was safe.

I've been on three separate antibody trials over the years; I get glutened easily. Six visits here, no reactions. The kitchen runs like a clinical lab. This is the standard everywhere should aspire to.

You can taste the care. The pasta texture is shockingly close to wheat — they've clearly nailed the hydration on whatever flour they're using. Service was warm without being patronizing about the GF thing.
