NutrixeIL RISO
100% gluten-freeIL RISO, inside Melbourne's Mercato Centrale food hall, is a concept entirely dedicated to gluten-free Italian cuisine created by chef Simone Garusi: pasta, arancini, and desserts specifically designed for people with celiac disease. The stand has its own kitchen, separate from the other vendors in the food hall.
No wheat, rye or barley flour ever enters the establishment.
Good to know if you have celiac disease
Cross-contamination risk. Mixed kitchen, not entirely dedicated to gluten-free: contact with or shared preparation alongside gluten-containing products remains possible, even with no specific mechanism identified to date.

Existing establishment; gluten-free level and risks confirmed at the source.
Sources — Verified via the official site mercatocentrale.com.au ('il riso by Simone Garusi' page), and articles (Go Beyond Gluten) confirming separate kitchens that limit cross-contamination with the other stands in the food hall.
