Prezzo - Lincoln

During my visit, we didn’t have a reservation, which meant we only had an hour to dine before having to leave, as our table was reserved for someone else. So, I highly recommend making a reservation. Regarding gluten-free options, they provide a separate allergen menu that details all the menu items along with their allergens, making it easy to identify which options are suitable for those with celiac disease. I opted for the Ham and Mushroom Mascarpone Pizza, which used a store-bought Schär pizza base—a familiar choice for those of us on a gluten-free diet, as many restaurants do. My partner, who is dairy-free, ordered the seafood linguine without cheese, and it was relatively simple to find a dairy-free option. It's important to specify that you want the gluten-free option when requesting the allergen menu, but the staff member who served us was very friendly and accommodating. However, I do have some concerns about the measures in place to prevent cross-contamination. While I would expect that to be considered, especially for a chain restaurant with gluten-free offerings, I didn’t get a clear sense that it was being actively managed.

Not bad for a chain restaurant. This location is a great Italian eatery, and it's the second one I've visited in Lincoln. This place is a higher-end chain and has never disappointed me. It's much better than the restaurant next door. They often have a 2-for-1 main meal voucher available online, so it's worth looking for one (check sites like Vouchercloud). It's always popular, well-decorated, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is pleasant. I recommend it for affordable dining.
