Gluten Free Pasta Restaurant in Melbourne: A Kitchen Built to Adjust

Finding a gluten free pasta restaurant in Melbourne often means settling for one safe dish on the menu. Rick’s Place, in Kensington, has tried to build more flexibility than that into daily cooking.

Gluten free, Coeliac safe

Halal Certified

Vegan Options Available

Our Process, From Order to Plate 

Rather than offering a single gluten free pasta option, we cook everything fresh once you order. That means our kitchen can adjust a wider range of dishes based on what you tell us. 

Coeliac orders use separate fryers and blanching pots, which helps reduce cross contact during preparation. Daily stock shopping also keeps ingredients fresher and gives us more control over what goes into each plate. 

Steps We Take for Every Gluten Free Order 

Consistency matters more than a single safe dish on the menu. 

  • Flag your requirement when booking or ordering 
  • Kitchen team plans the dish using dedicated equipment 
  • Ingredients checked before cooking begins 
  • Dish cooked fresh and served directly to you 

This process applies whether you’re dining in, ordering takeaway, or booking delivery. 

Wider Dietary Care Beyond Pasta  Gluten free pasta is one part of a broader approach to dietary needs at Rick’s Place. 
  • Coeliac diners, with dedicated fryers and blanching pots 
  • Halal certified meat and poultry, with no wine used in sauces 
  • Low FODMAP and lower carb dishes 
  • Vegetarian and vegan options through our vegan menu 
Let our team know your needs, no matter how you choose to order.  The Full Menu  Have a look through our menu to see what else is on offer beyond pasta, and ask about adjustments for your specific needs.  Ways to Enjoy Your Meal

Love going to Rick’s Restaurant, very welcoming and warm. The food is delicious, with refreshing drinks. Very nice design and spacious. It’s a local, easy to get to Italian restaurant in Kensington.

Our mains, Lamb shank and Surf n Turf, not only looked beautiful but were delicious. The wine selection is also great, matching the different dishes on the menu.
