Why FODMAP Dining Gets Complicated 

Onion, garlic, and certain sauces show up constantly in Italian cooking, and they’re common FODMAP triggers. That makes eating out tricky, even when a menu looks harmless at first glance. 

  • Onion and garlic used as a base in many sauces 
  • Wheat based pasta, another common trigger 
  • Rich, creamy sauces that can be hard to digest 

We cook everything fresh once you order, giving us the flexibility to leave ingredients out where needed. 

How We Handle Your Order 

A low FODMAP meal starts with a simple conversation, not guesswork. 

Tell Us Your Triggers 

Let our team know what affects you when you book, order online, or arrive for dine-in. 

We Adjust the Dish, Not Just the Label 

Since nothing is pre-made, our kitchen can swap or remove ingredients properly, rather than offering one fixed option. 

Wider Dietary Care at Rick’s Place 

Low FODMAP needs sit alongside a broader approach to dietary care. 
  • Coeliac diners, with dedicated fryers and blanching pots 
  • Halal certified meat and poultry, with no wine used in sauces 
  • Lower carb dishes for those watching intake 
  • Vegetarian and vegan options through our vegan menu
