|

Just had a fine fine dinner at this wonderful GF restaruant. It is tiny but so wonderfuly delicious. And it is such a happy place because there is a beaming celiac customer at every table. My daughter had pizza, we had the risotto, and the desserts are to die for!
Ahhhhh
PS - I just heard that there is a GF cooking class here in NYC called cooking by the book. I'm going to look for it! _________________ Amy - Mom to two kids, one with Celiac, and assorted pets... |

Ah, I second that!
I *love* this place--every time I have been there, both the people working there as well as the people eating there have been so incredibly nice! Now that the warmer weather is approaching, I'll definitely have to hop the train into the city more often!

Ironically, I'll be at the other side of the continent this summer.
But yes, a road trip to NYC is a must! I'll give you a heads-up Al. _________________ Ostrich :>--O==={

I used to work a few blocks from this place (for almost 2 years). I'd often go there for lunch because I knew it was a safe place to eat. After a little while, I started feeling really bloated after lunch there.
I always blew it off...until recently. Because I now work over 20 blocks from the place, lunch is no longer a viable option. So...I went in after work to treat myself to dinner.
HUGE mistake. I ordered a GF pizza with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce (a pretty ordinary and basic pizza). And all I drank was water. On the train home to Jersey, I started to feel a bit crummy. By the time I got home, I was in so much pain that it hurt to do anything. Honestly, it felt like the very first gluten attack I had. It hurt to stand, it hurt to sit, and it hurt to try to get into bed.
I know my pizza was GF, and I know Risotteria prides themselves in being a celiac-friendly/gluten-free friendly establishment.
I looked at the pizza crust ingredients, and there's really not much in it aside from the usual stuff: yeast, xanthan gum, dry milk powder, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, sugar, and salt.
I'm bummed, but I will not be returning to Risotteria. At least Mozzarelli's is down the street from my office... _________________ ~Torrey
