A growing number of today’s diners must avoid gluten — a protein found in wheat, barley and rye — due to celiac disease and other debilitating allergies
In response, the following restaurants have received specialized training from the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness and have made a commitment to include gluten-free dishes on their menus.
With such esteemed restaurants as Amada and Osteria participating, a gluten-free diet doesn’t mean you have to miss out on great cuisine.
As always, you should call your restaurant of choice prior to your meal to confirm that their menu suits your dietary needs.
