Tonight after work, I stopped by Da Luciano's. It's a largely gluten-free restaurant located in River Grove, Ill. that offers both in-house service as well as take-out options. The restaurant has an extensive gluten-free menu, and can accommodate dairy-free palates, too. With celiac disease in their family, the proprietors completely understand the concerns of those on a gluten-free diet.
The restaurant has the most extensive gluten-free menu that I've seen yet. With everything from fried calamari and bruschetta, to pasta arrabiata and chicken cacciatore, to homemade cannoli, Italian food is once again a possibility for the gluten-free. And, gasp of delight, if you call a couple days ahead of time, they can do gnocchi, too. The frozen food to go menu includes items like sauces, breads, desserts and more.
I wasn't planning on dining in, so I bought a couple sauces to try, a tomato and a meat sauce, as well as a few different types of pasta. Da Luciano's sells Zazzeri Pienza pasta, a gf corn-based dry pasta from Italy. I got anellini and ditalini, both of which I'm looking forward to using in soups, and maccheroni, which I'll try with the meat sauce.
Be sure to check them out: www.dalucianos.com. I can't wait to go back soon and dine in!
