I wanted to Thank everyone who turned me on to Risotteria in NYC! What a great place!! :D

We had the mozerella, ham, and asperagus pizza. :P Yum!! I do have to say however that I was looking so forward to having a pizza cooked in a pizza oven. I just knew it would taste like regular pizza and I would know I wasn't missing anything. It's definalty better than homemade, but still not as good as regular. But.......I don't care, it was yummy. We also had a pannini sandwich that was out of this world good! And the carrott cake was nuts great!!! I couldn't believe it. My husband said it was the best carrott cake he's ever had, and I must say I agree! :D

Also, to my great joy.....I had a gluten-free beer. Rampano I think was what it was called. SOOOOOOO good!! :lol: It was sweet, kinda like a cross between a beer and a soda. But the aftertast was definatley beer. I loved it. I think it may be my favorite beer ever. I used to drink Corona but I think I like this better. :)

Again, Thanks to those of you who recomended it!

Wendy

P.S. We ate there 2 out of the 3 days we were in NYC!!!

Went there last night!! I LOOOVE the carrot cake. and the breadsticks are amazing. Yesterday i had the brownie- tasted like a blondie- SOOOO good!!!

I'm totally obsessed with Risotteria, and whats even better- i have gotten several of my friends addicted too (none of them are Celiacs) so i get to go even more often! :D

My best friend recently moved away from Manhattan, so I've lost my best reason to go into the city, and therefore to Risotteria. But I think I'm going to go in just to eat there sometime in the next week, and of course I have a freezer full of their pizzas (I buy the frozen cheese ones and add my own toppings at home). But when my friend was there, it was SO great because even though she's not celiac, it became her favorite pizza place in the city. Or so she claimed to me. One of these times I'm going to try something besides pizza. And salad.

I've never had any of their desserts but the cookies and fudgies, so I'm looking forward to trying something else sometime.

I do wish they salted their food a little more. The cookies are excellent (I love the texture especially), but would be better with a little salt to bring out the flavor. Same with the pizzas, though those you can compensate by salting a little at the table. Minor complaint, though.

I was there last week and didn't get to try enough of their food! I had pizza and breadsticks and I wanted the carrot cake but was just too full. I have low blood pressure and use a lot of salt so I agree with the salt thing, I actually had to ask for a salt shaker and my waiter watched me salt up my pizza like I was committing a crime!

But the food was great.

That happened to me, too! I actually asked for the salt for my salad, and then shortly after my pizza arrived the waiter asked for the shaker back! It's like, people! Salt is a flavor enhancer! In salad, it brings out the tanginess of the dressing. In pizza it brings out a range of flavors. In desserts it brings out sweetness and other subtle flavors. It's not a crime!

Seriously, since then I just bring some packets of salt in my purse.

But this is a minor, minor complaint and I'm totally going an hour into the city tomorrow JUST to eat at Risotteria.

I dont think they do it but you could always get a panini instead...or risotto.. i wish they would make more dairy-free stuff though (like soy cheese or something on the pizza)

Where is this place in the city? When I come in, I take NJ transit into Penn Station. I would love to go there. I only live about 40 minutes outside the city and would love to go.

Take the 1 or 2 Train from Penn Station to Christopher Street. It's a few blocks after you get off the subway. I forget the cross streets, but when you get off the subway walk towards Caliente (this large Mexican restaurant on the corner a few blocks up) walk down the same side of the street that Caliente is on and Risotteria will be block or 2 up.

One taste and you'll be addicted!

OMG I'm so full!! We went to Risotteria for lunch today. I ate an entire pizza, a ton of breadsticks, a meatball and I brought a cookie back to work which I just polished off. I think someone is going to need to roll me home tonight!

jen- not sure what exhibits will be around that time, but will let you know as it gets closer... If you are looking to save a few $, the MOMA has free admission on friday afternoons- but you will have to get there early as the line obviously gets pretty long...But the MOMA is awesome. If its nice out while you are here, its always fun to spend some time in the park- theres always stuff to do there and its free :)

I cant think of anything else right now but remind me as it gets closer, im sure i can come up w/ some more ideas for you. (and obviously you know you should go to Risotteria at least once a day, right :P )

You can also take the A C or E from Penn Station to West 4th Street. Risotteria is 270 Bleecker Street, at Cornelia Street I think.

Heck yeah once a day!! I think my mom is concerned that we are going to be running all over the city all day going from one gluten-free menu to another!!!! I am making up a spreedsheet with all the names, info, addresses of restaurants I want to go to--so I'll be very organized :)

MOMA is definitely on the list...thnx for the admission tip. I'd love any more ideas once you hear of things going on that weekend. Anything interesting or good restaurants in Brooklyn? I think we are going to church at Brooklyn Tabernacle on Sunday...

I think there's also some sort of gluten-free, veggie restaurant thing... Kristina (Mysuicidalturtle) went to a restaurant when she was in NY, which I believe was in Brooklyn... you should ask her about it, I don't remember its name, nor have I been to it.

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
