At one point he offered us bread, again, and I had to tell him ‘no, it’s a serious gluten issue.’ ‘So, no bread,’ he asked. He was quick to pop back to the kitchen to check that certain dishes were gf, but I had to keep reminding him that we were gluten free.

Our server said that any of the pastas could be made gluten free (spaghetti or penne noodles). They didn’t have a separate Gluten Free menu, but the hostess said to talk to our server and they’d be able to direct us. I contacted the restaurant and they replied right away that they did have plenty of gluten free options. I started scrolling through Google Maps searching for ‘ gluten free’ and Caffe Andiamo popped up in one comment. There are lots of gluten free options where we live, but we have this one area that doesn’t have many places that I’m wild about. I love being able to read others’ reviews before I put my own tummy on the line. Usually I find new restaurants on the Find Me Gluten Free app.

Having food allergies/intolerances can make trying new restaurants unnerving, but it does certainly force us off the beaten track of chain restaurants and fast food. We made it one of our 2020 goals to get out and try more new things. Netflix and delivery became too tempting. For a while Thursdays were Date Night… then work got super busy (yay!) and by the time we’d stumble home in the evenings we’d be exhausted and dirty and not really interested in going to all the effort of getting cleaned up AND presentable and then going back out into public.
