GREAT GF eating in Toronto
- By Pete Jeno
- Published 12/12/2007
IL FORNELLO - It's a chain in Canada, and it's amazing in what they offer. Was in Toronto this Spring for 5 days, and ate there 4 times. Delicious gourmet GF PIZZA (see pic) - thin crust, cooked in the stone pizza oven on A SEPARATE PAN. (the rest of the pizzas go straight on the stone.) It was delicious. They say they have a steady stream of celiac customers. I can't remember, I dont think it was a separate menu, but rather a notation that all pasta and pizza items can be made GF.. Anyhow, great place. Love to see this kind of care and focus happen in the US. (This is my first post, so hope this is useful)

There are a slew of great toppings to choose from I am on The Specific Carbohydrate Diet which is Gluten Free but does not include much store bought convenience food. We are not dairy free but must be sure cheese us aged at least thirty days so it is lactose free. Eight years on SCD has made me a fast and fantastic cook. I gave a cooking course at Loblaws with the two co-authors of the Cookbook Grain-Free Gourmet |
