Hi All...wanted to share a positive restaurant experience at Arpeggio Restaurant in Spring House, PA. This is in Montgomery County (outside Philly) between Blue Bell and Upper Dublin. My coworkers picked it for an end of year luncheon and I emailed the restaurant ahead of time since I was more than a little concerned. I got a great response and ended up having a great lunch as well. I ordered the seafood kabobs with brown rice and didn't get sick at all!! Check out their menu at www.arpeggiobyob.com. On the menu page they even mention food allergies. I pasted the email I received below in case anyone's interested. Another restaurant to add to the very short list


Please let your server know about your gluten allergy before you order. Our kitchen staff is prepared to handle cooking for those with gluten allergies, as it has become so much more prevalent! I would recommend the brown rice, not the white rice as it is made with vermicelli! Also, anything grilled like the lamb kabob, filet or salmon with no sauce. Please make sure to specify brown rice when you order. We also have a tilapia that is baked; if you order it without the sauce it would be fine, as it is served with spinach sautéed with olive oil and garlic. Please make sure you tell them NO BREAD! The red lentil soup has potato as a thickener, so there is no gluten there either and we have it every day. It is also not creamed or floured in any way. Some of our sauces contain flour, but the marinara of course has no flour. You can sub that for any other sauce in anything! Our menu is fairly specific as to ingredients. I hope this helps you and that you have a great lunch at our restaurant! Please don’t hesitate to contact me again if you have other questions!

Thank you for contacting us!

I am so glad to hear about this place as it less than 10 minutes from me and I would never have considered it. Thanks for posting.

I live very close to this place! I went to Chicago Grill (Unos) on Friday and they have a Gluten-Free menu to give you right as you walk in. I was happy with the choices too.
