Lumi (nyc)

We went to Lumi last night for dinner, which is part of the gluten free restaurant program. For those that live in NY or anyone who plans on visiting this is a must go to. The food was incredible!!! I was debating whether to get the pasta because I've ordered gluten-free pasta in some of the restaurants that offer it and it wasn't very good. I didn't really want to order it and then be disappointed or even order it and have it taste like my same Tinkyada that I make myself at home. Fortunately they offer it so you can order any of the main pasta dishes as an appetizer portion so I figured I'd do that and then get lamb chops for an entree, so even if I didn't like the pasta I still had a main dish I was guaranteed to enjoy. I got a pasta that had shrimp, asparagus and tomatoes. The sauce was a bit like a wine sauce with garlic. OMG.. this was the best pasta I've ever had - even before being gluten-free!!! The entire meal was great and the service was phenominal.

Lumi is a must!!!

It's an Italian restaurant in NYC. They don't have their gluten-free menu online, but trust me when I tell you it's incredible. Valdo the maitre'd had e-mailed me a copy of it when we made our reservation.

I just went there last night. The best!

First off, the gluten-free menu is an actual menu with prices on it and everything. It's not one of those dusty laminated sheets that they hand you reluctantly after you've asked for it four times and called ahead etc.! And at first I was going to ask them if this was truly the gluten free menu because there were so many options and there wasn't a big honking "GLUTEN FREE MENU" title at the top. But then when I looked closely at the pasta section, it's noted that the pastas served are rice pastas etc.

It's just a really really nice place. It's not a chain. It's comfortable and pretty and it doesn't seem like the sort of place that would have a gluten-free menu...if you catch my drift. But then all of the food was delicious -- I had an appetizer portion of a seafood pasta that was to die for! -- and fourteen hours later, I'm still symptom-free!

So thanks, Jillian, for recommending this place. I never would have tried it otherwise because they're kind of low profile.

I'm going to be in NYC next month and would like to try it, can you give a physical address for it because the website link isn't working for me.

Thank you, Susan

The address is 963 Lexington Avenue. They are on the corner of Lexington and 71st street. It's only a few blocks from the 4,5,6 train which makes it really easy to get to.

I would say it depends what your idea of a bachleorette party is. If you're the type that just wants to hang with a few girlfriends, have some wine, good food and a nice atmosphere to gossip... then yes.

If you are looking for a crazy, loud restaurant where you can act inappropriate (lol) and just do whatever you want and wear a feather boa... NO!

Is it your bachleorette party?

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By NoriTori · Posted

      @Scott Adams  Sure, Any and all information is welcome. Also the only was to convince my family to get tested is to get tested myself and conclusive answers. Very stubborn lot.

      Understood. It's very anxiety-provoking when you don't know what you are dealing with and don't know if you are attacking it correctly.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      I have heard of NCGS, but everything is just so confusing!!! Just unsure of things as her EMA test was negative but TTG was positive @19u/ml(lab range 0.0-7.0).Apparently she also has occasional bubble like blisters in between her fingers, don’t know if that’s significant. She is triallling gluten free as suggested by the gastroenterologist after her endoscopy. Keep getting different answers when typing in her symptoms etc. Some sites say it can be possible to have coeliac, even with a negative EMA . It’s so frustrating and her anxiety levels are through the roof. I know she’s hoping it’s coeliac which is weird I know!!! But if it’s not it just means more tests. Sorry to ramble on!!!

      Rice Flakes

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I ame looking for rice flakes that aren't cross contaminated to use in making oat free granola. Does anyone know of a brand? Also I see that some people just used puffed rice cereal, but it seems like that wouldn't be sturdy enough to withstand the mixing without crumbling. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There isn't because there is currently no gluten-free labeling requirement for prescription medications. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
