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?

Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
