I wanted to Thank everyone who turned me on to Risotteria in NYC! What a great place!! :D

We had the mozerella, ham, and asperagus pizza. :P Yum!! I do have to say however that I was looking so forward to having a pizza cooked in a pizza oven. I just knew it would taste like regular pizza and I would know I wasn't missing anything. It's definalty better than homemade, but still not as good as regular. But.......I don't care, it was yummy. We also had a pannini sandwich that was out of this world good! And the carrott cake was nuts great!!! I couldn't believe it. My husband said it was the best carrott cake he's ever had, and I must say I agree! :D

Also, to my great joy.....I had a gluten-free beer. Rampano I think was what it was called. SOOOOOOO good!! :lol: It was sweet, kinda like a cross between a beer and a soda. But the aftertast was definatley beer. I loved it. I think it may be my favorite beer ever. I used to drink Corona but I think I like this better. :)

Again, Thanks to those of you who recomended it!

Wendy

P.S. We ate there 2 out of the 3 days we were in NYC!!!

I'm totally obsessed with Risotteria, and whats even better- i have gotten several of my friends addicted too (none of them are Celiacs) so i get to go even more often! :D

My best friend recently moved away from Manhattan, so I've lost my best reason to go into the city, and therefore to Risotteria. But I think I'm going to go in just to eat there sometime in the next week, and of course I have a freezer full of their pizzas (I buy the frozen cheese ones and add my own toppings at home). But when my friend was there, it was SO great because even though she's not celiac, it became her favorite pizza place in the city. Or so she claimed to me. One of these times I'm going to try something besides pizza. And salad.

I've never had any of their desserts but the cookies and fudgies, so I'm looking forward to trying something else sometime.

I do wish they salted their food a little more. The cookies are excellent (I love the texture especially), but would be better with a little salt to bring out the flavor. Same with the pizzas, though those you can compensate by salting a little at the table. Minor complaint, though.

I was there last week and didn't get to try enough of their food! I had pizza and breadsticks and I wanted the carrot cake but was just too full. I have low blood pressure and use a lot of salt so I agree with the salt thing, I actually had to ask for a salt shaker and my waiter watched me salt up my pizza like I was committing a crime!

But the food was great.

That happened to me, too! I actually asked for the salt for my salad, and then shortly after my pizza arrived the waiter asked for the shaker back! It's like, people! Salt is a flavor enhancer! In salad, it brings out the tanginess of the dressing. In pizza it brings out a range of flavors. In desserts it brings out sweetness and other subtle flavors. It's not a crime!

Seriously, since then I just bring some packets of salt in my purse.

But this is a minor, minor complaint and I'm totally going an hour into the city tomorrow JUST to eat at Risotteria.

I dont think they do it but you could always get a panini instead...or risotto.. i wish they would make more dairy-free stuff though (like soy cheese or something on the pizza)

Where is this place in the city? When I come in, I take NJ transit into Penn Station. I would love to go there. I only live about 40 minutes outside the city and would love to go.

Take the 1 or 2 Train from Penn Station to Christopher Street. It's a few blocks after you get off the subway. I forget the cross streets, but when you get off the subway walk towards Caliente (this large Mexican restaurant on the corner a few blocks up) walk down the same side of the street that Caliente is on and Risotteria will be block or 2 up.

One taste and you'll be addicted!

OMG I'm so full!! We went to Risotteria for lunch today. I ate an entire pizza, a ton of breadsticks, a meatball and I brought a cookie back to work which I just polished off. I think someone is going to need to roll me home tonight!

jen- not sure what exhibits will be around that time, but will let you know as it gets closer... If you are looking to save a few $, the MOMA has free admission on friday afternoons- but you will have to get there early as the line obviously gets pretty long...But the MOMA is awesome. If its nice out while you are here, its always fun to spend some time in the park- theres always stuff to do there and its free :)

I cant think of anything else right now but remind me as it gets closer, im sure i can come up w/ some more ideas for you. (and obviously you know you should go to Risotteria at least once a day, right :P )

You can also take the A C or E from Penn Station to West 4th Street. Risotteria is 270 Bleecker Street, at Cornelia Street I think.

Heck yeah once a day!! I think my mom is concerned that we are going to be running all over the city all day going from one gluten-free menu to another!!!! I am making up a spreedsheet with all the names, info, addresses of restaurants I want to go to--so I'll be very organized :)

MOMA is definitely on the list...thnx for the admission tip. I'd love any more ideas once you hear of things going on that weekend. Anything interesting or good restaurants in Brooklyn? I think we are going to church at Brooklyn Tabernacle on Sunday...

I think there's also some sort of gluten-free, veggie restaurant thing... Kristina (Mysuicidalturtle) went to a restaurant when she was in NY, which I believe was in Brooklyn... you should ask her about it, I don't remember its name, nor have I been to it.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
