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!!!

Went there last night!! I LOOOVE the carrot cake. and the breadsticks are amazing. Yesterday i had the brownie- tasted like a blondie- SOOOO good!!!

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!

hey nyorkers.... any good stuff going on city--exhibits etc? free or cheap stuff? my mom have some shows etc booked, but want some good activity ideas from the locals. we are going at end of month--25-29th.

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.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful.

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.
