Carmine's In Nyc

[lapetit8]

Hi,

I'm going with some people to the restaurant, Carmine's, in nyc. Has anyone been there before and knows of anything that is gluten free on their menu?

Thanks.

Are you going to the one on I don't remember, 43rd, 44th St.?

Was there 6 years ago (pre gluten-free situation). They serve food "family style". I'd call them before going there and see what they say. they are not a chain like Outback or Olive Garden.

Yes, I'm going to the one in the theatre district...I think it's on 44th. I looked at their website where you can see the ingredients listed in each of their entrees. There are a few things that look gluten free but I'll have to ask about the "Chicken Broth" to see if it is "real" chicken broth or bouillon.

Ok, just for anyone who is interested...

I went to Carmine's the other night (the one in the theatre district) and the waiter told me that ALL of their items contain gluten. The items that do not say they are "breaded" are covered in flour. However, our waiter was very aware of Celiac Disease and spoke with the chef about it and made me plain grilled chicken with fresh lemon juice as the sauce. Even though it was very plain, I thought it was pretty good. I didn't have dessert even though the chocolate cake and cheesecake were supposedly fine since they were "flourless," I still wasn't so sure so I avoided them. They did have a fruit plate for dessert, though.
