I found an italian restaurant in Aptos that serves gluten free pasta and has two gluten free desserts!!

I haven't eaten there yet (might be going tonight), but I thought I would mention it.

Their website is www.al-boccalino.com. I spoke with the chef and he said it is helpful if those needing to eat gluten free could call ahead.

I just discovered that I'm gluten intolerant. I haven't eaten out in about two months, and I am so excited that I'll be able to. :D

Sounds good to me! I haven't eaten at an Italian restaurant since going gluten free about 4 years ago! I would like to have another option of places to eat when I visit my family that live in Santa Cruz, we usually end up with either steak or grilled chicken, but that gets old fast...

Can you double check that ALL of their sauces are gluten free when you eat there. Their menu on their website says that any of their pasta dishes can be made with the gluten free pasta, and they clearly label the two desserts as gluten free, but it doesn't say anything aobut whether the sauces are safe or not. I really want to try the custard dessert, it looks really yummy! :D

We didn't end up going out to dinner last night, but I'll definitely be trying out this place soon. I will ask about the sauces when I do go, and will post about it here.

Thanks for posting! I'll have to check it out the next time I'm down there.

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      Thank you so much for your help, @trents and @Staticgypsy! I so appreciate your thoughts. My diet is high in foods with oxalates and I don’t notice any issues there. If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was man...

I am and wish I wasn't. If there was a detector of gluten in the air it would make a world of difference.

If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was many years into gluten-free eating (and was much more careful at that point), I’m just baffled. Many, many thanks to you both.
