I was a little hesitant about eating here after I had read mixed reviews on the boards. I went there with my husband last night and it was fantastic. Not only was the food terrific but it was the first time in as long as I can remember that I did not get sick from eating out while still being able to have a normal meal (I went to the Legal Seafood near my apt and ordered off of the gluten-free menu and although I did not get sick the food was awful and I got sick from the Outback gluten-free menu). The owner, Joanne, is a celiac and was incredibly friendly and helpful. She bakes her own gluten-free bread which is quite good. I know someone on the board had mentioned getting sick there. I can tell everyone what I ordered off of the gluten-free menu. I got mozzerella sticks (better than most non-gluten-free that I have had) and veal parm. My husband is not a celiac and he loved the food as well. I had it for lunch again today since there was alot left over and I still feel fine.

I ate there last night too. I had the chicken parm and they made me gluten-free eggplant rolatini. My husband who does not have celiac couldn't tell the difference. We are actually ordering some trays for the holidays from them. Joann served us last night. She is very nice. She was diagnosed over twenty years ago. Another great experience.

I have been best friends with Joann's daughter, Christina, for 13 years. I never really appreciated the restuarant in the past. I had eaten there a few times with Christina to get some free meals... but now.. I've been diagnosed through blood work with celiac and had my biopsy last Thurs. I find out my results next Thurs. I am pretty confident the results will be positive for celiac. I am so lucky to have cafe baldo 5 minutes away from my house owned by a family I've known for so long. It's just ironic because when I would go over her house... Joann would be baking for the resturant.. and I would think... "that must suck to be celiac" and now its me. But it's true.. you can't tell the gluten free food at cafe baldo from regular food.

      Not officially diagnosed yet I goto the doctor a week from today but I'm 110% that will be the diagnosis I honestly can't believe my doctors/health care team hasn't put it together before I mean I'm basically the live and walking definition straight from the book haha I don't think I've ever been so sure on anything before I'm just reqly concerned for this diet I will be living on or diets I guess due to type 1 diabetes, gastroparesis, gerd, celiac disease, and lactose intolerance...what is left? A sand salad with a side of rain water?!? I definitely see a tough future

      Welcome to the forum, @Tlbaked13! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? It is well-known that celiac disease can result in peripheral neuropathy but so can diabetes.

      Lactic acid bacteria start to develop as soon as flour and water are mixed, so I assumed that in a yeast dough with long proofing time there could be some effect of fermentation and gluten break down.

      I am COMPLETELY new to this celiac disease however I have had the same feelings and then some with my feet for years now and been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy myself but they blamed and attempted to treat due from my type 1 diabetes and none of the treatment has helped at all so far so possible from celiac disease? Just sharing MY thoughts on this I've had zero confirmation

      I've not heard of the DNA test I will definitely look into that. And I did not know that the neuropathy was symptoms of vitamin deficiency. I have been trying to get on a good vitamin regimen. Thank you!
