Bistango In Nyc

So a few of my friends were planning our annual holiday outing together, where we meet in the NYC area and share a meal, drinks, laughter and some gifts. Having just started the gluten free life, i had some concerns about eating out, as some of the places they were suggesting seemed a bit difficult. so i explained the situation to all of them and did a gluten free restaurant search. i found bistango in nyc. reviews were great for all meals including gluten free stuff......

soooo.... it was a great dining experience. i was very uneasy eating out for the first time since going gluten free, but they brought me out a warm, crusty piece of gluten-free italian bread and my own oil for dipping. i had the mahi mahi special for dinner with a pomodoro sauce, sliced olives and capers... and a side of gluten-free pasta tossed with olive oil and garlic. all in all it was a great meal, and the best part for me was that it didn't inconvenience my friends in any way. everyone raved about the food! they were very accommodating and i felt very safe eating there!

i just wanted to share the good news. i left with a huge smile on my face :)

My husband and I went to Bistango this summer. I am gluten free, he is not but we both ordered from the gluten-free selections so that we could share and we both thought everything was excellent.

We want to visit NYC for a weekend soon. How are the prices? I know in New York you pay more than elsewhere, but we also don't want to break the bank.

It's very reasonable (and as everyone else said excellent). I'm not sure where you're from, but by NY standards this is moderately priced.

Agreed, as far as New York is concerned this restaurant is very reasonably priced. That was something we were looking for with this group (aside from gluten free for me). It is definitely a bit cheaper than most Italian restaurants in the city. I highly recommend, and ENJOY!! I'm dying to try Risotteria also, which is supposed to be amazing. Might be somewhere else you'd like to try when you're in NYC.

Good luck and safe travels!

I lived around the corner from Bistango for about 11 years, and was delighted when they started offering Gluten Free. It was one of my favorite local spots before I discovered I was a Celiac.

The restaurant itself is inexpensive by New York City standards, but the Gluten Free Pasta dishes are maybe $3-4 higher, if I recall correctly.

But being able to dine out with non-Celiacs in a real restaurant, a good restaurant, in New York City, was truly priceless.

I love this restaurant. My parents live a block away from it. I loved it before I was gluten free and that they now cater to celiacs is just amazing. Everyone who works there is fantastic. They also have great deserts including this new bar with chocolate and cashews that is amazing. I highly reccommend it

I was told that Bistango is now offering Gluten-Free Pizzas. Can't confirm, but if true, makes it even more of a reason to stop by :D

They do have at least one gluten free pizza at Bistango..I believe it's the Margarita pizza..but they may have more than that. If you want a really great PIZZA place in NYC (gluten free) then you must try Mozzarelli's...they have amazing gluten free pizza! It's near 23rd st. between Park and Madison..They have just as many gluten free pizza options as they do regular pizza options (about 8-10 of each)..which makes it nice, b/c your non celiac friends/family can accompany you, and everyone enjoys! They also have a few gluten free dessert options as well..I had a wonderful tiramisu there :)

      There is no minimum time since diagnosis of refractory coeliac disease to be eligible for this research. The research is a feasibility study for people with refractory coeliac disease since there is currently no psychologically based intervention tailored for refractory coeliac. The aim of this research is to provide therapeutic support that is not routinely offered at gastroenterology clinics thus encourages people to maintain wellbeing in consideration of having symptoms despite a gluten free diet. Hope you gain further clarity and some relief following your endoscopy!

      Is there a minimum time since diagnosis of refractory celiac disease?  I really hope I’m not eligible for your study, but looking for it is one reason my gastroenterologist suggested an endoscopy. I’m having it later this month, due to still having GI symptoms on a strict gluten free diet.

      There's a company called thistle subscription based food completely gluten free plant based. They offer juices, juice shots. I was wondering has anyone made their own juices shots for anti inflammatory gut healthy juices etc?

      If you prepare gluten free and eat  gluten free but feel stomach pains hours later what makes it gluten contamination vs. something else you may have ate etc? anything to differentiate in symptoms? Thanks

      Anyone diagnosed with Refractory Coeliac Disease can participate (they do not need to be in the UK but would need to be able to speak and understand English as the intervention is facilitated in English language)
