Maria's Italian Kitchen

I am going out on Valentine's Day to a restaurant called Maria's Italian Kitchen, in Pasadena CA. I am gluten, dairy, soy and egg free. I was wondering if anyone has been there and if so, what did you have?

I think Italian food is the hardest as most of it is based in wheat! I have no idea what to even order....? I don't want to have to just have lettuce, LOL! :lol:;)

Any suggestions for this specific place or Italian in general? Thanks! :)

If you haven't already talked to them, you probably need to do so BEFORE you go tomorrow night. V-Day is super busy for all restaurants....getting information from them tomorrow night might be difficult, even for a "one allergy" person, let alone someone with more than one allergy. I would talk to them today, explain you are coming tomorrow night, and ask what they think you can eat. Ask them to let the manager on duty on Vday that you are coming in, around what time, and what you wil be ordering.

My best bet would be a piece of meat/chicken/fish, with olive oil and basic spices, with steamed veggies/no butter.

Thanks Happygirl! I will call them. I did email them, but I will also call them. I didn't even think about how busy it would be! Thanks again. :)

I just got an email back from them saying:

OUR CHICKEN PRIMAVERA IS MADE WITH CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE.

Please specify that you cannot have butter. although we do not put

butter in this dish).

You can also have our RISOTTO dishes without DAIRY, NO CREAM CHEESE OR

BUTTER ALTHOUGH it WILL NOT TASTE THE SAME.

Amy our chef may make more suggestions for you.

Wow! I'm shocked they emailed me back so quickly! In case anyone is interested! :)

:lol: They're basically telling you you can have risotto but without any risotto ingredients.

Maybe they have polenta. You would just have to get it w/o added cheese.

LOL! I know! But at least I can order the chicken off the menu...not having to ask for them to create something new. I once asked for a plain grilled chicken breast and veggies, and my plate looked so gross! It wasn't all nice and decorated like all the other people's...I was embarassed!

So...at least I can eat the same things as other people! :)

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
