Il Fornetto Restaurant In Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn, Ny

I've been to this restaurant before finding out I had celiac disease and it was always very good. When I went to a celiac disease walk in Long Island, NY, I purchased a raffle ticket and tried to win a $100 gift card to Il Fornetto. And I won!!! So I just went there last night and have only excellent things to say about them. The owner Angelo met with me and spoke with me before, during, and after my dinner and he is so kind and so willing to accomodate gluten free needs. He made sure to oversee everything that was done in the kitchen. He read my Triumph dining cards that I let him borrow in English and Italian and he made copies of them to keep on hand. I will say that the owner does not know everything there is to know about being gluten free but you just ask what the ingredients are and how you want your food prepared and your wish is their command. They are so willing to make everything perfect and healthy for you, no odd looks or inconvenienced feeling. He actually asked me what products he should purchase to make it easier for celiacs to eat more things off the menu and I told him gluten-free pizza dough, breadcrumbs, and pasta. I forgot to mention rice flour to thicken sauces. I liked how he was very interested in learning about where gluten hides and that he wants to purchase products. we received excellent service and did not order dessert, but they brought a delicious fresh fruit tray on the house. My food was cooked to perfection and everything came exactly how I asked for it. I definitely recommend this restaurant. Angelo and his waitstaff make you feel special and offer excellent service. Just remember to explain how you want your food prepared because this restaurant does not yet have gluten free dinner specials and they are still in the learning process. You must understand that before you go. The great part is they are willing to accomodate you 100%. Hopefully he will order some of the things I mentioned because they do have a large pizza and pasta selection that would be worthless to us otherwise. If you go, tell them Michelle that won the gift card recommended you there. =) Thanks! And enjoy!

Michelle

      You had the wrong link to the menu, so I fixed that for you 😉. Trying to eat gluten-free at Chili's is risky due to cross-contamination, even if you go with items marked gluten-free on their menu. Every person with celiac disease has a different level of sensitivity, and you've not mentioned anything about your situation in that regard. Whenever I eat out I take GliadinX (a sponsor here), but of course, the best option would be to avoid eating out.

      She has had problems with constipation, they actually prescribed miralax for her but I have changed some other things about her diet that seemed to have helped, so I never gave it to her..but she still doesn’t always go daily

      @Nicbent35, are there any other symptoms besides altered mood when your daughter gets "glutened"? Behavior like that in children often belies physical discomfort of some kind. Does she complain of stomach aches? Is she constipated?

      Well I had a moment yesterday morning where I accidentally gave her gluten. She wanted what I was eating and I forgot and let her have a few bites of toast. It was a really bad night last night with her behavior. Will a few bites of bread influence their behavior that much or could it just be a coincidence?

      Hi everyone, I'm exploring gluten-free options at various restaurants and recently came across some chatter about Chili's offering gluten-free dishes. I'm curious if anyone has tried their gluten-free options or has any insights into how safe and tasty they are. Questions to Discuss: Which dishes at Chili's are truly gluten-free? Have you experienced any issues with cross-contamination? Do you have any tips or recommendations when ordering from Chili's menu? How does the taste and portion size compare to other gluten-free restaurants? Looking forward to hearing your experiences and any advice you might have! Thanks,
