La Piazza In Nutley & Little Falls Nj ?

I stumbled across a listing for La Piazza on NJ.com - "gluten-free" was one of its "cuisine types" listed! That restaurant is right by my house (I'm in Clifton) so I called and was told they offer a gluten-free penne pasta. The guy on the phone didn't sound like he knew much about it (and I was calling from work) so I didn't grill him for details.

Has anyone eaten at La Piazza? Are they well-trained ?? :) Apparently they have two branches - if you have eaten there, which one did you go to?

I'm excited, bc in my pre-Gluten-free Casein-free days we liked Casa Turano, which is the casual "pizza joint" branch of the restaurant right next door. It'd be awesome to have one or both of those as a quick-dinner option near home.

Had a chance to check out LaPiazza in Nutley on Monday night. I had the linguine w red clam sauce made with the gluten-free penne. It was delicious, and the texture of the pasta was perfect. I was pleased to see the clams were served in their shells, not canned. It's not a dish I usually order so i can't compare it to other places, but I just couldn't get enough of the sauce. I actually cleaned my plate for once!

The service was a little... laid-back. It was a monday night, so I don't know if maybe the usual waitstaff wasn't around - seemed like the manager was the waiter. Honestly, I didn't grill him extensively (as I should have) about the food's gluten-free-ness, and I can't really comment on whether I reacted to it, because I was already reacting to something I'd eaten on the weekend. :P But I will be back again at some point, and hope to hear from anyone else who's eaten there.

      @Heatherisle, You have good reason to worry. Ask the doctors to do an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to test for Thiamine B1 deficiency. Thiamine deficiency is frequently found in B12 deficiency. Deficiencies in all the B vitamins are common with malabsorption due to Celiac disease. Thiamine can run out in as little as three days...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Just an update on my daughter. She is still in hospital and getting quite depressed about everything. She had a CT scan of head and chest to rule out stroke in view of her symptoms. Thankfully there is no evidence of that so they now want to do an MRI to rule out MS so this is freaking her out and it’s not doing me much good either!!!They’re also going to ...

      celiac disease and braces

      Your concerns are reasonable about the celiac risk aspect, and getting additional medical input is a good idea. Obviously I don't know the extent of your child's misalignment, but please don't think of it as just a cosmetic issue. Braces improve bite alignment and typically provide long term health benefits.

      @Heatherisle, You have good reason to worry.   Ask the doctors to do an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to test for Thiamine B1 deficiency.  Thiamine deficiency is frequently found in B12 deficiency.  Deficiencies in all the B vitamins are common with malabsorption due to Celiac disease.  Thiamine can run out in as little as three days.   Thiamine deficiency symptoms can be mistaken for other diseases such as MS and Guillian-Barre Syndrome.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms include pain in legs and abdominal pain as well as depression and gastrointestinal symptoms. Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B 12 together relieve nerve pain.

Thankfully there is no evidence of that so they now want to do an MRI to rule out MS so this is freaking her out and it’s not doing me much good either!!!They’re also going to do further blood tests to check vitamin levels. My husband and I are trying to reassure her the best we can that hopefully it’s just her body’s reaction to having the Vitamin B medication and it’s affecting her nervous system etc. Think the tingling has subsided but still having some lower back and pelvic pain and some leg pain. Thanks for reading and my apologies if I sound paranoid.
