Yesterday afternoon, my family and I traveled to New York City to celebrate New Years Day at Pala`, a delicious restaurant with an array of gluten-free options, located on Allen Street. Pala` has proved to be not only one of the best tasting gluten-free restaurants, but one of the most conscious ones that I have encountered. Both the waitstaff and kitchen staff are well versed in the care that must be taken in order to ensure that there is no threat of cross-contamination. Our pizza was delivered on a serving board clearly labeled gluten-free, and a dedicated fryer is used when accommodating gluten-free customers. Our appetizers included a proscuitto dish (naturally gluten-free), and potato croquettes, which were breaded in gluten-free breadcrumbs, and fried. For the main courses, I ordered bucatini alla matriciana, a pasta dish complete with pancetta and a spicy tomato sauce, and stole a piece of the gluten-free Inferno pizza from my family. For dessert, I enjoyed a flour-less chocolate cake! I highly recommend Pala` to any celiac visiting New York City because of the level of care that is put into creating both a delicious and safe gluten-free menu.
