GF Long Island -- Mama's Italian Restaurant, December 18, 2008

Restaurant is completely and irrevocably gluten free. The owner is completely amazing and extremely well-versed and accommodating in the gluten free world. He created the SAME 6-page traditional italian menu for Gluten Free visitors. Try Chicken Parmigiana, pasta with sauces, french fries and oh by the way, don't forget to sample the multitude of desserts on the menu including (and yes, this is not a typo), the cannolis. Truly amazing. Owner always looking for comments and he will go out of his way to make sure anyone is accommodated. The best meal option in the area. Consumers can't tell the difference between the GF meals and non. He has a seperate kitchen, silverware, plates and Oh, how great is this..., seperate napkins. Truly, truly a gem. Next time you're in the mood to go to a traditional pizza joint with a restaurant, don't hesitate. Prices are fair...Alcohol is a bit expensive but where else will you have more than 4 options for Gluten Free beer while enjoying a gluten free pizza (I think the pizza alone is limited to certain days but everything else is 24/7)..?

There was an article in the New York Times about this restaurant so we decided to give it a try. It is a neighbood pizza parlor and restaurant about a 30 minute drive from our house. When I asked for their gluten free menu I was wonderfully surprised to see that there were 4 pages of gluten free items. This restaurant serves dishes I never thought I would be able to eat away from home again: Fried calamari, eggplant rollitini, veal parmagiana and various pasta dishes for example. The food is scrumptious. The red sauce is superb. It is made with tomatoes imported from Italy. The first time we went I was very surprised when they served me a slice of warm bread. It was the first time I was served bread at a restaurant since my diagnosis with Celiac Disease in June. The bread is baked on the premises. It is delicious. I am hoping they will sell loaves in the future. Among the gluten free desserts is a canoli with homemade filling. Yummy! My husband enjoys the food on the standard menu so much he loves to eat at Mama's also. John, the owner started cooking some GF dishes for a friend. As the word spread and the demand grew he expanded the menu. He has separate cooking facilities for the gluten free menu items. John has invested much time and effort into creating this wonderful gluten free menu because he cares. The gluten free dishes are a little more expensive but well worth it.

Considering this was our first experience with a gluten free restaurant, John was very helpful in our experience. He actually took the time out to sit with my son and I and showed us the items that we should be ordering.

GF Italian at it's Best!, April 04, 2008

Mama's is a cozy family-style Italian restaurant well known in the area. They have a large gf menu and are meticulous with preparation and serving. They bake their own bread, serve gf pizza two days a week, have gf pasta with meals, cannolis and desserts. Portions are generous-enough for more than one meal. The owners are great and the serving staff is attentive. If you are in the area dining here is an experience you will not soon forget!
