I was recently told that a CA/AZ pasta chain called Pasta Pomodoro
www.pastapomodoro.com <http://www.pastapomodoro.com/> has gluten-free
pasta on their menu. We stopped in on the fly for lunch one afternoon. The
staff was basically clueless. We did end up eating there; my daughter had
GF pasta with Pomodoro Sauce (tomato, basil, garlic, olive oil) and some
grilled chicken. I e-mailed the restaurant HQ when I returned home,
praising them for having GF pasta but asking if they could train their
kitchen and wait-staff like Outback and PF Chang's do. I received a very
detailed ingredient list of all menu items, in which there are many GF
possibilities including salads, soups and even a dessert. I just worry the
staff is not educated enough to ease my fears. Two other strange things,
the person from HQ who replied to my e-mail stated that their GF pasta is
not cooked in fresh water unless you specifically ask. The restaurant calls
their GF pasta "Low-gluten High-protein" maybe it's because they don't use
fresh water for cooking. It is GF though; the restaurant gets it from
www.adriennes.com/pasta.htm . Anyone have ideas on how we can positively
encourage them to train the staff and publish a small GF menu?
