They do not have a gluten free menu, per se, but will work with you to do anything you wish". ". As of 10/26/05, they have GF pasta available. "Friday night we went to Maggianos for a special dinner. It was probably the best experience ever with a gluten free diet and a restaurant. The waiter sent a chef out to speak with my husband and made him a pasta dish. I then asked what kind of pasta they use and they brought out a bag for us to see. The brand is Felicia and it is a product of Italy. They also altered the mussels so Denny could eat them-changed the broth and they were wonderful with a parmesan broth, white beans and pieces of sun dried tomato. When we got ready to leave the waiter brought a bag of the uncooked pasta and told us it was compliments of the chef. I would highly recommend this restaurant." Be sure to make reservations in advance. 1/06 WARNING: While the majority of us have enjoyed our dinners at Maggianos, several have complained of getting reactions. 2/06

Melting Pot: 6683 Delmar Blvd., 63130 725-4141. There is a second location in Chesterfield at Lamp and Lantern Village; however, comments were from those who ate in the U. City location. "Yes I have eaten there and it is one of my favorites. They are very accommodating and I didn’t even call ahead. The cheese fondue is made with flour but they can make it without flour for you and they do it right at your table so you watch everything that they put it in. I actually like it better without the flour. Their oils - you can ask for different ones as well and they will use whatever you can have. And some of their chocolate fondues are just straight chocolate so you can have that as well. I love this place. It was amazing, it just so happened that we had the same waitress 2x in a row and it was about 6 months between visits. But she remembered exactly who we were and what I could and could not have. Her name was Meredith and she works at the one in U City. Not sure if she is still there as it has been about a year since I have gone but she is great! For the Cheese fondue they serve bread (which obviously we did not use) and veggies and fruit. The apples and carrots are my favorite to use! as for the entree, they serve veggies and meat, poultry and seafood. Chocolate fondue - fruit and pound cake (once again, we just used the fruit). I did not need to bring any crackers or bread with me. Its a four course meal if you order the Fondue for two. Its Cheese fondue, salad, Entree fondue, and Chocolate fondue. Drink lots of water and don’t bother to have wine or anything because you will not be able to finish it" Menu online at www.meltingpot.com 11/05
