I swoon over pasta. Thank GOD there are gluten-free substitutes. I really don’t know what I would do. So naturally I’d been dying to try RPM Italian, AKA Bill and Giuliana Rancic’s modern Italian restaurant, in River North. RPM, in the Lettuce Entertain You group, has a gluten-free menu. Like, an actual one, not just oh…

Pearl #44: Gluten-free at Chicago’s Pizza
My heart skips a beat thinking about Chicago’s Pizza. Seriously, this place is a refuge for the gluten-free Chicago population. In a town filled with deep dish pizza, a gluten-free gal tends to get a little jealous. I mean, when folks are chowing down on deep dish at Pequod’s…or Lou Malnati’s…or Giordano’s…jealousy is inevitable. Even…
Pearl #41: Gluten-free at Mia Sorella (St. Louis)
When I got the Chicago job offer back in February, my family offered to venture beyond their usual haunts and head out to Town & Country to try out the newish Mia Sorella for a celebration. This sister restaurant of Trattoria Marcella has GREAT gluten-free options, and I had been eagerly waiting to cross this…
Pearl #39: Gluten-free at Favazza’s, St. Louis
Ok, wow, so I heart Favazza’s on The Hill. I had no idea they had a dedicated gluten-free menu, but stumbled across them at the bottom of a very buried Yelp list a while back, gave them a call and knew I had to get there ASAP. They have gluten-free pasta, gluten-free pizza, and gluten-free salads….
Pearl #37: Gluten-free at New Day Gluten Free, Ellisville
For the past couple years, I’ve bought New Day Gluten Free products from the grocery store, but a couple months back, I decided to take the plunge and eat at the Cafe, which is located in Ellisville. It was like finding the Gluten-Free Holy Grail. All of their food is made from scratch in a dedicated…
Pearl #34: Gluten-free at Rigazzi’s on The Hill
Ok. How have I existed as a gluten-free St. Louisan, and NOT known that Rigazzi’s has a gluten-free menu?? My coworker Chris also eats gluten-free, and she clued me in. My mind was blown. I had been there many a time as a child with my family, but never since going gluten-free. So a few…
Pearl #30: Gluten-free at Katie’s Pizza and Pasta
Have you ever been to Katie’s Pizza in Richmond Heights? Awesome atmosphere, adorable decor. But it was a tough spot for the gluten-free gal or gent, with limited gluten-free options. You had to eat a salad (albeit, a delicious one) while the rest of your party nommed on some really awesome-looking pizza. But Katie’s new…
Pearl #22: Gluten-free in Nashville
So. It’s been a while since my last post, my apologies. I have been traveling like a mad-woman, and eating my way through it all. Which means lots of delicious blog posts coming up! Anyways, I went to Nashville a few weeks back on vacation, and totally loved it. How great is it that you…
Pearl #17: Gluten-free at zPizza in Clayton
It’s been a rough week. I’ve got the bronch. Ain’t nobody got time for that. So today, I needed an excursion. I had to get out into the real world, and I was craving some pizza. I’ve driven past zpizza in Clayton a few times but have never stopped in. On a whim I googled…
Pearl #11: Gluten-free Noodles Abound at Pastaria in Clayton
I had been DYING to try the new tastes from Gerard Craft at Pastaria in Clayton. I had promised my boyfriend Ken a meal there for our anniversary back in September, but it took us until December to get there. We went early – I had heard tales of people waiting. We arrived shortly before…
