REVIEW: Carluccio's

I have found that Italian restaurants are great at catering for coeliacs, which is good news for us, especially if your first thoughts were "what, no more pizza?!" when you were diagnosed. There are several mainstream Italian eateries that now have dedicated gluten free menus, or at least offer some gluten free options on their main menus.

Carluccio's restaurant in Liverpool

Owned by TV chef, Antonio Carluccio, the menu boasts delicious and traditional Italian food and has it's own separate gluten-free menu, including starters and desserts. Take a look at the menu here

Carluccio's also have a little deli style shop in their restaurants where you can purchase the authentic Italian gluten-free pasta. Their pasta is without a doubt my favourite and I always purchase another bag when I eat here! Their Cioccolato Fondente from the dessert menu is beautiful - "A warm chocolate pudding baked with almonds and Kahlua and served with vanilla ice cream." It is very rich, but definitely worth saving room for.
