10Best Says

Many authentic Italian dishes are innately gluten free, at dante the menu incorporates the traditions of fine Italian cooking into all of its dishes, including the seasonal gluten free menu that falls in line with regular menu offerings. The menu at dante starts with sfizi; these little tastes of antipasti designed to be shared at the start of your meal, or combined to create a full meal. Some return customer favorite sfizi are: fava bean dip with potato, beet and celery root chips, and baked ricotta with apricot, pistachio, pomodorini, Sicilian oregano. Although known for his house made pasta program, Dante de Magistris is still mastering making gluten free pasta; in the meantime, he imports a special variety from Puglia that is made with 3 grains.
