Maggiano’s
For one of several birthday celebrations this month, we went to Maggiano’s Little Italy, a restaurant well-known for catering to the gluten-free crowd. I’ve been several times, but this is the first time that I have been while trying to lose weight. I went to the website hoping to find nutrition facts to help me make an informed decision, however no nutritional info was to be found. Then I Googled it. After a bit, I found someone who had posted the nutritional information after dealing with a very accommodating chefs and management at Maggiano’s. What gives? Well Maggiano’s has a reason to be a little sneaky…the nutrition facts are absolutely terrible! After looking menu, I found only about three things that I could even justify eating:
- Half Spinach Salad
- Salmon with lemon & herb sauce
- Filet or NY Strip without added sauce
Maggiano’s is one of the few places here locally that make gluten-free pasta, but with nutrition info like that, it will be a rare occurrence that I head there anymore…
Do you know of good and somewhat healthy gluten-free italian options? Share your experience with me!
