Okay so me and the BF decided to go to the city on last thursady. We went into Penn station (w 34st) and the walked up to the Museum of Natural History (w 81st) we could have taken the subway but it was such a beautiful day that we decided to walk. After the museum we went down to (w71st) where Sambuca was located.

I walk in and asked about the gluten-free menu, and the manager happened to be standing right there and he was like sure here you go and sat us right away. It was an italian style meals and the food was AMAZING!!!!!! IT WAS SO SO SO SO GOOD! We ended up just eating right from the gluten-free menu because it was family size porpotions. We orded a chicken dish and a pasta dish. we did feel slightly under dressed, but its okay because it NYC and people expect that because of tourtist. The meal was about 85 (including tip) for two people and we only ordered two glasses of wine. We also ended up spliting the dessert. It was this amazing chocolate brownie!

The entire meal was amazing even the bread was great. So at the end, he puts these two mints on the table and I asked him is that gluten-free and he was like we called them and they can not garuntee that it is.....so the dumba$$ that I am I pop it in my mouth. We let me tell you by the time I got back to Penn Station, I felt so sick. And now 3 days later I still feel horrible.

I would def. go back there in a heartbeat and if anyone does go DONT EAT THE MINTS!

I have eaten at Sambuca several times pre-dx and always loved it. When I was first diagnosed and found out they had a G/F menu I was so psyched. I actually have yet to go there since being diagnosed but I will. smile.gif
