Gluten is a protein found in wheat and some other grains. While most people can digest it without an issue, others react severely to it and therefore need to follow a gluten-free diet. Awareness around gluten-free diets has really grown over the past few years. November is now Gluten-Free Awareness Month, a chance to talk about gluten-free diets and also celebrate the many restaurants and food companies that have created delicious gluten-free foods. If you're looking for a Long Island restaurant to celebrate with a gluten-free meal, our REALTORS® have some suggestions.

Choose from appetizers like Calamari Fritti, Stuffed Artichokes, and Minestrone Soup. The entrees are just as appealing. Guests love the Pollo Marsala, Gnocchi with Bolognese, and Penne Peppina.
