Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Carnegie Hill

This was my first dining experience at Senza Gluten and I could not have been more pleased. As someone who must maintain a gluten free lifestyle, it was so refreshing to be confident that anything I ordered would be safe. My friend, who doesn’t have any food allergies, ordered the rigatoni with mushrooms, speck, in a cream sauce. I had a bite and it was delicious. She said it was one of the best pasta dishes she’s had, which is saying a lot because gluten free pasta can be quite the disappointment. I went for the eggplant parmigiana. Our server warned me that it was a small appetizer portion, but that was fine with me because I needed to save room for dessert :) The eggplant was amazing- not bitter, tender but not mushy, and the sauce was incredible. I cook a lot at home, and eggplant parm is labor intensive to do well, so I was extremely happy to have such a treat. We shared the tiramisu. Again, labor intensive to make at home, so the perfect ending to our dining experience. I never realized how much I dread eating out because I hate having to be “that diner” who questions everything, asks for modifications, and confirms three times that the food I order will be safe. Senza Gluten took all that stress away, and for a wonderful 90 minutes, reminded me what a “normal” restaurant experience feels like.

The food, service, and ambiance is always great at Don Coqui!

Quick and delicious lunch stop. Several vegetarian options and spicy too

Always steady with delicious fresh sushi and excellent hot dishes as well. Very Very good!!

Everything was fantastic. Traditional tastes delivered with elevated style. If you like Puerto Rican or are curious about what great PR should taste like, this is the place.
