Gluten-free in Pasta Central
So you can't eat anything with gluten, and if you're travelling thru Italy, the truth is, your screwed. But don't give up hope so fast! Rome, as many other Italian cities, is finally catching up on what has become a known fact in Italy: a growing number of Italians are gluten-intollerant. So here's one place, trendy and cool (why give up fashion?) that offers different menus for different tastes and needs. Located inside the Abitart Hotel in Ostiense, Estrobar is a modern and elegant restaurant which has succesfully combined cuisine with art. The artistic nature of the restaurant can be seen throughout, with spaces tastefully decorated with valuable art pieces and exhibitions showcasing young talents. And while art hangs on the walls, excellent food is served for those who love eating as much as they love art. Specialties from all over Italy are served with an original twist and always prepared with the best ingredients. Open from Monday to Saturday, 8pm to 12:30am, this place also serves pizza (only on Mondays) as well as sophisticated fare such as 'bass tartare on rice noodles, zucchini and carta musica (extremely thin pasta)'. To wash down all their yummy flavors, the bar holds more than 200 wine labels and serves 'Health drinks' made with veggies and fruit. Estrobar is proof that cooking is really an art.
