"This friendly spot has long specialized in ample gluten-free options: Since 1988, Bistango has offered extensive choices for those with celiac or gluten sensitivities, long before it became a common alternative on most menus, much less in carb-heavy Italian food. The menu dips into various regional Italian cuisines, with lots of familiar dishes like cavatelli with sausage and hot cherry peppers, four varieties of fresh ravioli, and roasted eggplant parmesan. Another location, also on the east side, is 20 blocks further uptown." - Alexandra Ilyashov
