Fwd: GF Pasta - Pasta Pomodoro

[Guest guest]

Here's what I heard from Pasta Pomodoro regarding prepping GF pasta.

You might take a copy of it with you when you go to Pasta Pomodoro. Perhaps a given location isn't aware of the company policy.

Dear Harper,

Thank you for your fast reply. We do not pre-boil our gluten-free pasta. As soon as our guests request that their pasta is to be subsituted with a gluten-free alternative, our chefs will boil a fresh pot of water for the pasta as opposed to cooking the pasta in our pasta boilers to avoid cross-contamination. Since we cook the pasta over the stove and not with our pasta boilers, the food may take longer to get to your table.

To avoid waiting while the gluten-free pasta is being cooked, you may call any of our locations ahead of time.

Thank you again for your inquiry. We hope to see you soon at your local Pomodoro!

Ciao, Maricor Resente Office Coordinator Pomodoro

Is this the case at any of the Pasta Pomodoro restaurants? Thank you.Harper In a message dated 6/11/07 3:05:11 PM, mresente@... writes:

Dear Harper, Thank you for your inquiry regarding our gluten-free pasta. The only way we can ensure that the pasta is gluten-free is for our guests to request it to be cooked in a separate pot of water. Once our guests have informed the server or the manager of their special dietary needs, our chefs would be more than happy to comply with what you need for a healthy and delicious meal. Thank you again for your inquiry. We look forward to serving you soon at Pomodoro!
