Gluten-Free Dining in Boston's North End

Below is a copy of an email I received regarding an appealing gluten-free dining option in Boston's North End. I have not been to Nebo yet; it would be great to hear from any readers who have been to Nebo and would like to comment on their experience. 20 gluten-free pizzas to choose from--that certainly sounds tempting!

To whom it may concern;

I am writing to inform you of our new Gluten free menu. About 4 yrs ago my sister Christine and I opened nebo restaurant at 90 N. Washington St. in Boston’s North End. Nebo is a traditional Italian restaurant offering dishes based on recipes that were passed down from our mother and grandmother. After being open for about a year, two of our closest friends were told they had Celiac disease. We then realized just how many people this disease has affected and the need for an alternative for their dining restrictions. Determined to serve our friends their favorites, we set upon making our menu available in a gluten free form. We are thrilled to say that we have now produced 90% of our menu with the same great taste as our regular menu. We don't think there has been an accomplishment that has brought us more pleasure. If you would like us to forward a copy of our Gluten free menu please send a menu request to nebofunctions@gmail.com .

Sincerely,

Carla and Christine Pallotta
