La Vita Mia's Pollo alla Saltimboca

Oh! What a delicious gluten-free meal we had at La Vita Mia  in Saugus, Ma.  To start, we had the Antipasti Freddo, which can easily become a satisfying dairy-free dish as well by omitting the cheese.  The Chicken Saltimboca was specially prepared for us by forgoing the dredging in flour before being sauteed, and the Basil Risotto was naturally gluten-free. Though gluten-free pasta is not offered, one can substitute with roasted potatoes or risotto (there is an additional fee for risotto).  Some of the soups and many of the entrees are naturally gluten and dairy-free.    The staff was very receptive to our needs and as noted on the menu, “Chef DeSimone will be happy to accomodate any special request when possible.”  He certaintly did for us!
