Bistro of Green

Uniontown

Gay shared her recent experience at Bistro of Green, 3459 Massillon Road, Uniontown, OH, 330-896-1434. First of all, we arrived at 5:10 without a reservation (they open at 5:00) and they gave us the last available table! The GF menu is extensive and affordable. I ordered a pasta entree with chicken and asparagus. There were three GF options for the numerous pasta dishes – a gf pasta; julienned vegetables; or sauteed spinach. I chose the julienned vegetables and was very happy with it. Although this is over an hour from my home, it is worth returning to try another option – as they have many GF choices. (It was a “real” menu on several pages!) That sounds great! Have you eaten there? Share your review by commenting below.

Bob shared a review of Skye:

GF Menu?: Yes

Order: Crusted calamari app, seared Mahi served with butternut squash, baby spinach & quinoa entree.

Comments: Dined 4/27, the first day for the GF menu. New Executive Chef, Mariann Offtermatt, herself a Celiac, was kind enough to come to our table and chat about the menu and her plans. The meal was wonderful as is the dining room and staff. I highly recommend Skye for a spectacular dining experience in Mentor. My wife (not GF) and I will return often. A couple of burgers are available on Udi’s buns for those who want Skye’s “Pub Fare”.

Thanks Mariann for sharing these pictures of some of the gluten free menu items:

Parent & Kid's Event, "Celebrating Earth Day"

Sue and Giordana hosted an event for kids and parents this past Sunday, April 22.

Sue reports about the fun:

Giordana had made a bunch of earth day themed games: memory games, word search, etc. These were great for the kids to complete while we waited for the rest of the families to arrive. She also made edible ‘dirt’ for the kids to enjoy.

We started out the meeting with a little lesson on recycling and how long it takes for different products to biodegrade (plastic takes 500 years!). We had the kids decorate sugar cookies to look like Earth and then they made planters out of egg shells.

Adrienne has shared her experience at this restaurant:

I had a wonderful GF pizza at this restaurant (a real treat!) and it was very good. They have been at this location for many years…. They do follow good practices against cross contamination and they wear gloves too.
We had a large pizza, and even my long suffering non-GF husband liked the thin and crispy crust. That pizza oven makes all the difference!
I did not ask about the pizza sauce, more like a marinara. Sauces don’t bother me as much as the pizza dough would. We also had onion and pepperoni toppings, both not a problem.
I think it was $17.00 for a large, not inexpensive, but it was at least 8 slices and very tasty. It just felt great to get out and eat a pizza with other people and feel ‘normal’. I know it has been at least 4 1/2- 5 years for me!!!
The owner was very accommodating and appreciative and very willing to share his knowledge, but of course I knew a great deal more!!!
He and his wife have had many requests over the years, so he found a distributor and got to work on it. He says he maintains sterile practices, and I asked about it, too. I also had no GI issues, which was fine with me!!!
I really hope he can draw GF people to the restaurant….I will definitely go again. It’s a small family run place and very homey.

NOTE: GF pizza crust comes in wrapped frozen from a GF company.
Per telephone, they said toppings were in separate bins, and separate pans were used. 4 piece & 8 piece size.
GF menu may be coming soon
