We ate lunch at Piada and we were excited to see a billboard in the restaurant announcing gluten-free options. It looks like the set up of Chipotle but very upscale and nice. We opted for the salads since they do not have gluten-free pasta or breads. Be careful in the serving line as breadcrumbs were in one area. We asked to speak with the chef, and there is always a chef on hand. We asked for our salad items to be taken from the kitchen and not the line to avoid cross contamination. Almost all of the ingredients were taken from the back. The chef seemed very knowledgeable about G.F. practices. The salad was great nicely tossed and containing a nice mixture not the regular bowl of lettuce with a few things on top. The serving line moves very quickly since it is designed for you to get your order and be able to return to work very quickly.

Worth the drive!
A farm with many retail buildings (gift barn, gardening barn, etc) There is a barn ENTIRELY for food allergies with about 900 gluten free products, many dairy free, new or hard to find.
In addition to the market, Naturally Soergel’s is across the street and offers numerous baked goods which are gluten-free and free of other allergens. The gluten-free baked items are not baked on premesis but rather are brought in by several local gluten-free bakers.
If you travel to Pittsburgh first, visit Gluuteny Bakery in Squirrel Hill for GF pastry and then head to Soergel’s. Be prepared to spend more than you anticipated.
Amy Soergel was diagnosed a few years ago and is trained in nutrition. She is more than qualified to answer your questions.

Have all day to spend? Drive north to Sharon PA and have GF lunch or dinner at Ferrara’s!
Columbus
IB shares about a restaurant in the Columbus area:
We went out to eat at Portia’s restaurant which is a vegan and GF restaurant. Small, hippy like. I ordered a wrap which they make fresh and is so delicious – light and fluffy, not hard. No bad aftertaste. Exquisite.
