Gluten free at Cucina del Capitano?

[wantocruisemore]

Excited about trying this for upcoming cruise, but DD requires GF. Does Cucina del Capitano have GF options at their free lunch? I found the lunch menu on a review but it did not list a GF pasta option. Just curious if this will be option for us for embarkation lunch. We never do pay restaurants so only interested in lunch.

What did Carnival say when you contacted them and asked?

[wantocruisemore]

Special needs did not know. There's a wide variety of GF options, etc. said to talk with manager of area to b sure. Just checking to see if anyone on this board knew.

I have cruised "gluten free" with Carnival several times and YES there's gluten free choice on the Cucina menu...enjoy

Is the gluten free a pasta or another entree such as chicken?

Are the choices during the free lunch?

Yes the lunchtime menu is smaller than dinner menu but it is free ...... It's a gluten free pasta and then u choose what sauce u want and I think there's a chicken /Alfredo option as well ......it's all very good!

Also Caesar salad and bread . They do have gluten free bread on the ships too u just have to ask for it ...they are very accommodating with gluten free options .

Ah, individual tastes are so subjective. My take on the Magic's Cucina was that the appetizers were better than the entree.

 

I had a tomato based sauce on my pasta dish/chicken parm which was very sweet and had a ketchuppy consistency. The chicken was like a piece of cardboard. I commented at the time that if the Cucina opened as a restaurant in New York City it wouldn't last very long.

 

Of course, I'm Italian, born and raised in the Bronx, so I'm a bit particular when it comes to Italian cuisine. I have memories of my Grandmother making her own pasta and pizza dough from scratch. I'll just stick to paying for a great meal in the Steakhouses.

It wasn't an opinion or review the OP was looking for. Just a question about whether there was a gluten free option.

Thats wonderful news now they have gluten free pasta, it sure be nice to have something different during lunch.

[wantocruisemore]

Thanks for the responses. It sounds perfect for a quiet meal on embarkation day.

I am italian sicilian grandparents from Italy....I know what italian suppose to taste like, on the Dream three years ago we have to say for a cruise ship it was very very good, one of the reasons why we chose the Magic for April as they have her also on that ship. The lasagna wasn't that good but we found everything else was made to order and it was very good.
