I am partial to certain restaurants. My favorite haunt with friends is a local place called Tesoro in Westbury on Long Island. The food is always good and the owner greets you with a smile. Several years ago we celebrated a special occasion at Tesoro and it has become our occasion restaurant ever since.

A close second for my family is Café Formaggio which is just up the road from Tesoro. Café Formaggio has mastered gluten free which makes it our special occasion restaurant when celebrating with my daughter. If you have celiac, the restaurant that brings gluten free bread to the table wins hands down, especially when it offers a gluten free menu with choices as varied as its gluten-full menu.

Do you have a special occasion restaurant?
