Frustrated by her own experience of dining out with food restrictions, owner Felicia Rocchino set out to provide a place where people with similar challenges could eat freely. “It is very hard to dine out, because gluten spreads,” she says. “Even when precautions are taken.” Indigo 52 in Nazareth offers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options. Rocchino names the Socca pizza, stuffed French toast with jam and cashew cream, vegan shepherd’s pie, borscht, Brussels sprout latkes, and pasta with sun-dried tomato vegan “cream” sauce as standouts on the menu. She says the restaurant has been well received by the community. “People with allergies are excited to finally have a place to eat. For everyone else, it’s just the opportunity to experience a really unique, upscale menu.”
