The dining experience should be a celebration, not a battlefield. Yet, for millions of New Yorkers, navigating dietary restrictions like gluten-free, celiac, and keto can feel like traversing a minefield. Craving a decadent birthday cake without triggering an avalanche of symptoms? Forget it. Date night at a swanky Italian joint? Out of the question.
We're not just tooting our own horn (though our chefs' creations deserve to be known!). Recent research suggests that 84% of NYC residents with dietary restrictions feel limited in their restaurant choices; 78% would pay a premium for delicious, safe, and convenient home-delivered meals that cater to their needs; 92% of our clients report improved health, and increased satisfaction with their diet after enjoying our private chef services.
So, what if we told you a wonderful dining experience awaits you and doesn't have to be off-limits? Here at Gradito, we're redefining what it means to eat well with restrictions. Gradito private chefs are Michelin-trained chefs, whipping up mouthwateringly good dishes meticulously tailored to your specific needs at your doorstep.
The Gluten Gauntlet

Forget cardboard gluten-free bread and gummy pancakes. Our chefs are alchemists of alternative flours, weaving magic with a medley of gluten-free superstars like almonds, brown rice, tapioca, and chickpeas. Combined with their secret weapon – expert blending techniques – these flours yield masterpieces that defy gluten-free expectations. Imagine airy pancakes that rival their flour-filled counterparts or melt-in-your-mouth focaccia with a golden crust and fluffy interior.
Pizza night no longer requires a side of stomach distress. Our gluten-free pizza crusts are more than just edible plates for toppings. They're crispy on the outside, chewy inside, and hold their own against any classic pizza crust. We're talking Neapolitan-style beauties adorned with fresh mozzarella and basil or deep-dish delights piled high with your favorite veggies and meats. And because we understand the pain of gluten lurking in unexpected places, we use dedicated equipment and follow rigorous protocols to ensure 100% gluten-free perfection.
But the Gluten Gauntlet is more than just delicious substitutions. It's about understanding the unique challenges of living gluten-free. Our chefs are not just culinary masters; they're empathy experts. They know the frustration of missing out on shared meals, the anxiety of hidden gluten, and the constant vigilance required. That's why they cater to your individual needs, crafting dishes that are not just gluten-free but also cater to your preferences and nutritional goals.
Conquering Celiac
Celiac disease isn't just an intolerance; it's an autoimmune response. Even trace amounts of gluten can trigger serious health issues. Our chefs understand the gravity of the situation. We use dedicated equipment and strict protocols to ensure every dish is 100% celiac-safe. No cross-contamination, no worries, just pure culinary joy.
We embrace the "celiac-safe" standard, employing a zero-tolerance policy towards gluten. Our kitchens are like Fort Knox for gluten – impenetrable by rogue wheat particles. We use dedicated equipment, from pots and pans to cutting boards and utensils, specifically for preparing celiac-safe dishes. These tools never mingle with their gluten-containing counterparts, eliminating even the whispers of cross-contamination.
Our protocols are meticulous, bordering on obsessive. We follow strict cleaning procedures, ensuring surfaces are squeaky clean before any gluten-free preparations begin. Handwashing has become an art form, with soap and water becoming our trusty weapons against hidden gluten. We double-check ingredients, scrutinize labels, and never underestimate the stealthy nature of gluten lurking in unexpected places.
We understand the emotional toll of celiac disease. The constant vigilance, the social anxiety, the fear of triggering symptoms – it all weighs heavily. That's why our chefs don't just create delicious food; they craft a sense of freedom and security. Every dish delivers a message: "Enjoy, relax, savor – your well-being is our top priority."
Keto Kickstart

The keto diet, with its focus on high fat and low carbs, has taken the world by storm. But let's be honest, lettuce wraps, and protein shakes get old fast. Our chefs bring the sizzle back to keto! Imagine succulent roasted lamb with rosemary roasted potatoes (made with ingenious low-carb swaps) or creamy cauliflower Alfredo that rivals any carb-laden version. We make keto a culinary adventure, not a deprivation sentence.
Our chefs are masters of low-carb trickery. They wield a magic wand of creativity, transforming everyday ingredients into keto masterpieces. Say goodbye to rubbery pancakes and cardboard crackers. We'll tempt you with coconut flour pancakes fluffy enough to cradle whipped cream and almond flour cookies rich with dark chocolate chips, all without a hint of graininess. And who says pizza is off-limits? For a guilt-free pizza party, we'll conjure crispy keto crusts made from ground nuts and seeds, topped with your favorite meats and veggies.
Forget the keto stigma of blandness and deprivation. With our Gradito private chefs at your side, keto becomes a vibrant journey of discovery. Each meal is a chance to experience new flavors, textures, and cooking techniques, all while keeping your carb count in check. We're here to prove that healthy eating can be a thrilling adventure, not a monotonous chore.
It’s All About You
Our approach is as personal as your plate. We work closely with you to understand your unique needs, preferences, and restrictions. Craving Thai curry? We'll make it keto-friendly with coconut milk and zoodles. Vegetarian and gluten-free? No problem! We'll whip up a veggie paella that explodes with flavor. We believe good food is for everyone, and our chefs are passionate about proving it.
Beyond the Bite: We understand that mealtime is more than just fuel. It's about connection, celebration, and creating memories. Our chefs go the extra mile to craft experiences that feel special. Imagine a romantic candlelit dinner with gluten-free pasta and a decadent chocolate soufflé (yes, it's possible!), or a fun family feast with keto-friendly pizza and grain-free desserts with everyone asking for seconds.
