Sausage and mushroom polenta at the gluten-free Polenteria in Los Gatos. Polenteria
The menu at Polenteria, newly open in downtown Los Gatos, is completely gluten-free, with sub-sections of bruschetta and polenta dishes. The polenta is exquisitely creamy, whipped full of dairy, and topped with stuff like foraged mushrooms, house-made Italian sausage and venison bolognese sauce. Bruschetta comes in 12 varieties, available in three-item flights. It’s a small restaurant with only five or six tables, and retro mirror tiles behind the bar. The tiny front-ofhouse is managed by a bartender and the chef, Yvonna Khananis. The restaurant’s own bread is made with gluten-free flour acquired in Italy. — S.H.
