A new exciting feature this year is the addition of gluten-free menu options. While this is great, we are slightly disappointed that not too many restaurants in Tucson have opted to provide information regarding their gluten-free menu options during Arizona Restaurant Week 2010.

However, we have confirmed that the following restaurants will be offering gluten-free menu options during Arizona Restaurant Week 2010:

1. The Melting Pot

2. Zona 78 Italian Kitchen

Hopefully, others will be added to the list in the next few days. For updates, please follow Gluten Free Tucson on Twitter and Facebook.
