Louie's Wine Dive

severe celiac, this is my new go to, ate here multiple times staff is very knowledgeable and make you feel comfortable there will be no cross contamination - haven't been sick from eating here in any way!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

this is my go-to restaurant in uptown

This a great restaurant that offers a lot of variety. Everything they fry is gluten free. They were very knowledgeable about gluten free as well as the things on their menu. Two things that really stood out to me: 1. free parking in an underground ramp off of lake street and Aldrich ave. 2. there is no upcharge for gluten free! I have celiac and had a great experience. I highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

First time visiting, menu identified items that were or could be made gluten free. Many options. We ordered the pork gnocchi using gluten free noodles and loved it. We will go back again.

My husband took our oldest daughter, who is a very sensitive celiac, for a Valentines date tonight. She was vomiting two hours later (her usual gluten response) and has now been vomiting for close to two hours. VERY disappointed and disheartening. We were so excited to potentially have another safe place to eat but we will never take our girls there again.

want to come back to try more as I only had a few appetizers - but tons of GF options, dedicated fryer, and fun atmosphere. I’m a super super sensitive celiac and had no issues; I tried the brussel sprouts (some bites really good, some bites just okay) and the fried curds - delicious!!

I am a very sensitive Celiac and I had no problems at Louie's. Our waitress was a Celiac herself, so she assured me that it was safe for me to eat there. She said that when she put gluten free on our order she had to specify it was for an allergy and not a preference. I would recommend reminding your waiter/waitress to do that, if you have an allergy. Their menu is clearly marked and you need to ask if their fryer is separate or shared, apparently it isn't all the time. I had the spinach artichoke dip, butternut squash salad and chicken piccata with no issues. I would say this restaurant is very safe for Celiacs.
