Maggiano's

I just have to say — wow! I was shocked at the service and care that went into my meal. I went in for a business meeting and looked at the menu. There wasn’t anything labeled GF and so I assumed I couldn’t eat there. I mentioned it to another table guest and the server overheard me and came up to the table and said “most of our food can be made gluten free and all of our sauces except for one are gluten free as well.” He then had the chef come out and talk to me, which was a first. The chef asked me what I was looking at and what sounded good and said he could make pretty much anything gluten free. I ended up getting the chicken piccata — he grilled my chicken and subbed for gluten free pasta and it was delicious!

I felt super heard/seen and will 100% be returning.

No gluten-free menu but they seem to take allergies VERY seriously. The chef comes out to take the order personally and provides GF substitutes. Many options!

The downtown location does an amazing job including the chef coming to speak to you and serving your food. I have eaten at the Englewood location twice and the chef did not come speak to us on either occasion. The first visit, I was sick the next day. This visit, my food was placed in front of me with meatball and marinara sauce on my GF mashed potatoes, clearly contaminated. When the food was pointed out to the waitress the scoop of potatoes was replaced on the same plate of food. I cannot be certain if the rest of my meal was contaminated by the food from another plate that was obviously splashed onto my plate. My daughters meal (who also has celiac). Appeared to be fine. When we asked for her meal to be bagged to go separately, it was included with the other pasta dishes. Disappointed since we have had such amazing experiences at the downtown location!!!!

Celiac friendly?

No

I called ahead and spoke with a chef who told me they use separate strainers, separate water to cook the pasta, separate tools when preparing the gf pasta. When we got there, I let the waiter know my daughter had celiac disease. The chef came out and he walked us through the whole menu. He made the meal himself and delivered my daughter’s meal himself. I could not have felt better about her meal and safety. No issues with getting sick. We will definitely be returning customers!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I called and spoke to the chef and he said they use the same serving dishes, strainers etc as regular pasta and when I pointed out cross contamination he said well they are clean to start..not Celiac safe in my opinion

Celiac friendly?

No

I've been to this location three times. The chef always comes out and is very helpful with celiac and allergies. I wish they had gf bread but the food is good and I haven't gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Let them know you need GF right away and they grab the chef who will go through the entire menu with you to help you pick. They also will change ingredients for any other allergies you may have. Wonderful.

Has gf pasta.. A couple choices.... Chef came out to get my order and make sure everything was prepared for my needs... I have celiac

Beautiful Italian restaurant. My server was very kind and knowledgeable about the Gluten Free options. They don’t have a separate menu or any indications of any dishes being GF on the menu so you rely on your server. She suggested I get the GF Taylor Street Baked Ziti and it was delicious! Definitely coming back here when I get the chance.

This restaurant is amazing and the servers are very professional. I had a work meeting here, and my boss asked for the gluten-free menu( I have Celiac) . They had a separate menu, and they cooked everything separate , with no cross contamination. The manager came and talked to me and read the gluten-free menu.. She was very smart and careful. The food was wonderful, and the cream brulee was so yummy. I didn't get sick at all. 🤩

Even if it’s not nessesarily their nitch, These folks get G-Free & Celiac! And rarely are you going to find such care & consideration at such a classy atmosphere Restaraunt as this!

Dress up or casual… we saw the whole spectrum of customers here. Although, dressing up will really make a special night out here. Wonderful old time dinner music hits from the likes of Sinatra filled the low light pleasant & romantic venue. Once advised of our issues, our waitress Sheena (who, by the way, is a 5-Star Rock Star of a Server!) had the Chef at our table side in minutes, advising us on their abilities & limitations. Way more selection than one might anticipate, although less than we had seen at their Orlando location last year.

The gluten free Panne as Alfredo w/Chicken breast added was exquisite in appearance and taste….even as a next day leftover!!!

While I have never gotten sick at Maggianos in the past my pasta has been undercooked, and they do not offer many gluten free options.
