The server was very nice and did not seem put out by us asking about their gluten free protocols and went to ask the chef to confirm a couple of times. We enjoyed the GF pasta and it was also great leftover. It seemed like they were able to make other entrees gluten free upon request. We were told the vanilla ice cream was gluten free, but the chocolate syrup was not, so heads up if you order the kids meal which comes with the ice cream.

I had one safe and delicious meal and then I had one bad experience where I had multiple pieces of regular noodles in my "gluten free" pasta. . . like small chunks of spaghetti and they only have gluten free penne. no thanks.

I have Celiac Disease & as soon as I notified my waiter, he sent the Chef out to our table & he personally took my order. Assuring me that they use proper cooking techniques & that all of the pasta sauces are made without any gluten containing ingredients. I was impressed by that! The gluten free penne was cooked perfectly & the Alfredo sauce was delicious. & I didn't get glutened! The only reason I gave them 4 stars was because the service otherwise was just so-so & the chicken was very dry. However, I'm glad I found a pasta place that caters to dietary restrictions!

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.
