Excellent food, but should be listed as $$. I had an $18 Salmon salad. They have many gluten-free possible items, be sure to let them know. Excellent service. I did not get sick.

Nordstrom Cafe saved the day when we found out that Margaritaville at Navy Pier can no longer do GF. Fantastic food and service, all staff was knowledgable about allergens. Mom and Dad had shrimp over risotto with asparagus and the kids had mac & cheese. A pleasant surprise!

This place has an abundance of options that are gluten free! Some appetizers, most salads & entree pastas can be modified to gluten free pasta that gets cooked in a separate pot for zero cross contamination. Pizzas have a gluten free crust option that can be made on a special platter for no cross contamination in the pizza oven.

My daughter ordered the gluten free pasta. This is her standard order. It’s good for what it is.

Lovely place, but I was sick after my salad (I’m a very sensitive Celiac). They also advised me the gf pasta is boiled with the regular pasta

My friend and I were looking for a quiet place to have lunch near Columbus Circle and they did a great job. Several nice appetizers were labeled GF on the menu, and most of the pasta dishes could be made GF.

GF items are marked with a cross. GF pasta and flatbreads available. Ask to speak to the chef and they will help you out! They are very knowledgeable and cautious when seriousness is communicated. No dedicated fryer so watch out for crispy add ons.
