Otto's Restaurant & Bar

Love Otto’s! Best tomato soup I’ve ever had (and I don’t even like tomato soup). The chef’s wife and kid have celiac so there’s a dedicated frier and many options. Try the fried calamari. You won’t regret it!

Many of their items are marked GF on their dinner and dessert menu and they even offer a gluten free bread service option. The food is fantastic and we always enjoy dining here knowing I won't get sick.

Food was great and lots of great GF options on the menu. The almond crusted calamari and their grilled halibut special was great! The chocolate truffle cake was also GF and was soo good

Have been many times. The food is great, the menu is almost entirely gluten free and very clearly labeled. Staff are always very knowledgeable and helpful. Don’t miss out on the gf calimari!

By far the best meal I’ve had since COVID started. I had Scallops with Squash risotto and it was amazing! I am gluten free and they are able to accommodate very well with the menu clearly marked. They even have a GF bread service! Reservations are required as of this posting.

The head chef is himself gluten free, so there are so many great options at Otto’s!

Consistently great food and traditional, homey atmosphere nestled in the trees in west Madison.

Have been here a couple times, very good food. The staff seem to know a lot and were willing to check on things. Can confirm the food was safe.
