A friend and I split a salad and asked if it was gluten free. I was assured it was. It was not.

No gluten free menu. I was told my options were the beet salad and the Caesar salad (minus croutons and fried onion pieces). They also said they can make their pizzas with a gluten free crust. However, after I ordered, a manager came to the table to let me know the GF pizza is baked in the same oven as the regular pizza, and no precautions are taken. He said all pizzas are placed directly on the same conveyor belt in the same oven. Even if cross contamination isn’t an issue for you, note that if you order a “gluten-free” pizza, it has the thin, crispy, cracker type crust. If you’re looking for a place to eat that offers truly gluten free food that also has a variety of items to choose from, this is not it. There are actual GF options at so many other restaurants in Chicago, there really is no reason to dine here. My family enjoyed their meals, so it wasn’t a total loss. I just felt the need to share my experience because I didn’t want anyone to read the other positive reviews and get their hopes about this place like I did. If you’re in the mood for a salad, or if you enjoy being a spectator while everyone else in your party is enjoying a meal, you might like this place.

Crowded but cute. Fast service. Not much was gluten free however. We were told that only the salads and 2 of the entrees were actually gluten free. They said the Octopus could NOT be done gluten free despite a prior review saying that it could be. Pizzas CAN be gluten free for an extra $2. Food was tasty however. Hence the 4 stars.

Very good food. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about what foods are gluten free. I got the shrimp tacos. They were good but EXTREMELY spicy.

They have an allergen card! We asked them questions about the gf pizza and it sounded unsafe for sensitive celiacs. We ended up ordering grilled octopus and braised short rib. Everything was really delicious! And they have a great interior vibe going on - super cool spot

Gluten free pizza was delicious for a non-pizza place. Loved the patio. Would return to try other menu items.
