Eataly

Celiac friendly?

No

I have a wheat allergy so stepping foot in Eataly was a bad idea. Headache and fatigue about five minutes after being there. I shopped for 20 minutes and found wheat replacements for both pasta and crackers before sitting down at Osteria. By then I had worked up an appetite for pasta, only to be informed that they only serve gf pasta at one of the other restaurants. Because we were settled into a bottle, we opted to sit tight. We ordered the charcuterie plate - it was delivered beautifully, but without any explanation of what was on the board (and it wasn’t listed on the menu). I opted for the octopus and broccoli, which were both good, but not mind blowing for the price. Overall the Osteria service was blah - I haven’t left a 15% tip in a long time. Dessert wasn’t offered - we went downstairs for gelato that was delicious and reasonably priced. I won’t go back - wasn’t worth the physical ailments.

Incredible place, so much to see, an incredible market and dinning However - not recommended for the celiac. They cross contaminated and made my wife sick

At best this is gluten friendly , not safe for Celiacs. Staff not very knowledgeable

The most ahhmazing gluten free PIZZA🍕 It was the best pizza I've ever had, including "real" pizza before being diagnosed with celiac. Please note that the pizza is cooked in the same oven as the other pizzas, so you're taking a risk. I am SUPER sensitive to cross contamination and did not get sick.

La Pasta and La Pizza have gluten-free options. Staff was knowledgeable. Fantastic GF wood fired pizza.

No gluten free pasta, service is slow. Server was rude

I️ found they did not offer a gluten free menu. They had many options that would be considered gluten free, but I️ had to work hard to sort out any cross contamination issues. The area we ate in did not serve gluten free pasta, but a different area did. I️ find this to be totally ridiculous. As a newly diagnosed celiac I️ did not feel extremely comfortable eating there. I️ love this place so I️ truly hope they can figure out how to introduce a gluten free menu and gluten free pasta throughout the restaurants. Also, education of the staff would make it much easier to navigate. Maybe some gluten free bread-wow that would be amazing!

Lots of yummy gf options. I've had great pasta here, and this visit we were in a hurry so I was advised to go to the rotisserie. I had amazing prime rib with potatoes and greens. There are also several gf dessert options at the coffee bar.

went for dessert. the tiramisu was great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their whole fish with skin on is to die for! so many flavors of citrus and Herb with a delicious crispy skin and a light flaky interior that they will debone for you at the table. the assorted root vegetables have a delicate butter glaze that seem to have a hint of Dill . Honestly, it was beyond fabulous . Excellent presentation and as always wonderful wine pairings everywhere.

The dessert shop over by the gelato had several gluten free selections carefully marked.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ate here last weekend with my daughter. They are more dismissive with my concern than dutiful, but I think because they deal with it all the time. They answered all the right questions about using a separate pot, etc. They can do any of the pastas (except ravioli of course). However, I ordered off the fresh section instead of Imported, and they didn't tell me until I was finished that it was sold in a package in their store, not make by them. But it was good anyway. I had the seafood pasta with a tomato/wine sauce, and my daughter loved her Buccatini. They had a good Italian wine I enjoy at home As well. For dessert I went downstairs and had the granita. I think I could have had the gelato but didn't want to think about CC. Great service and I would come again if my family "needed" Italian.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had gluten free pasta with Italian bacon. This is actually several testaurants or cafes and a large Italian food store owned by Mario Batali (he's a Food Network Italian chef). I had Casarecce all' Amatriciana, gluten free pasta, guanciale (Italian bacon), red onion, tomato, chili flake and pecorino Romano cheese. It was so good! I am tried some cheeses and the tartufo salami. I had the GF semifreddo (made with a rice flour sponge cake base) for dessert. I also bought some GF pasta and cookies to take home. Fun place!

Celiac friendly?

No

The waitress seemed less than excited about having to deal with a Celiac. That should have tipped me off. I got very ill last night and felt awful today. I suspect stray non GF noodles.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had some tasty gluten free pasta and gelato. Everything was tasty.

Had plenty of options at the pasta restaurant. My son and I both Celiacs ate with no reaction. We finished with gf mousse desserts from La Pasticerria. Very good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I avoided the pasta area- and simply went with the small plates, cheese and vegetables. I bought a bag of fabulous Gf potato chips to help with my cheese plate. Fantastic!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We only had a few minutes to walk around the first floor where they have a coffee bar with mini desserts. They had 4 or 5 GF options including a delicious GF tiramisu.

THE BEST GLUTEN FREE PASTA EVER. There are several places to eat here but I make my way straight to the pasta restaurant. Any pasta on the menu can be done GF except for stuffed pastas. I has no idea if there are other GF offerings in the building because I just can't eat anything else! You can buy the pasta here too.

Celiac friendly?

No

We tried to go here for some pastries. When we called to check about cross contamination, we were told not to worry. Upon arriving, we were told everything came in contact with wheat. Save yourself time and aggravation and skip this place.

Any pasta that isn't filled can be made gluten free. They are a ton of dessert selections too!

Their pizzas are not GF but any of their pastas that aren't filled can be. And pretty good tasting too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had a delicious pasta in their pizza and pasta restaurant. There were quite a few gluten-free options in the restaurant but pizza was not GF. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and was delicious. The best part of the night was buying a pastry from the pastry counter- so many to choose from. I chose a classic Tiramasu and it was wonderful. I am planning my next trip to Chicago as I head to the airport so I can go back here.

The most amazing gluten free pastries I have ever tasted. Gluten free pasta and so much more. Worth a trip!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

AMAZING Very good pastries

Lots of GF goodies here! Pasta, pastries and even found some baking mixes.

On Quality & Quantity

The gluten friendly pizza is amazing, I just wish they used different kitchen space to get rid of cross contamination. Their gf penne noodles and everything else naturally gf is great though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable about celiac with the server asking if celiac, allergy or sensitivity.

Asked if the soup was GF, they checked with another employee who said no because their is cream in it. 🙃

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff at Manzo was very knowledgeable about celiac and made us feel safe. My daughter got the pasta with bacon and it was DELICIOUS! She had gelato as well. We actually went ahead and bought 2 bags of the dried pasta to take home. You could not tell it was GF! She did not get sick!

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten light pizza. Took the risk after being told of cross contamination. I did react, totally my fault. The crust was delicious nevertheless.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf pasta available. Staff are knowledgeable and want to know if it’s allergy or dietary. Had a great experience!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgable. Pasta is completely gluten free, prepared in a separate area. Pizza is NOT gluten free, as there is cross contamination.

While the pizza isn’t 100% celiac friendly - the bake it in the same oven with their other pizzas - if gluten free is a preference vs an allergy this is by far the BEST gluten free pizza I’ve ever had! Also they do offer true gluten free pasta dishes and they are delicious!! So good I’ve come here 2X in a row!

La Pizza La Pasta at Eataly offers both GF pizza and pasta options. They can substitute all pasta dishes (except filled pastas and spaghetto pomodoro) with the GF option. I got the Cacio E Pepe and it was delicious! Staff was very knowledgeable, told me GF Pizza is cooked in same oven as regular pizza so avoid if you have celiac, but GF pasta should be safe for all.

Celiac friendly?

No

As a place to buy supplies, it’s fine, but after getting the run around from different staff at various places, when I finally spoke to a waiter, he told me there’s risk of contamination in all of their kitchens.

Celiac friendly?

No

I’m not sure if they recently changed their menu option but they had no gluten free pasta options. Even the steak with no sauce couldn’t be done GF safely since they use a shared flat top grill with their focaccia bread (as told by the knowledgable waiter). The only option he recommended was the chicken as that was baked. I was fine eating it but the dish was very underwhelming and not very Italian for such an Italian spot.

Lots of GF items to take home to prepare. To eat in, choices are limited.

We ate at Eataly after going to the 9/11 memorial. I was not impressed! They had a salad and they had a pasta option. The pasta was cooked al dente which I think must be a New York thing. I personally don’t care for it. We paid $24 for a pasta with a little sauce on it and I could not eat it. It just did not taste good (to me). Dine elsewhere if you’re celiac.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The only thing GF here seems to be their Gelato. But it’s real and it’s fabulous! They also have GF pasta for sale in their grocery department.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The pasta is incredible! It takes extra time to cook it so be prepared to wait. My only complaint is being Eataly, the fact that they only have one style of pasta that is completely free is a little sad.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

EXCELLENT experience! I ended up sitting at the bar, so I was able to watch my meal be cooked from start to finish. They use a noticeably different pan to cook the GF pasta, and my meal was delicious and carefully handled. I ordered a Lumache con Salsiccia e Finocchio. Great service too!

Totally recommend for a gf pasta experience! The pasta was cooked well and seemed homemade. Very tasty

Overwhelming with yumminess! The gluten free pasta tasted great and was cooked perfectly. There isn't a gf pizza option but the ambiance and people watching made up for it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eataly was great in catering to my allergies and the quality of the food was amazing and it was so good! The staff was great with coordinating with the kitchen about my allergies.
