First thing: 100% NOT celiac safe at “Vino &…”. I sat at the bar and could see my food being made. Thankfully I’m not celiac because I watched the chef take water from where they cook at the gluten filled pastas and put it in my gluten free dish. My server listed as a gluten allergy. The dish was overly salted anyway. I had a great experience pre pandemic but not so much this time around. I have the Bolognese with GF pasta.
Well, there was a lot of FOMO going on for me as my family ate some really nice bread(with honey and cheese) and pizzas. They love this place and we e been here several times. This was my first time here as diagnosed celiacs. The menu wasn’t easy, but waitress was very good. She told me which pasta and other dishes they could swap with gluten free pasta. She even knew to tell me not to do the gluten free pizza because of cross contamination. I had a really delicious GF pasta with mushrooms and a white sauce, and a really nice glass of wine. We also shopped in the store and bought several gluten free items. My family loved it. I unfortunately did have some light symptoms the next day which for me means cross contamination. Still would probably go back because family likes it so much.
I tried the gluten-free pasta- it was amazing. The waiter was very thoughtful and assured me that there was no cross contamination. They also sell the gf dried pasta in the store to cook at home. Items on the menu Gf items were identified on the menu.

I did not eat at the restaurants, but I found some awesome gf Italian cookies and pasta in the shopping area!
Really cool place! I was a little worried about cross contamination based on other reviews, but I ended up being okay! I got the pizza at Vino & and while it does look like the regular pizza, you can tell it’s Gf by the bottom of the pizza! It’s doughy. Overall good and they have yummy gf desserts downstairs
DO NOT EAT! I ate at La Pizza and La Pasta on the second floor. I understand the menu says “not celiac certified” however, I have not been officially diagnosed with celiacs and cross contamination does not seem to bother me much. I am convinced they brought me a regular pizza. The pizza looked exactly like the others regular but they insisted it was safe and gluten free. Well 4 hours later I experience the worst pain of my life. Excruciating pains in stomach, stabbing pains, like glass was shattering in my stomach, I could barely walk and needed help just to stand up due to the pain.
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
I found they did not offer a gluten free menu. They had many options that would be considered gluten free, but I 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. I find this to be totally ridiculous. As a newly diagnosed celiac I did not feel extremely comfortable eating there. I love this place so I 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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
Great GF pasta upstairs and GF desserts downstairs!
Lots of GF goodies here! Pasta, pastries and even found some baking mixes.

Didn’t get sick but I had a salad with poached shrimp. (Grilled chicken is made on the grill where they toast bread; it’s good they knew that at least). It was so expensive and tiny. Almost no safe options and there’s wheat on the table lol. Why even go here
We have eaten a few times at the place that has charcuterie boards. Delicious cheese and meat and good at keeping bread off the plate. Delicious GF pesto potato chips that I used vs bread. Good wine selection too.
I told the host I had Celiac and she carefully explained the gluten free pasta and precautions that were taken. My server was great as well. The pasta and pomadoro sauce were delicious.
The first question the server asked was if anyone at our table had any allergies. When I said gluten free, she immediately asked if it was celiac, and said that they advise against getting pizza due to cross contamination. She went over the rest of the menu mentioning what accommodations could be made. I got pasta and it was wonderful!
Most pastas and pizzas can now be made GF. THE pasta was so good, I forget the actual name but had a red sauce with clams mussels and shrimp, I to die for. My teenage daughter loved my pasta too.
