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.

Wheat Allergy

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I went to Eataly today for lunch. They do have some gluten free pasta and pizza substitions that you have to ask the waiter for. I was told the pasta is a quinoa rice combination.

The pizza is has more chance of cross contamination since they put it in the pizza oven with other non gluten free pizza.

So far I’m ok, and no issues from eating the pizza. I got the mushroom and truffle one. Dough did taste good and the pizza itself was on the softer side.

I spoke with the chef about the pizza dough and it’s an Italian flour that uses wheat flour that undergoes a process to get gluten out. The brand is called Caputo. It’s easily searchable online and says gluten free. The chef told me that in the past they where using a different flour that caused more issues for people.

As far as quality vs price the food was a little more underwhelming than I was hoping for. I’m Italian and was hoping for a taste of home. Didn’t quite happen but was an experience.

I would give a zero to this place.

Very misleading I checked the website and called before I came because my little one is Celiac.

They said they had gluten free options but the server told me even though it said Gluten free, it was not gluten free. It had gluten contamination.

People need to be aware that Celiac is a serious disease and should be taken seriously.

We stopped in at La Pizza La Pasta in Eataly for lunch over the weekend and it was really busy. I was a bit worried about that, but worked with our server to clarify safe items (not just the GF marked items but what would be safest for the kitchen to make when it's busy). I ended up ordering the salmon with broccoli rabe and it was fantastic! Even better, I didn't have a reaction afterward.

Terra inside Eataly has a really tasty Italian menu with plenty of gluten free options, including gf pasta. Service is hit or miss in terms or servers being knowledgeable/helpful with allergies. A lot of the menu is grilled over a fire, including bread so it’s important to explain the severity of your gluten sensitivity.
