I’ve eaten here safely several times, but the last time I was severely glutenated. Sick almost instantly (which is rare for me!). They did have different gf bread, not sure if that was the culprit, but something has changed!

Great experience. Servers were so thoughtful and careful with our order. They made me feel cared for and not a burden. Thank you, Becky!

I ate here back in December 2012 and didn't take the time to rate it then. The pasta dishes are more authentic Italian dishes, the chef uses a lot of herbs and spices to build flavor rather than using a jar of sauce. The pasta was a bit dry but its hard to get GF pasta just right. The selection is amazing and it's wonderful to get real Italian food that is GF. I recommended to friends and recommend to this community as well.

AWESOME! Lived near this location forever, just started going since I've been GF and I love it. The menu is great, they will even bring you GF bread from Deerfield's Bakery. A friend of mine had a wedding shower here. They were more than willing to make an exception to the family style menu and bring me a personal GF dish. The brides family had provided Italian cookies, they came back and asked if I'd like a gluten free dessert. I felt so safe and welcomed here.

This restaurant has a huge gluten free menu! There are no more salads in your future!! The menu includes appetizers, meals, and desserts! Pasta includes lasagna and all types of delicious linguine! Desserts include a flour less chocolate cake, cupcakes, and a chocolate brownie with mint center! Plus, they give you a warm roll of gluten free bread to eat while everyone else eats there flour roll!!! I highly recommend!!!

We have been to Francesca's (on 95th) numerous times over the years and have never had bad reactions. Their menu changes somewhat frequently and they do have a GF menu. They are VERY accommodating and nearly all of the regular menu can be made GF as well. Service is exemplary and we will continue to visit in the future.

You will need to ask for the GF menu for the meal and dessert. The food we had was delicious but we did notice there were some changes from the online menu to what's offered in the resturant n so go in with an opened mind.
