I have been to this location before but this visit was disappointing. Chef did not come out and talk to me about options. I was told I couldn’t have a few of the salads so I skipped that. I had a bland version of Chicken Marsala and they brought that out with a side of plain GF noodles. Wasn’t exactly what I expected. I asked the waitress to put some red sauce on it, which she did, but when she returned the noodles were cold. I have been to other locations that went above and beyond and had GF bread!

The chef comes out and makes sure to answer all your questions. Your food is made separate from the rest so there is no cross contamination. Also flagged when it comes out so there is no mix up

Absolutely my favorite place to eat. I have never been sick there. I’ve been there so many times and the chef comes out each time. All their food is good but I highly recommend the chicken fettuccine, it won’t disappoint

Always a great place to get a consistently safe meal. Love that the chef comes out and talks to you about their current gf offerings. They have a separate preparation area.

As someone newly-diagnosed with celiac, I had a wonderful experience at Maggiano's. I was impressed that the servers immediately ask about food allergies. The chef came and spoke with us, then gave us his card, welcoming us to call him with any questions in the future. I was still able to order my favorite dish and found it delicious prepared GF. I was also impressed that our server offered me their GF dessert options. A great experience for someone new to all of this.

Chef Mike is phenomenal. Was accidentally served regular pasta as my take home and he had a sous chef bring me gluten free pasta at work the next day to make up for it! Amazing service! I love that I can feel safe eating here.

Had a wonderful time here. Waitress and chef were highly helpful, friendly, and understanding. Had salad with no croutons dressing was naturally gluten free. As for my main meal was told by chef all sauces are naturally with out gluten the only thing they change is its cooked in a different pot with special gluten free noodles and prepared separate from all other meals in the kitchen. The meal was amazing and service great. Will be going back more often.

We went to Maggianos this weekend, it was packed we made reservations and had to wait about 15 min, no big deal. When we sat down right away the waitress asked if we had any food allergies and I said yes in allergic to gluten, then she went on about I can have the chef come out or just order corn based noodles which was fine with me so I ordered spaghetti and I hate to say it but it was not good at all very dry and the noodles were hard :(. I've made corn based noodles many times and have had it at a few other places and had no problem, maybe next time we will try something else! On a good note they do not up charge you on having to order gf noodles, which no place should really we can't help we have Celiacs. Other then that the waitress was friendly but we waited for our drinks twice at least 10minutes but it was very busy!

just ask your server and the chef will talk to you about gf options. Most things on the menu can have gf pasta substituted. Everything is made separate so no cross contamination.

Beautiful Italian restaurant. My server was very kind and knowledgeable about the Gluten Free options. They don’t have a separate menu or any indications of any dishes being GF on the menu so you rely on your server. She suggested I get the GF Taylor Street Baked Ziti and it was delicious! Definitely coming back here when I get the chance.

This restaurant is amazing and the servers are very professional. I had a work meeting here, and my boss asked for the gluten-free menu( I have Celiac) . They had a separate menu, and they cooked everything separate , with no cross contamination. The manager came and talked to me and read the gluten-free menu.. She was very smart and careful. The food was wonderful, and the cream brulee was so yummy. I didn't get sick at all. 🤩

Even if it’s not nessesarily their nitch, These folks get G-Free & Celiac! And rarely are you going to find such care & consideration at such a classy atmosphere Restaraunt as this!

Dress up or casual… we saw the whole spectrum of customers here. Although, dressing up will really make a special night out here. Wonderful old time dinner music hits from the likes of Sinatra filled the low light pleasant & romantic venue. Once advised of our issues, our waitress Sheena (who, by the way, is a 5-Star Rock Star of a Server!) had the Chef at our table side in minutes, advising us on their abilities & limitations. Way more selection than one might anticipate, although less than we had seen at their Orlando location last year.

The gluten free Panne as Alfredo w/Chicken breast added was exquisite in appearance and taste….even as a next day leftover!!!

While I have never gotten sick at Maggianos in the past my pasta has been undercooked, and they do not offer many gluten free options.
