Went for thanksgiving meal. Food was very good waiter had good knowledge of gluten free food. The menu was set so there was no gluten free desserts available but she went out her way to get me ice cream and strawberries. Lots of good options

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They had GF pasta. They told me to order anything from the menu and they’d make it GF. I got the chicken Francese, which, after making it GF, was just very thin chicken breast with a side of mash. Honestly though, it was delicious and I appreciated the effort.

Excellent service. Our waiter, Lewis, was very knowledgable about gluten-free aspects on the menu. All their pasta dishes can be subbed GF pasta. Sous Chef Edson came out to personally speak with me and make sure he understood my dietary needs. A really positive experience! I had the Rigatoni Arrabbiata with GF pasta - so good. Chef Edson also made us calamari but grilled instead of fried, and it was delicious. For my birthday, Lewis brought out a complimentary dish of vanilla ice cream (nornally they do cookies for special occasions.) We definitely plan to return especially since they have GF creme brulee!

Waiter asked about allergies before taking our order. Chef came out and talked to us to cover everything. They got my order confused and piccata came out instead of marsala, but we got it all sorted out in the end.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was very impressed with this place. The chef came out to speak to us personally after saying I had a gluten allergy. He discussed all of my options and was willing to prepare anything I wanted GF, which was incredible. Food was really, really good. LARGE portions. Not sure about how they handle cross contamination in the kitchen but I'm a sensitive celiac and I did not get sick. Definitely a great option when going out with a large group of non-celiacs.

I was very impressed. The waiter asked if we had any allergies without prompting. The chef came to the table to discuss what we could order. They could make many things gluten free. My girls had spaghetti with meat sauce. I had chix parm with grilled chix. (3 celiacs) They even had gf creme brulee. We loved it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

By far one of the best gluten free experiences we had while in Chicago! They don't have a separate gluten free menu, but they can make almost any menu item with gluten free pasta. The chef came out to our table and helped me plan my meal. It was fantastic!! We actually ate here twice, because it was that wonderful!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not only a great place to eat but they also have a dedicated GF area and the chef is very accommodating. They also have live entertainment several nights a week. One of the few Italian restaurants that is celiac friendly.

Awesome! Can adapt almost any pasta dish, subbing a wonderful corn ziti. Good prices and classic dishes are two for one ( one to take home). Huge potions (share) and giant creme brulee. Good for kids.

They can substitute gluten free pasta, but there are so many other parts of the dish and some contain gluten. The menu doesn't provide any clarity and the staff was not helpful, and why should they have to recite the menu to me? Just indicate in the menu was can be gf with the substitution.

That said, the steak I got was not that great.

I am not celiac. I do have an intolerance that makes me quite uncomfortable for several days after exposure. We had Thanksgiving dinner here, and I never had a problem. I have to say our server was fantastic. She helped me find dishes that I could eat, and was very attentive to my diet restrictions. It was fantastic. I did not eat the spaghetti because of the reviews on here. I do eat Barilla at home with no problems though. Idk.

They said it would be cooked separately but I still got sick. Got gf pasta (rigatoni D’s dish w gf penne). Would not recommend for serious allergies. Food was delicious but not worth it.
