Maggiano's

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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!!

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.

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was nice- stated they could make almost any of the pasta dishes gluten free minus the stuffed pastas. They brought us out gluten free bread to start which was awesome! I had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and it was good, not great. Had to add seasons. The chicken was pretty bland. They do send you home with another pasta dish on top of the one you ordered at no extra cost which is awesome!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was delicious! Very accommodating, the chef came out to speak to me about all of my options, and I enjoyed the food I ordered! I will definitely be coming back here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All of the sauces are GF and they have a GF penne. Staff is knowledgeable about what is and is not GF.

I had the baked ziti and it was delicious. Did not get sick. Generous portion. Our waiter was extremely attentive to our gluten allergy and offered other options to compensate for items we couldn’t have. Excellent service and great food

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not only did they have tons of gluten free pasta that the chef talked personally to me about, and not only did it taste amazing, they fresh baked gluten free bread for me. Absolutely amazing, and I love coming here for anniversaries.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was great and knew what I could eat. I ate here two nights in a row (I was a conference) and had a great experience with both bartenders. I got pasta both nights (yahoo!) and it was yummy. Definitely recommended for celiacs if you are in town—just make sure you speak up about your allergy!

I ordered a gluten free pasta Mediterranean. It tested positive low gluten on the Nima tester. They sent the 👨‍🍳 who was unable to understand why it would test positive. They were nice and made me the plain garden salad as I requested. It was good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable about celiac & there was a good selection of gluten free dishes. My daughter was able to eat a delicious, safe meal AND they made gluten free bread for her!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good GF pasta with delicious marinara sauce. Chef came to the table as soon as we told our waiter we were GF. Chef personally makes GF meals as part of their protocol. He asked questions to confirm no other allergies as well. We've been back several times, and it was great every time. We will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love, love, live Maggianos. This location pays attention to detail, we felt safe eating here and everyone loved their food. The chef came out to take my daughters order (she has celiac disease). We’re planning to go back next weekend. Also, the wait staff is perfectly attentive, very helpful and super nice.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The chef personally explained the precautions he takes in the kitchen for my GF pasta: dedicated pot, fresh water, clean tongs, etc. The meal was yummy and I didn't feel sick!

Celiac friendly?

No

I am recently diagnosed. I had shrimp scampi once with GF pasta and it was good. Another occasion, I had GF pasta with Alfredo, I found regular fettuccine noodles throughout about mid way through. Won’t be eating it again any time soon.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What an experience! We had six gluten-free members in our party of 16. I had set up a menu were at least half of the dishes could be done gluten-free and they went above and beyond doing the entire menu gluten-free. We tested several of the dishes with our Nima sensor and they all came out gluten-free. Our waiter Addison was very knowledgeable about celiac disease. It was a wonderful experience for our party to be able to try so many different dishes and not get sick. Highly recommend the chop salad, spinach and artichoke dip, chicken piccata which they made a gluten-free version, the braised beef falls apart with your fork and The crème brûlée is fabulous! Highly recommend this restaurant for gluten-free and not gluten-free parties!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac . Very knowledgeable staff . We tested our GF pasta w Nima and it was safe .

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great GF options. The waiter asked if we had any dietary restrictions. When I said I had celiac, one of the chefs came to our table to explain the options. This was on Christmas Eve! It put me at ease as I was very nervous about eating out on such a busy night.

Celiac friendly?

No

I used to love this place and never had a problem until today. I just got so gluten sick immediately after eating here. Maybe i didn’t specify my allergy clearly enough but if you go here make sure you do.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the BEST pasta with Alfredo sauce, as someone with celiac it was so nice to be able to eat one of my old favorites. The chef even came out and talked with me about all of my options and was very accommodating. Will definitely be back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is a must! The chef came to my table told me what he recommends and what he can do. Mainly any thing on the menu he can make gluten free. I got the big ziti! Also had gluten free bread rolls. I will definitely be coming back to this place!

Celiac friendly?

No

Ate here for a work function, all employees promised that the gluten free options were easily available and the food tasted great coming out. Unfortunately this location must have no idea what cross-contamination is because I'm suffering from my typical glutening symptoms. Ate the ceasar salad without croutons, grilled chicken and veggies, and the creme brulee. Do NOT eat here if you are celiac or have a very low gluten tolerance.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The chef comes out to the table to verify what they are making and that gluten is not in it. They are aware of cross contamination. This makes me feel much more comfortable. Delicious food and many options!

Celiac friendly?

No

Not gluten friendly. They could care less. The food tasted horrible. Will not return

I had a really good experience here. I got gluten free baked ziti and my friend got regular ziti. I was really freaked out because there were no indicators/markers on the plate to show the difference. But the waiter explained the difference in pasta used for gluten free meals. I ate it and had no issues.

Celiac friendly?

No

I’m intolerant, don’t have CD, and I got sick here twice. I stick to a Low FODMAP diet, so perhaps it was an allium and not a gluten issue. But in either case, I did not feel the server took my food issues seriously. I live nearby and my son loves it here, but we won’t be back.

Celiac friendly?

No

NOT Celiac friendly. The GF pasta is cooked in the same water as the regular pasta, contaminating it and making it no longer GF!

The staff was very accommodating here! I did family style with a large group and they were able to bring me gluten free options of every course.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious gf pasta. Be sure to let them know you’re celiac

Celiac friendly?

No

I ordered a gluten free pasta and had several regular pieces of spaghetti mixed in. The chef and manager came to the table to apologize, comped the meal, and offered gift cards to come back. The chef essentially said it was a “busy night in the kitchen and a noodle might of fallen in.” Yet there were several mixed throughout. I’m not sure if they use the same utensils or it’s pre made sauces. I thought it might be a fluke thing but apparently this has happened to almost every person who ordered GF. Do yourself a favor and avoid the pasta dishes- aka don’t eat here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pasta taste amazing, chef comes out and talks to you before making your meal

Told several staff members that I have Celiac and need gluten free. I was given regular pasta. Spent the evening sick in the bathroom.

For a Celiac, the chef coming out and paying attention is a no-brainer. Had an issue with take out once because just dealing with that person, who was new, so be super clear, but no issues with in restaurant ever.

We heard this restaurant was rated the best chain for folks with allergies and I saw many great reviews on Find Me Gluten Free so we went in with high hopes. I was very disappointed by how few options I had to choose from. They do not have gluten free bread (so no bruschetta), most of their appetizers are breaded and/ or cooked in a shared fryer. They have ONE GF pasta choice (penne) that they can convert SOME of their dishes with. The pasta wasn't cooked well and was a bit rubbery. Limited dessert menu but I will say they do a great creme brulee.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really pleasantly surprised! Used the Nima on a Caesar salad and GF pasta and both came back fine. Good option in the area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Was in town for a conference and so glad I ate here! Not only was it delicious, there were SO many options and our server right off the bat asked if anyone had a food allergy. He then explained what I could eat or modifications that could be made, and upon ordered my salad (the chopped starter salad - which was DELICIOUS!) and our server suggested I leave off the crispy pancetta because even though it itself is GF, it was apparently cooked in a fryer shared with the calamari so he suggested I omit it from my salad which was so appreciated! Portions were huge, food was delicious, and atmosphere was neat. Definitely book a reservation ahead of time if you can - we had one and by the looks of the line it saved us a lot of time. Definitely would return here!

Delicious gluten free food! Amazing service! The waitress notified the chef of our dietary restrictions and the chef came to our table and spoke directly to us, giving us options to choose from. After the meals were served, the chef returned to ask us how everything was. The waitress also returned a few times to ask how everything was. The dinner was delicious and I will definitely return to Maggianos next time I visit Las Vegas.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Who would’ve thought Maggiano’s was able to successfully accommodate someone with Celiac?? Well they can! (At least at this location). I hadn’t been to a Maggiano’s since I was diagnosed and was a little skeptical. But they blew me away. The manager Jake personally went over the options and along with our server Katie, made sure my meal was safe. Caprese appetizer, gf pasta (ALL of their sauces are GF), and even creme brûlée dessert. Perfect meal, absolutely delicious with no reaction. Can not wait to go back!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am so impressed! Not only was our server familiar with celiac disease, but the chef actually came out to speak to us about our planned order, providing personal recommendations and a great explanation of how they safely prepare gluten free dishes. This was such a great experience, and the first to make this celiac’s dining experience a relaxed one!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic experience! Chef Brandon came to our table to tell me what was safe and to take my order. He also offered me a gluten free bread loaf and a complimentary GF appetizer. I have a wonderful meal. The staff was amazing. Highly recommend this place! We’ll be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chef Alex came out and inquired specific allergies. Grilled chicken and veges-delicious. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good with gluten-free, especially celiac. Food is fantastic, and you get get one to take home for FREE!

Celiac friendly?

No

I’ve eaten here 2 times. The first time I ordered pasta and had no problems with it and it was delicious. The second time I ate there, I ordered the same meal and noticed the noodles were a different type than the last time. When I asked about it, I found out that they had given me non gluten free noodles. Luckily I hadn’t eaten any yet. They fixed the mistake and brought out the correct meal, which I had no problem. Staff needs to be more attentive. I won’t go back.

The first time I went here, they told me they could make chicken parm gluten free, so I ordered that. Well, what I got was an unseasoned piece of grilled chicken with an unmelted piece of cheese on top and some tomato sauce. Not good. The second time I went here, I ordered gluten free pasta. The pasta was undercooked, the sauce was watery and bland. I’ve never gotten sick from eating here, but the food is awful and I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing GF pasta with lots of variety and options! Staff was very helpful and understanding.

They seem to try to be careful about cross contamination. Two out of our three GF dishes came out correctly. They put croutons on the salad. The food was blah though. We won’t be back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Our server was not well informed.... got sick - everyone else seems to have had good experiences

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chef comes to your table to understand your dietary restrictions and then custom prepares and cooks you a meal. 100 percent celiac safe when you talk to the chef. The food taste great and the service is excellent!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Tonight my husband and I shared the chicken parmigiana and the grilled chicken caprese salad both were made gluten free. It was so delish. The chicken parmigiana was “breaded” in crushed potato chips and it was sooooo crispy. After I ordered everything gluten free with the waiter, the sous chef (who was preparing our meal) came out and talked with me about the food and any other allergens I needed to be careful of. The restaurant can get busy and they take reservations with a minimum of an hour before.

Celiac friendly?

No

Ate at Maggiano’s in the Springhill Mall. We’ve had no problem with Maggiano’s anywhere else, and have always been told that sauces were gluten free with the gf pasta. At this location, we were told every sauce had gluten except for marinara. We were also told that mashed potatoes had gluten. We lost faith that the chef even knew what gluten was and decided against ordering anything for our two celiac children.

Gluten free pasta and GF sauces are delicious!

It's hit or miss, got GF pasta, a piece if regular pasta was stuck to the bottom of the plate. They were like, oh well. I was sick.
