Amazing! GF is not on the menu but just ask! They have gf pasta
Jorge was our waiter. Very knowledgeable regarding gluten free, dairy free and cross contamination. Food was great, excellent service and great atmosphere! He checked several times to re assure that the kitchen was aware. Great experience, no reaction. We will be back!! Thank you!

Server Vlada was very knowledgeable and helpful! Great experience!
These folks know G-Free & Celiac! That + GREAT food & atmosphere = our new fab place in Orlando for Italian!!!!!
The waiter made recommendations, then had the chef come out and talk to me so that I got exactly what I wanted. Awesome experience!
5 stars! The staff was so happy to accommodate and friendly. All pasta can be changed to GF pasta and all sauces are automatically GF. Rigatoni D with GF pasta was amazing. 100% would recommend!
Had the Rigatoni D with gluten free penne pasta. Was phenomenal! Definitely would go back. Had fun cocktails too.
I love Maggiano's! They understand about gluten free and their pasta is amazing! I get the gluten free chicken alfredo penne pasta and it is the best I have ever had. I think they can do most of the pastas with gluten free penne so lots of choices. Everyone working there is super friendly and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I definitely recommend this restaurant!
I love Maggianos! They are super great with food allergies. Today we got takeout and all was exactly as ordered. GF Rigatoni D and GF Chicken Marsala. I wish they would add some additional GF desserts. I just order ice cream with their delicious caramel sauce.
Good number of gluten free options. Basically anything using made to order pasta they can sub with gluten free pasta. No gluten free bread though. I had the chicken Marsala and my son had chicken alfredo, both were delicious. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere was classic italian, very lively. More affordable than I anticipated for such a nice place!
Meal was very good. When we went recently they had only gf penne to replace in dishes. I’d had the impression they had more gf pasta options so my gf’ers were disappointed initially but food was good in the end. You just have to ask what dishes can be made gf and sub the gf penne for whatever traditional pasta is in the dish
Our waiter, Taylor, asked us almost immediately about any allergies (wheat, peanuts, and tree nuts) and proceeded to go through each of my allergies explaining what I can and can’t have. Every sauce is gluten free and almost every pasta can be changed to gluten free noodles! There were even some gluten free chips our waiter brought out in replacement of bread. The food was absolutely delicious and I have never felt better about my allergies when eating out! The experience and food was terrific!
The server asked immediately if there were any allergies and then explained what they do to accommodate
They told me almost everything could be made Gluten free. The exceptions were Lasagna and ravioli. Makes sense to me. Food was amazing! I has the shrimp scampi! Portions were also huge!
Really pleasantly surprised! Used the Nima on a Caesar salad and GF pasta and both came back fine. Good option in the area.
Unfortunately this place is not suitable for actual celiacs (perhaps for people that are gluten intolerant but defo not celiacs). I got very sick after eating here about 2 weeks ago and I'm still feeling the effects of the cross contamination. Now I must also say that all the staff were extremely attentive, helpful and friendly and I do think they tried everything to avoid any contamination, however in this instance whatever approach they took didn't work. It's a pity as this restaurant had all good reviews by this app so I assumed I would have no problems. I write this review very heavyhearted as I don't like to say bad things about places that have nice staff and that have tried but I feel it's important to warn any other celiacs that there's a cross contamination possibility here as I don't want more people to have a reaction. So please be careful.
Staff are knowledgeable and there were a lot of gluten free options. Not marked on the menu, but communicate with your waiter and they will help you customize your meal. Everything is made to order and it is super easy to modify dishes. The gnocchi can not be made gf because they are coated in flour, but other then that they have tons of options. They do have gf pasta and starter chips, in place of bread.
Outstanding service and flavour! Huge portions! ALL staff is very well trained in handling food allergies!
I ordered an Italian tossed salad(no croutons) and their signature “rigatoni D” with gluten free penne—it was sooo good:)
Gluten-free pasta or whole wheat penne available for substitution (570/690 cal)
$19.75
Our Famous Rigatoni "D"®
Herb-Roasted Chicken, Mushrooms, Caramelized Onions, Marsala Cream Sauce (1610 cal)
Food was amazingly delicious and attention to gluten free was fantastic.
Great for celiac. Go here. They will send someone dedicated to Celiac appropriate food to your table to work with you and the waiter. No issues.
This was my first dinner out as a Celiac. Man was I impressed with the level of respect from their staff. They are highly educated on Celiac. They have more options for GF items than they did years ago. Although, still lacking on GF desserts, but you can always get Creme Brûlée. Who doesn't like that? The food was amazing. Definitely plan to go back often!
They had some kind of chips for before dinner that were pretty good. I had the ziti & it was amazing! The atmosphere, the food, the people all 5 stars. I will return.
very knowledgeable about gluten free and very accommodating . the manager Mario and our waiter they are great.
Incredibly careful with your food. chef came out to talk to me about menu options and then the manager came to take my order on a giant yellow ticket that way they knew for sure it was an allergy ticket. I have a dairy allergy as well as celiac and there were many options. had veal and potatoes. was amazing. I will definitely be returning! !!
chef came to take if you call ahead they can make you meatballs with out bread crumbs
chef came ti the table. almost the entire menu available as GF. 5 stars.
I went here on a trip because of the EXCELLENT reviews. However, while they have GF pasta and ensure lack of cross contamination, I was brought the wrong pasta dish. I confirmed with both my waiter and the gentlemen that brought the food to me and they told me it was for sure GF. Then they came running back a minute later, after I had finally started to eat, telling me it was not! I still have three days of my trip left so we will see how I react. They were very apologetic and the manager and the chef stopped by. My meal was not charged but, as those with celiac know, nothing tastes good after knowing I had eaten "real" pasta :(
The gluten free pasta was amazing! The staff and atmosphere are also top notch! Glad they have one in my home state as well!
Service was amazing. I have celiac and the chef came out to tell me how the food would be prepared to ensure it was not cross contaminated. The flavor of the dish was absolutely fantastic.
extremely gluten free friendly! they have a separate kitchen for gluten free, and the chef even came out to reassure that. great food, and great service! deff recommended! ask for paul to be your server, you won't be disappointed (:
someone needs to change the price estimation for this place on this ap (more like $$$$), we were not dressed for this style of resteraunt! no gluten free menu. food and drinks were good, lovely place.
Had two takeaways from Maggiano's while on holiday in Orlando. They have gluten free penne which they can substitute in on most dishes. The barmaid, Sara, who took our order was very knowledgeable, and even remembered me and my gluten intolerance when my girlfriend went there alone the second time we ordered a takeaway!
Great selections for GF! Server was extremely knowledgeable. Chef was very accommodating. So many choices. One of the best selections. Great taste. Good dinner overall as well. Take GF very serious.
Wow, very attentive staff! The executive chef came out to take my order. They have GF chips they bring out at the same time as the complimentary bread for the others. Usually I stare longingly during this part of the meal but the chips were a lovely distraction. Maggiano's also also has lots of GF options and a delicious GF pasta.
Wow! This place is great, cool atmosphere. My first time to go to an Italian place since diagnosed 3 years ago. The chef came out to talk to me about gluten free and explained my options and how they prepare it. I had the GF pasta rigatoni D, which was delicious! My husband got the GF lobster carbonara which was super amazing. My daughter got chicks size GF pasta with Alfredo sauce and said it was the best pasta she's ever had! No reaction to the food and our waitress was great!!
Excellent service! The chef came out to the table and spoke about all the options that were available. I had the gluten free pasta which was fantastic, five stars all the way!!
Amazing food, great service. My only complaint is that they don't have GF bread!:(
Absolutely wonderful. Very good meal, waitress was attentive, house made chips were given in place of bread. I had lobster carbonara- just spectacular.
The chef came to our table to discuss my options w me. Sauces here are prepared GF & they can make most dishes by substituting corn pasta. Gr8 service, very knowledgable staff, incredible food. I love this place!
Great gluten free pasta!! The manager come out to get your order. Great experience every time!!!
Had a reservation and was seated 15 mins late. gf pasta was tough and extremely salty. so salty it was inedible. was taken off the bill but I went back to the hotel still hungry. However, I did not get glutened, so that deserves 3 stars.
Chef came out, and made a delicious meal. Whole family loved it! Chicken Alfredo with asparagus over GF penne, kids lived GF penne with meat sauce, husband loved Caesar salad and twice cooked potatoes. To top it off, Creme brûlée desert!! Yummy! We will be back!
soooo amazing definitely some of the best gluten free pasta!!! I had the pasta de mare with lobster, shrimp, mussels and clams with lobster cream sauce and it was amazing also chef came out to the table and.personally took my order
Maggiano's is one of the best GF chain restaurants I've ever seen. Even though it is a chain, every restaurant feels like a local eaterie. GF menu is extensive and plenty of options. Side Caesar salad is the best GF salad I've ever had. The GF pasta and meat sauce tastes great. Chef speaks with you about the GF options and makes sure that he knows dietary concerns. A+ rating! You have to eat here!
Wow what a great place to ear Gluten Free. I m Celiac and they were vary accomadating and knew what it took to avoid the cross contamination Great Service Brandon
The meat sauce is gluten free and they have a corn ziti pasta. Very good! Ordered take out and the staff is very knowledgable.
Reviews of this Chain
Went here and even after speaking with chef, GLUTEN noodles were served. 😡 don’t think we will ever return here. Has happened before. Disappointed.
Best food ever!! Had a great experience, the chef talked to me about my options and explained how everything would be safe!
I’ve eaten here twice and both times the chef came and spoke to me about precautions and safety. I got sick both times. I think if I try this place again I will bring my Nima sensor.
I ended up reacting to lettuce and Italian vinaigrette dressing which they told me was gluten free. If they can’t do that without cross contamination, I wouldn’t trust them with anything.
I ordered GF takeout pasta. They didn’t send the bread that came with the meals typically. The food was properly labeled GF. And I didn’t get sick! Ordered the Chicken Alfredo specifically. Would be willing to try it again!
