Maggiano's

Not great service here, they have gluten free pasta and sauce but no rolls. When I asked the server if the meatballs were gluten free she said they were and then said they have “a little bit of bread crumbs but that’s it” in them. Clearly the staff is not well trained on allergies.

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went with 8 other people, so we ordered Family Style. The waiter brought me a Gluten-Free version of the 3 of the items we ordered. The sautéed calamari was good. The Grilled Chicken Piccata was lacking flavor, it just needed a little more lemon sauce. The Braised Beef with Gluten-Free Penne instead of Pappardelle was excellent, I don’t know what brand of gluten-free pasta they used but it was the best I’ve ever had. For dessert, the waiter brought me a dish of strawberries since we ordered Cheesecake and Hit Apple Crostata. The only item I couldn’t eat was the Chef’s Italian Antipasti and I chose not to eat the Salmon.

Our waitress was phenomenal! They offer gluten free pasta and all the sauces are gluten free so there are a ton of options. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the mood for a great Italian meal!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a great experience! As soon as I told them the waiter went and got the kitchen manager to make sure nothing got lost in translation for my restrictions. Rigatoni D pasta with gluten free pasta cooked in separate pasta water. They were great!

I went to Maggiano's after seeing all the wonderful reviews. I was so excited to be able to take my husband there for his birthday since it is one of his fave's; And since finding out about my gluten intolerence 6 months ago we haven't gone out to dinner much as I've been learning what to look out for. Unfortuantley, my experience was far different than the positive reviews I read. I told the server right away about my intolerence, she seemed very non chalant about it and quickly said the sauces are free and penne, then she set the bread basket down between us. I asked her very nicely to clarify that penne was the only pasta option and she said yes. I ordered the Rigatoni D since I thought it was a good choice served with Penne. Luckily, I know my pastas because they brought me out the Rigatoni without the GF pasta! I said something to the food runner and she confirmed it was not GF and seemed confused as if it wasn't notated on my order. About 6 minutels later while my huisband sat looking at his pasta getting cold mine finally arrived.

I will give it one more shot for him just in case it was just the server who created a bad experience, but needless to say we were very disappointed. (and also, being Italian myself I really wish they had more choices than just Penne.. it would be plain wrong to eat certain sauces over penne... lol)

I wish my experience was like the one the other reviews related. my waiter had no clue about GF options beyond substituting the pasta for a gluten free pasta. When the pasta came out it was ice cold and the pasta was hard as a rock. The waiter wasn't even apologetic. There are way better choices out there!!

Celiac friendly?

No

this an amazing place to eat!!

the chef comes to my table and makes me a special gf meal. never had any problems. only complaint is i eat too much!

Gluten free pastas, many gluten free sauces

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.

We love Maggianos! We eat there for all of our special occasions. The have penne pasta they can mix with almost any sauce. The Creme Brule is very good too. If you tell them you are gluten free the chef will also come out to the table and explain their safety precautions and answer any questions you might have. Definitely recommend.

Perfect dining experience with attention to detail, attentive staff. My wife is gluten intolerant and service was well versed in options and allergies, asking right upfront. They have plenty of selections for gf. All the food was wonderful. Special nod to the bar , as their drinks , we had an old fashioned and mojito, and they were very good. They were also attentive to time and ensured we had plenty of time for our show. They can handle many large groups, the space is big. Coming back soon! Literally.
