Review of Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio

1020 W Madison St, Chicago, IL 60607

Overall Rating

Review


This place is great for gluten free, but not for Celiacs. There is cross contamination with their shared fryer so it eliminates some of the gf menu items. They do have a separate gf menu. My sister (who is also celiac) and I split the burrata e ham which was interesting. The crispy polenta served with this app didn’t really have any kind of flavor to it. She got the cacio whey Pepe with gf pasta which she said tasted like an adult mac and cheese. I got the pesto pasta with gf which was good if not a little underwhelming. We also split the double dipped forgotten cookie which was gf, it tastes like a macaroon which was fine. Decent experience overall, I personally think there are better Italian restaurants that offer gf food at a better price.
