Staff were very knowledgeable about a gluten free diet and requirements. They didn't have much to offer on the lunch menu that was liked, so they provided a dinner menu to select from. The meal was also very nice.

Every time I eat here I feel extremely safe. The chefs and kitchen staff are very knowledgeable about gluten & cross contamination. Servers are great about double checking with the chef on duty. Gluten free items are labeled on the menu. There are even some items that can be made gluten free that aren’t marked gluten free. Great options of gluten free pasta & pizza. As well as main entre items. Let them know if it’s an allergy & they’ll make sure to make a special note on your food ticket & will be very careful. I always feel safe eating here.

Had the harvest risotto and it may just be the best thing I have ever eaten. So, so flavorful!

Staff was knowledgeable and was willing to verify with the chef if needed. Our waitress informed the kitchen we had true celiac disease so staff could take extra precautions. We ate here twice while in Chicago and had no issues.

There is a gluten - sensitive menu with a lot of options. I ordered the pear salad which was supposed to come with gorgonzola cheese. It ended up coming with blue cheese which will make me sick. The waitstaff did make a new salad I could take and give to someone else. Overall, not safe for people with celiac but could be okay for gluten sensitive.

The staff weren’t very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and what wasn’t. I originally was served meatballs with my pasta that weren’t gluten free. They gave me another one after that was gluten free. They have a gluten free menu which was nice

It is traditionally GF but nothing is grain or dairy free. The chef and staff do not understand a request for a grain free menu item. They recommended I eat a corn based spaghetti as it was the only item without dairy totally missing that corn is a grain and I explained I react to all grains. Dedicated frier but they do state on their menu they cannot prevent cross-contamination for everything is prepared in the same area.

Best gf pizza crust I've found. Leave it to Chicago! Pepperoni pizza and side salad were good.

Great outdoor seating here (if you arrive early) for a weekend date night. Friday's offer a 50/50 special... 50% off wines under $50 dollars. I enjoyed the GF pizza (came with lots of garlic - a bit heavy for me) and my husband had a burger with fried egg - which he enjoyed.

Bolognese is good. GF pizza is cooked in the same oven as non-GF. Overall have a fair amount of options and are aware of what could be problematic. Separate GF menu.

---Edit April 2024--- Be sure to talk to a manager about options. Items marked on the menu may come with sides that are cooked in a common fryer. Lowering my original safety rating.

---Edit Jan 2025--- We have since visited dozens of times, and each time the staff becomes more aware and accommodating. GF buns, pastas, salad, pizza, etc. It has become one of our more favorite places to eat.

Had a great experience! We went bowling and ordered food from the bowling area menu (Got the Italian Jambalaya.) Waiter was knowledgeable and menu is clearly marked with GF items. We didn’t get sick. Will definitely be back for a fun night out!

The GF pizza is not good. Crust is like cardboard. May have been given vegan cheese too.

I went here for a wedding and asked the server what was gluten free on the buffet. They told me nothing and offered a menu to purchase my own gluten free menu. I needed to order and pay for my own food before asking for a manager. My food ended up comped, but I felt humiliated in that situation.

Before my gluten/dairy issues my husband and I loved Pinstripes and celebrated a lot of our moments there. After my dx, I really wanted to find a way to make it work but it just doesn’t. The gluten free options all have dairy as a foundational element so literally the only thing I could have is the Cobb salad without cheese using the vegan dressing but there was confusion in the kitchen so my salad had to be remade twice. I also think they make their pasta and bread in house so the risk of cross contamination is high.
