My boyfriend’s son has severe peanut and tree nut allergies as well as Celiacs. We called the day before and the manager, Jennifer, walked through the meticulous precautions they take to make sure he can eat safely. She went out of her way to watch for and make a note on our reservation. From the moment we stepped in the restaurant everyone was aware of his allergies and they even have a dedicated gluten-fee menu. Jennifer checked in with us and made sure we were doing well. The food was phenomenal, the service was phenomenal, and we were so grateful to be able to dine somewhere that truly understood his allergies. Highly recommend this restaurant! Thank you!

Maggiano was great! Not only was the food delicious, the service was excellent. I had the chicken saltimbocca. When seated, the waiter asked about if anyone had any food sensitivities and I’m severely gluten intolerant. He then invited the chef to come out to talk to me about my allergies/ sensitivity which was pleasantly surprising. Most chefs never do that. Overall, my boyfriend and I had a great time eating here. I’ll definitely come back again the next time I get to visit Chicago.

I ordered delivery from home so that it would arrive when I got to work downtown. The order came right on time, hot, delicious and with napkins, plastic cutlery and extra chili sauce. I could not have been more delighted. Tom Kha w/shrimp soup and Tom Sum salad were prepared perfectly and all the flavors were in balance! I appreciate how the menu gives allergen information. I’m Gluten Free and was able to clearly see which dishes would be safe for me to eat. Thank you, Star of Siam! I will be a repeat customer for sure!

How to sum it up, let's say I will back in September I hope as I was blown away with their special and they even had great gluten free pasta. For two people you won't break over 50$ which is very surprising. This is by far best pasta I've had since I last visited chicago. No doubts they have a great outdoor seating but my little one is messy haha Thank you for your great food please keep it up

I have a gluten-sensitivity - wheat allergy. When I came in, asked our waitress if there's any way the chefs can make me a "deconstructed lasagna"; basically all the yumminess of the filling with the GF noodles. The waitress came back and said the chefs would love to attempt something like that. It was DELICIOUS!! I will definitely be going back when I'm in Chicago again in a couple of months. Everyone there was over the top wonderful! The waitress, the host, the chefs, (obviously). The atmosphere was chill and fun. Pictures are: "deconstructed lasagna", spaghetti & meatball, and encrusted chicken salad.
