Eataly

Fabulous GLUTEN FREE pizza in downtown Chicago. They cannot guarantee it won’t be cross-contaminated because it’s not a gluten free kitchen, but I did not get sick. The waitress actually asked if there were any food allergies. They also have a number of pastas that are gluten free that I would love to have tried. Downstairs, they have a bakery with at least two gluten free dessert options. I had this delightful chocolate dessert. It was all very, very good!

Unbelievable, have a wine whilst you shop. Incredible selection, love love love. Bellissimo

Stopped in for a work lunch, was a bit perplexed by the odd decor of the restaurant (seemed like an extreme winter scene in March) the server was knowledgeable and helpful with my questions relating to gluten free options, and he even followed up with the chef. The oddest thing he shared was they use the same water for boiling the regular and gluten free paste.....ummm....wait what? Same thing happened in London, I thought it was a cultural thing, clearly it is a choice by the organization to limit the number of people that can safely consume their pasta - I would love to understand the rational and hear how they think contamination wouldn't be harmful.
