Topo Gigio was a fantastic location for our large group. They were so accommodating! The staff was amazing and super attentive. The food was so good - and I really appreciate the gluten-free pasta options. The atmosphere was the icing on the cake!! Thank you for a wonderful experience while visiting Chicago!

Did not label dishes that had been modified as gluten free for take out on an order of 7 dishes that were partially GF and others regular. Not consistent when we called asking which entrees were gluten free or regular and just insisted that if the receipt was correct then that’s what we got. To me that just indicated that they received the order correctly but no indication that the dishes were correctly modified. A sharpie marking any indication on the top of the container would have solved this or train the staff to be knowledgeable about the shape of GF pasta used to alleviate any confusion. Marking the containers would have helped even the people that could eat gluten since they couldn’t figure out which dish was which until biting in and then having to trade. We were told 3 different pasta types it could have been and were told that if it wasn’t a particular pasta it was probably right - not a vote of confidence. They ended up hanging up on me and not offering any alternative or clarification just to come back to the restaurant if we were unhappy. Cannot recommend for celiac or gluten-free until they amend their processes, particularly for take out. Major disappointment after reading good reviews that this was good for gluten free and perhaps they are but for me attempting to eat the food wasn’t worth the risk of ending up sick for days.
