Top 50 Gluten-Free Pasta Havens Across Illinois

Nancy Ramos

First time ordering delivery for a Gluten Free pizza. The pizza was delicious and came in Gluten Free box as expected. Based on reviews pizza did not affect Celiac individuals. Based on reviews items are kept separate to avoid cross contamination. I hope it stays true to this so we can keep ordering it for our family. Thank you!

We recently used Sweet Ali for food to keep a celiac bridesmaid safe for an entire weekend. They also helped us with sweets for our vegan guests. Definitely recommend!

I could rant and rave about this pizza for hours. Their gluten free, stuffed deep dish is rediculously good. Dont even get me started on the gluten free calzones 😭 I've ordered delivery from here like 3 times this week, it's just so good!

Can’t see a brunch menu for them?

Beth Cummings

Always safe and so many options s

Kurt Hill

Love this place! They have gluten free, covered pretty well also. Food is excellent and the owner is usually hanging around enjoying his customers. Will definitely be back.

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!

We came here with my wife's parents for mother's Day dinner, and we had a great time. Our waitress was Edna and she was great! Due to a Celiac allergy, we felt comfortable with Edna 's knowledge of what was safe to eat and her recommendations were spot on, and we had some awesome food and a great time celebrating mother's Day. We highly recommend this place.

I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town. Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.

Kris Hamacher

Food is excellent, lots of gluten free options suitable for someone with celiac. Service is great, but it's very loud and overly crowded. Tables are extremely close and people are often yelling at each other, which isn't how I like to brunch. If you go early it's not as bad.

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.

By owner: "We are a dedicated Gluten Free Kitchen! We cater to many food allergies. We are a scratch kitchen, so most dishes can be modified or adjusted. We look forward to serving you!"

Esme Burrows

Just okay, not remarkable. Some dishes were good, nothing was spectacular. Gluten free pasta was undercooked and over salted. Staff were wonderful and very attentive.

Mary Biancalana

A fantastic Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Park Ridge! Fred was a friendly and knowledgeable waiter and everything we ate we had here was excellent. We appreciate the extensive gluten-free menu as our daughter has celiac. We had the Gluten-free cheesy garlic bread sticks, Rigatoni Napolitana, Gnocchi crema ala porcini,  gluten-free mostaccioli ala vodka sauce with chicken. Really big portions so we had plenty of food for leftovers.. They also had a wonderful selection of summer drink specials. I had the peach aperol spritz and it was so refreshing!

Matthew Weber

The food is always top-tier at this restaurant! We are particularly delighted with the options available for gluten-free, particularly their gluten-free pizzas which are indistinguishable from regular full gluten. Just tonight, we ordered a pizza and a pasta to share. The pasta came out with a strange, overly smoky and very large chunks of chewy bacon which we had asked to be cooked crispy, and they very apologetically, took the order back, and at no charge swapped it for a gluten-free pasta dish of a different variety and it’s to go container to take home. The drinks are delicious, and the atmosphere is really nice. Keep in mind that if the temperatures outside are very hot, the restaurant does struggle to maintain a comfortable temperature inside. I noticed this evening that the thermostat was set on 65 but the actual temperature was 83 in the restaurant. Because of the hot temperatures, I did feel some urgency to get out of there quicker than usual. The service is always impeccable, the food is wonderful, and it is worth the hour drive that we often make to enjoy this restaurant.

Michael Scanlon

First issue was the lack of understanding of celiac. I get that my fiancée having a disease is our limitation but this restaurant was supposed to be good about it. We explained about how even cross contamination makes her sick and the 2nd thing we ordered was brought out and when we asked if it was fried (Brussel Sprouts) they said yes and we asked if it was a shared fryer and they said yes. So she couldn’t eat it. (When we already explained that she would get sick from cross contamination, this was a major oversight by the waiter). They also had very small portions of the pasta dishes and the prices were way higher than they should be given the quality of food being just okay. Really disappointed overall.

Dori D

Always a wonderful experience. We shared a salad, pasta course, main course & dessert ; everything came already divided which was so nice. My guest has a gluten allergy and we had plenty of options, no problem

Jenn and Ryan Goggans

Best gluten free Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to. Gluten free chicken Parmesan is to die for

Neva West

Hands down, the best gluten-free pasta in Chicago, and the rest of the menu is great too. They have a nice little summer patio and super cozy inside space in the winter. Wait staff are always personable and professional. Nice Italian wine list with some unusual offerings.

John Edwards

This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants! Make sure to try their bacon wrapped dates. My wife loves their gluten free bread. Bon appetite!

Tamiko N.

This spot is amazing—had on my Google list for a while!!! They do no processed foods and have a separate menu for vegan/vegetarian/gluten free-win! The meals ordered were super flavorful, filling and just the right portions! I loved the Vegan Fungi With Cauliflower hash—the addition of the cranberries and sweet potatoes was an added savory bonus! My friend also loved the maple Turkey sausage and the pancakes- that were thin instead of fluffy! They loved it! We left pleasantly full and at peace! Last but not least, we both loved our waiter who was super attentive and patient too! Will definitely come back and bring more people!

We had supper for 6 of us and Erika was our waitress on Friday the 14th at 730pm .this was at stromburg mall I don't have receipt so want to make sure correct store gets the review.she was very professional but extremely friendly. I have celiac and she made sure my meal was OK and had the steak cooked exactly like I wanted no seasonings just butter keeps away seasoning I can't have.she was on top of making sure we had a great experience. We highly recommend your restaurant.we took cheesecake home to full to eat then. they were awesome delicious 😋 I just hope Erika gets credit for amazing service when cheesecake factory responded nothing was said about her .she made our dining experience so much better she made sure we had everything we needed kept drinks full checked on us a lot please make sure she gets recognized for being an outstanding employee.

Paul Rzepka

Nice place with a separate gluten free menu and lunch specials. Something for everyone with sushi and Italian in one restaurant.

Sophia Davis

My bridal shower here was nothing short of perfect! From the gorgeous mimosa bar to the amazing selection of gluten-free brunch options, everything was absolutely spot on. The staff was so accommodating, making sure everything went smoothly. We had about 35 people and took over the main dining space, which was just the right size—spacious yet intimate. The whole vibe was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting to celebrate with my favorite people. I couldn’t have asked for a better day!

Tiger Paton

Don’t believe the exterior. Delicious and flavorful food, big portions, great waitstaff. Tons of gluten free options. The tableside salad bar is cool too. Definitely will be back!

Ashley Ryan

Cliff was a great server!!! It was a great dinner. I am gluten free and he made sure I had a safe plate and a great time! Thanks cliff!!

Jessica Horn

Gluten sensitivity but server was VERY knowledgeable about ensuring food safety. Music was amazing. Outdoor dining clean and fun. Highly recommended.

Setareh Kaikavousi

Great food and service. The small pasta plate option is great. Some great choices on drink menu with reasonable pricing. They also have a separate gluten free menu.

Emily Wienhoff

We have been here a few times and had a nice time. My only complaint was that last time they provided me a Gluten Free roll In a plastic bag, but it was moldy. I do appreciate that they had an option for me, however. They have a great selection of foods and drinks and the atmosphere is upbeat and cozy.

Lori Drummond

Wonderful for celiacs!

Janet Newton

This restaurant serves great vegan food - it’s healthy, full of flavor and innovative! The food is cooked fresh. My non-vegan lunch partners tell me the non-vegan food is also great. I highly recommend these folks if you are looking for a hearty healthy tasty meal - especially if you are vegan/vegetarian/gluten issues or allergies!

Joanna Benkowski

Haven't been out lately due to several circumstances. Finally had a double date with some very good friends. The food, service and cozy vibes were so fantastic. And needed. Zane was out server, and he was excellent. We spent a good bit of money, but it was well worth it. Also had a gluten free pizza (focaccia) and pasta that was in no way less-than. That really bowled me over as a GF person. Thank you!

carmen Hernandez

My first time here I tried the Chicago Burger I was so excited to find a gluten free spot and so happy the food was so delicious . You can't tell the difference the burger was plant based and tasted just like a grilled burger. Certainly not the last time I'll be back for the chicken sandwich and banana split. All gluten Free ! ❤️

Kaitlyn -Meier- Harrier

Really glad we found this place!! We were glad for the gluten free options — best gf pizza crust we’ve had and the ingredients were super flavorful. They even let us know their pasta is corn based and their pizza is rice based - so helpful to know! We also had a gf chocolate mousse :) the whole group keeps saying this place was an awesome find!!

Kourtney Scott

They have gluten free and vegan options and if you ask for something with out cheese they still put it in there and I didn't trust that the croutons were vegan and gluten free since they can't read. If you have allergies please do not eat here they don't take it seriously!!!

Genesis S

Absolutely amazing. This is a great restaurant for anyone who has dietary restrictions (needs dairy free, gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, etc). I tend to eat dairy and gluten free due to some intolerances and I’ve never had a bad reaction here. There’s not one bad thing on the menu. I highly recommend their entrees and desserts. I’m addicted to their vegan chocolate tort.

Mike Mueller

The salmon and shrimp risotto was perfectly prepared and delicious. My partner got the Venetian Chicken Salad and it was also amazing. Presentation was beautiful and the dining room is elegant and not noisy even when busy. Our waitress was very attentive and our meals were served quickly even though the restaurant was busy and had a large private group. Everything was wonderful. There are many gluten free choices including pastas, pizzas, risottos, seafood, and steak options.

Kimberly Cooper

New & expanded gluten free menu is so appreciated as someone with celiac disease.

Lyn Steagall

Biaggi's has the largest gluten free menu I have ever seen. From appetizers to dessert. The food is fantastic! The staff are kind.

Danielle Lloyd

Connor was a great server! They were super friendly about dietary restrictions despite a gluten and tomato allergy!

Joy Johnson

A gorgeous restaurant with fantastic food! Gluten free diners will rejoice at the options available. As soon as I said I was wheat allergic; the server detailed the kitchens designated prep area and all of the precautions they take to ensure a safe meal is delivered. This location has plenty of parking, is handicap accessible and can accommodate a larger party or 6-8. Any more than that I would call ahead. Highly recommend this place if you have special dietary restrictions. They were knowledgeable and the service was outstanding.

Food Review: Cooper’s Hawk – Springfield, IL As a long-time fan of Cooper’s Hawk locations in St. Louis, MO and Orland Park, IL, I was truly looking forward to a special Mother’s Day dinner at the Springfield, IL location. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t meet expectations. We had an early reservation, yet service was sluggish from the start. After an extended wait, we had to flag down our waiter just to receive our dinner orders. One of the entrées arrived incorrect, though to their credit, the staff corrected it promptly. I was happy to see a gluten-free menu with several promising options. I ordered the gluten-free gnocchi chicken carbonara, but it fell flat—lacking the flavor and finesse I’ve come to expect from Cooper’s Hawk. The salad we ordered felt underwhelming in both size and value, and while I specifically asked for gluten-free bread, it never arrived. Service continued to be spotty. We had to track down our waiter repeatedly, and the final straw came when I opened my leftovers the next day. The lettuce wraps I had saved were a total mess—soggy and inedible, with the lettuce buried under wet toppings. A careless presentation that resulted in the entire appetizer being tossed. Cooper’s Hawk is typically a favorite of mine, but this particular visit was a disappointment from start to finish. Between the inattentive service, lackluster food, and sloppy packaging, I won’t be returning to the Springfield location.

Daniel Rucci

Great food and wine. Good kids menu. Good gluten free and dairy free options. New facility. Friendly wait staff. We are regulars!

We chose Cooper’s Hawk Arlington Heights to celebrate our anniversary, and it turned out to be a wonderful decision. It was our first time at this location, and from the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. They seated us in a cozy booth and surprised us with complimentary bubbles to toast our special day right from the start! Our server, Sean P., truly elevated our experience. His knowledge, honesty, and spot-on recommendations made our evening unforgettable. Every dish and drink we enjoyed was simply delightful. I opted for the surf & turf with drunken shrimp and churrasco grilled steak, both cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. My husband ordered the Caesar salad and filet mignon, which were equally impressive. For dessert, we indulged in the chocolate cake with hazelnut ganache that was unbelievably delicious—and Sean even informed us it was gluten-free, a pleasant surprise given its rich taste and texture. To complement the cake, he brought us a sample of dessert wine, which paired perfectly. Needless to say, we can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Gluten Free seekers! this is THE place for you! Had our B-day party and enjoyed it very much. We were so happy to find GF chicken fingers!! the servers are the best and the place is very high level looking - clean, spacy, welcoming and even the kids were calm and quiet.

Emily Roarks

Wonderful experience! My husband and I used to frequently the champaign location often before they closed so I was very excited to try the Bloomington location and it did not disappoint! We had two small issues. One with some dirty Silverware and one with undercooked salmon and the wait was AMAZING! He was quick to fix the issue and very kind. The vegetable banana curry was amazing and my husband's bacon and egg burger looked delicious! They had quite a few gluten free options so that was also a plus! 10/10 recommended, we will definitely be coming back.

Really nice place to host a gathering. Staff is very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They do not have any gluten free options but they made me a salad that fit my dietary needs. They are willing to work with you so you can find something to eat.
