Giordano's

I visited this location a week ago today in the evening for dinner. My husband, son, and I traveled to Oakbrook Terrace for vacation and we knew heading into downtown area would probably be busier and a lot more traffic which we were glad this location was about eight minutes from our hotel. When we arrived it looked very nice on the inside and we met three other guests who were with us. We were seated quickly and also given a high chair for my son. When our full party arrived we placed our order, the waiter gave me an odd look when I asked for gluten free noodles after calling earlier to review gluten free options. This did not give me high hopes. Everyone else ordered the cheesy garlic bread, a thin crust meat lovers, and a deep dish meat lovers. Now I am aware it takes a while to cook a deep dish pizza, however they messed up the order and made two thin crust pizzas and did not start the deep dish. At this point we waited for quite a while and they forgot the appetizer. The bread was brought out and it was extremely greasy and everyone else explained it was average and nothing special. The guys that ordered the deep dish opted to wait until they made the correct order. My meal was terrible and I have had a lot of gluten free meals including pasta dishes. The noodles were not cooked and still hard. I didn't even end up finishing. Our server also rarely checked on us and never asked how the food tasted. My husband said his thin crust was okay but we were not impressed for the price and we thought the food would be above and beyond. I do not plan on going back the next time we visit the area as we live about five hours away.

Even the gluten free was excellent
