Top 50 Gluten-Free Accommodating Spots to Enjoy in Chicago

Rebecca Manning

Absolutely horrible. GF pizza crust was so hard you couldn’t bit it or even cut it. No seasoning what so ever. Cheese was rubbery. Regular pizza is even worse. Way overpriced for crappy pizza

Ryan Wantland

Pretty good pizza, great service, a little overhyped. 30-45 minute wait on a Saturday evening without reservations…not bad. We were served small samples while we waited which was much appreciated. We shared the Salsiccia e broccoletti to start which was absolutely delicious. The Italian sausage was full of flavor and rapini was excellent. My Cafona pizza was pretty underwhelming. Tomato sauce was too watery which soaked through most of the undercooked crust. My partner loved their gluten free Fiorentina! Good GF crust is hard to find.

Our server, Nicki, was great. The gluten free pizza was delicious. I ordered the Chicago classic.

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!

Lise

Absolutely the BEST GLUTEN FREE meal! From meatballs & onion rings to pasta and then topped off with the gooey chocolate chip cookie for dessert!

Gary Young

Great food and shrimp with grits gluten free especially tasty

Merve Naja

Ramen is delicious! They have rice noodles for gluten free. They also have Sapporo on tap, Two Brothers gluten free beer and few other gluten free options as well. Ramen are huge. It gets very busy on weekend nights but service is fast. We ate sitting at the bar and it was fun.

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.

Madysen Bohman

To start, extremely rude staff. Also, I have celiac and they only had one option for me and it was the worse donut I’ve ever had. And to make it better, as my boyfriend was paying we ordered an uber that was 2 min away and were immediately kicked out in the cold weather. There are definitely way better places to spend your money and to also have good gluten free options. If I could rate this a zero I would.

Derek Dirks

Absolutely love this place! The gluten free pizza crust is amazing. Highly recommended!

Hailey Weeg

Food was amazing! Great gluten free options

Rachel Dawes

Excellent authentic Viatnamese. Entire a-la-carte menu is GF. Ordered the Bún Chả Hanoi with spring rolls, delicious!

TLC 2

Great experience at Pizzeria Uno. Medium deep dish easily feeds 2 people. Numero Uno pizza was delicious. All the toppings were cooked perfectly and were so fresh. We ordered bbq chicken pizza with gluten free crust and the gluten free crust is thinner than the regular deep dish.

Kaleigh Dolan

Wow! Food was incredible. We went for restaurant week and the menu was very pork heavy, but so delicious. The Pig Face dumplings were the best bites of the night. The restaurant week menu is so much food, you will leave stuffed. We added on the Crab Rangoon which was incredible. Freshly friend puff pastry with real crab, I would go back just for those! The dessert is not too miss either. We had a gluten allergy in our party and our waiter (Dan) went above and beyond in accommodating her, we will definitely be back. I got a tequila cocktail "Pink Panther" (?) and I would skip it next time, nothing to write home about for 17$.

Jennell Lemmons

Service was wonderful. I have celiac and when I asked our server Ryan to explain what menu option I couldn't have, he wrote right on the menu for us so I didn't have to memorize everything he explained. Every dish we had was simply wonderful flavors!

Alexys Kelsey

Cool date night spot. Options for everyone! I am gluten free (intolerance not allergy) and had no issues. I really loved Madai and I always love me some Chicago RAW. It was really nice to have the greenhouse-like glass roof above us, but I felt like some nice ambient music would have been a good addition. The service is was very polite and speedy.

Our family of 5 had the pleasure of dining at Bavette’s in Chicago last night. From the beginning they were very accommodating. Our server Steven was knowledgeable about the menu and even gave me gluten sensitive subs as requested. He was also kind when my son (8) hit his soda over by accident (we know this is annoying) this was important to us as our son already felt bad about it. His recommendation for the main lobster for our 10 yo son was spot on for what he wanted. The truffle Mac and cheese was a huge hit with everyone. Steaks came out perfectly cooked the entire way through - we ordered 3 different steaks with different requests. Highly recommend and if you get Stevens section I know you won’t be disappointed Jessica

I ordered gluten free pancakes, and when I went to tell them it was “a gluten allergy” (I have celiac disease) she didn’t understand. My boyfriend tried telling her and she replied by saying , “she ordered gluten free pancakes.” with no confirmation it was safe to order. She then proceeds to collect our menus and throw them on the table next to us??? The server was overall rude and snappy despite being nice when we walked in. The taste of the pancakes wasn’t even worth the price or risking getting sick. I’m leaving this review right after leaving, so I have no idea yet if it’ll actually get me sick. I REALLY wanted to love this place since it is so iconic. I’m so disappointed!!:(

Amazing arepas. Always good quality food. Not super fast but it's worth the wait. Gluten free

MERVE NAJA

Fantastic food and service! We ordered through door dash, everything was great. The bad apple burger is fantastic, I had it on gluten free bun which was great, it was holding well and not crumbly. The fries were also fantastic, which is rare because fries don’t travel very well, I am sure they are even more amazing when eaten at the restaurant. We also had the fried cheese curds and the chocolate mousse, both of them were perfectly executed. I requested my gluten free burger to be marked on the notes and someone from staff called me on the phone to make sure that they understood my request correctly, I am grateful for the sensitivity. Hats off to the chefs back in the kitchen and thanks! Hopefully we can go and dine in too.

emily motta

So amazing! The chefs and server were so catering to my Celiac disease. Amazing food :)

Luis

Food taste good, service is also good. The table where we were seat was kinda of small. Prices seem to be kind of high and they also charge you 20% upfront for the service. They don't offer gluten-free toast or pancakes.

Amanda Whittington

DELICIOUS gluten free crepes!! 10/10

Beth Cummings

Delicious food, lots of options

Ava Davis

I’m so happy we found a great Philly cheesesteak place!!! We’re definitely going to become regulars. I love that they have a gluten free bun option that can actually hold the sandwich together and not just crumble away like most gluten free breads do. The rocky is really great but the authentic is even better. The vegetarian option is really good too!

Meg P

I do NOT recommend for gluten allergies. They have an amazing menu. However, transitioning from no gluten allergy to allergy dining here post diagnosis they have super limited options and their Andros seasoning contains gluten! Why?! It’s not necessary.

Everything about this restaurant was amazing, the atmosphere, the staff and the food. Our server Luis was awesome. The ham & cheese stuffed French toast was delicious as was the biscuits and gravy. They also had some great gluten-free options for my daughter. It was within walking distance to wrigley field so it worked perfectly for us to eat there prior to the game.

Olia

Absolutely loved this place! The food was 100% vegan with a few gluten free options as well! Everything had a great flavour and tasted very fresh! There was limited parking on the street. The atmosphere was really great! And the waiter was phenomenal. I would definitely love to come back !!

Emily Theis

Uvae is a gem. Love the happy hour oysters and bubbly. Some favorite dishes are the charcuterie board (the lavender honey!), brussel sprouts, cauliflower, scallops, shrimp + grits, chicken thigh... honestly we've liked everything! Cocktails are balanced and creative. Emma is a wonderful, personable server with top-notch wine recommendations, and was very accommodating to a gluten-free family member. I really appreciate that they have a few mocktails on the menu too. Chef Whitney is thoughtful, talented, and doing super cool things: last night we had a beet hummus plate with veggies and sesame tapioca crisps. It looked like an art piece and tasted like heaven; we were scraping our plates. The vibe is cozy and unpretentious. Go spend your money here!

The miso soup was great and started the meal off on a high. Sadly the sushi course was disappointing. The fish was mediocre at best (saba and medai), uni was bland, avocado in my roll was not ripe. Too much rice on the nigiri and overcooked. Tea was tasty and refilled regularly. They had gluten-free soy and were communicative about gluten in dishes. Service was great. Sadly it was overpriced for the quality of the food being served. Won’t be going back.

Avli brunch never misses, my boyfriend and I have become regulars. Wait staff is amazing, Dimitri and Alekos always take great care of us. Recommend the dip trio and breakfast sandwich! Also has gluten free pita

Kareena

Great spot — highly recommend! Beautiful decor and ambiance with solid drinks and food to match. What we ordered: Whipped feta with truffle honey — delicious Feta pistachio pesto Gluten-free spiced beluga lentils Drinks were great too. If you’re into something on the sweeter side, try the Lavender Knees Bees. All around, 10/10

Stefano Andreon

Very good gluten free pizza. 49 dollars for a pizza and a coke (very small, indeed, not even 250 ml) is too much.

Megan Benjamin

A lot of gluten free options! Quite delicious, though some dishes are a bit small compared to others. The soup is easily 3 portions.

Kimberly Ruffin

Call in an order to go for four people. Got home and realized the labels on several of the trays were wrong so then had to do a mix and match to figure out if we actually got what we ordered. I'm come to find out that we actually had the food we ordered they just mislabeled the lids. Thank goodness we didn't have to walk the 25 minutes back to the restaurant from where we live. The food was good that chicken was amazing it was a tender and soft my husband's snake was great on his bowl it just seems that they put quite a lot of rice rather than the vegetables in order to make the bowl full. It would be nice if there was more vegetables in the bowl than just so much rice. I was thankful for the gluten-free naan it was rather hard and even microwaving it with a soft wet towel did not bring it back to life. The yogurt sauce on the side was best rather than putting it all over the salad. Would eat here again. is a bit spendy.

Gluten Free Goodness after a show at the RIV! Sorry I was so hungry I forgot to take pics. They altered the brussels sprouts to make them gluten-free and they were amazing! I got three tacos: a chicken, steak, and duck. I ate the duck first because not everyone does duck very well and I didn’t want to end with it, however, I should have because the duck was the best of the three. The chicken was my second favorite, and I could have done without the steak… It was too well done and not much flavor. However, my friend did get a steak and that looked fabulous. The service was great, and the ambience was dark and charming.

Rebecca Robinson

So good! So much fun - and gluten free options. I am celiac and had no issues, but they do warn that cross-contamination is a risk (understood and I really wanted a donut). Beyond that the coffee was superb!

Loved this restaurant! Amazing with food allergies/Celiac! Food was delicious.

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!!

Justin Craven

Great food & customer service. Amazing vegan & gluten free options. Must try!!!!!

A D

Good food, gluten free and vegan menu

Jeremiah Perkins

Amazing restaurant with a lot of options for gluten free and veg food. Try their frites and cucumbers!!!

Alec Dimmig

Solid restaurant in Old Town. Good portions of pasta and it was delicious. Gluten free options available. The pizza dough was phenomenal but the toppings not as noteworthy. Prices were pretty standard with other restaurants in the area. Service was good. Would be nice if they had a cheaper wine option. Otherwise, good experience.

Leigh Kelsey

I've been meaning to write this review for a long time. I love October Cafe! Such a wonderful spot not too far from me. The staff is super friendly and they have a great selection of vegan and gluten free items across the seasons. As a vegan, I regularly get the Maple Forest Latte and matcha latte. The paletas, cinnamon rolls, pesto panini, and the Mediterranean sandwich are tasty. I also love the small, but thoughtful retail. They regularly change up their offerings. This place is truly excellent for grabbing a sip and a snack. 🎃

We came here because my SIL has Celiacs disease and they safely prepared her meal and answered all our questions politely. 10/10 service
