Excellent salad and husband said the gluten free bread was excellent. Thanks to the owner for the celiac friendly recommendations 👏👏👏

Nelson Roberts

A terrific breakfast experience with lots of menu selections at fair prices. Good portion sizes, great drink selection and gluten free menu available upon request.

First visit. Went on a Saturday at 1 ( they close at 2:30) put our names on waitlist online so hardly any wait. Lots of choices for many different diets- vegetarian, gluten free, etc. It was busy so it was quite loud but I guess that’s unavoidable. Prices are high. You can see them online. 3 of us ate breakfast, 2 coffees, 1 soda, and 2 biscuit appetizers- $125 with tip. Our waitress was great except our food was given to us by someone else and we asked them for butter (none was brought with pancakes) and extra syrup but never got it. Tried to get the guys attention to no luck and finally flagged our waitress down. Overall a fine breakfast with solid choices but in my opinion not worth the cost.

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.

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

It was my first time at Vasili’s and it was a GREAT experience!!! Bianca was a phenomanal waitress, I told her about my gluten allergy and she was supper accommodating!!!! She informed me about what was and was not gluten free on the menu and told me they had GF bread. She also brought me a lemon sorbet for dessert knowing I couldn’t have anything that was on the menu!!! Amazing first time there, definitely going back!!!

They went above and beyond to help me have safe gluten free food at our company Christmas Lunch.

Fogo de Chao Naperville never disappoints! We were here for my birthday celebration as well as Father’s Day. Our service was top tier and our servers (Tarea, Haret, & Chloe) always made sure we had everything we needed, our waters never reached empty, they answered any questions we had, very professional, kind, knowledgeable of the meats and ingredients in the other foods. The food was delicious as always, we have a family member that has a gluten allergy and she had many options when it came to the menu which was nice and accommodating. Such a wonderful lunch/brunch and great experience! Will definitely come again!

Amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere. Had gluten friendly options.

Finally a pizza that's both gluten free *and* egg free.... and it tastes good too! ☺️

Lucky Penny did not disappoint. The vibe was cozy and cool, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh and made with care. I got the gluten-free pancakes sunny-side-up, eggs with sausage links, and it was honestly better than I expected. The staff were friendly without being overbearing, and the whole place just had a laid-back, feel-good energy. Definitely one of those spots you’ll catch yourself craving again.

Meson Sabika is a wonderful restaurant! The people, ambience, and food are all fabulous. My family visited for my wife's birthday with our 3 children (17, 14 and 10) and everyone loved it. The restaurant is just outside downtown Naperville and it looks like an old colonial mansion on a nicely landscaped lot. There are several different rooms throughout the building with seating. It's a very homey and warm feeling. We shared 7 or 8 plates, most of them gluten free due to dietary restrictions (solomillos a la plancha, chuletas de cordero, gambas a la plancha, patatas con aioli, salpicon de mariscos, jamon serrano, queso de cabra) and we liked every dish. Our server, Hilary, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and always seemed to know the right time to swing by. I highly recommend Meson Sabika!

We had a great experience here. We had friends in town from all over, and 12 of us wanted to find a place we could get into for dinner together. Donny was engaging and friendly on the phone when I made the reservation. When we showed up for dinner the table was ready and Donny came over multiple times to check and make sure everything met our expectations. The service was friendly and efficient, everyone loved their meals, and the bang for the buck feels high here. Out of our party of 12, 10 people had never been to a Francesca's, and everyone made positive comments over the next few days about how great everything was. I had the Pollo Arrosto Alla Romana. It was delicious and cooked perfectly. We will be back, and definitely recommend it for groups. Good variety on the menu, nice gluten free options (not always easy at an Italian restaurant), and the service was phenomenal.

Our server was very informed about Celiac and cross contamination and I felt a lot of confidence eating here needing to be gluten free. The food and drinks were delicious and the atmosphere was very cool, we'll definitely be coming back here! Great to have this resource for eating safely gluten free downtown.

Pleasantly surprised with this breakfast spot! My wife & I stopped in on a Saturday an hr before they were to close, for our 1st time to order brunch to-go after browsing their menu online for vegan & gluten-free options. We had a few questions about their offerings while ordering tho, & Alex kindly greeted us & offered to help. He didn't hesitate to go back to the kitchen to confirm ingredients for us which was so helpful & reassuring, & really sets the bar for top notch customer service. Many places are so uninformed on what goes into the food they offer & can't be bothered to help or find out when asked, so it really was so refreshing to be assisted by someone who cared. 🌱⚠️ We were glad we asked tho, bc we found out that while their GF bread option is listed on their menu under the 'Vegan' section, it DOES contain eggs (as some GF breads do), making it NOT vegan. He was also able to confirm for us that their new plant-based sausage (listed under 'Sides') IS gluten-free & vegan. We were kindly shown the ingredient lists of the products to see with our own eyes 🙌🏽 (wish all places did this!) Considering this, we asked if we could instead have corn tortillas with our Vegan Breakfast Tofu Bowls since we couldn't do the GF bread, & Alex was happy to do that for us at no extra charge! He was also kind enough to offer us both a free iced tea while we waited on our to-go order, which was ready in less than 10 mins. We have not been treated so kindly in a restaurant in a long time & were so appreciative of the positive experience! 🤤 As for the food, it was amazing! & I say this as someone who is vegan/gluten-free, who cooks at home, who is always looking for & knows the struggle of finding GOOD, quality breakfast options that are worth the price & made for my dietary needs. For $17 the bowl was a generous, filling portion, the tofu was tastey & cooked just right, & everything else tasted hearty & homemade. I hoped there would be a bit more vegan cheese then there was, but otherwise everything was great (btw we added in the avocado at home, it isnt included) My wife & I were both delighted to say the least, & we can't wait to visit again & actually dine in! We would absolutely recommend those who are vegan & GF come try this spot! Really nice atmosphere & so wonderful to see our fellow latinos setting the standard on hospitality in the restaurant industry 💙 Thank you & mucho amor to Sweet Toast Cafe!

They have a gluten free bun and they have a dedicated GF fryer so... Yay for GF fries! The waitress was unsure about some sauces being dairy-free and was happy to ask and clarify for me. The burger was wonderful and the truffle fries were everything you could imagine! :) the waitress was very friendly. I would come here again for sure.

Rush order amazing food. What can I say about this fantastic restaurant and staff ? They put together a full lunch together for an emergency last minute lunch presentation. (my order was mistakenly cancelled by a different restaurant) I walked in and asked “can you put together a lunch for 15 in less than 20 minutes?” “ Oh and I have 2 vegans and also need gluten free”. Not only did they do so, they did it with grace and style and served me a frozen margarita while I waited ( to calm me down ). The manager Cruz was so accommodating and nice and the Chef even helped me carry all the food to my work meeting. I’m sorry but do you know any other restaurant on the planet that is this wonderful? I don’t. I will be back. In less of a rush so I can enjoy the food and frozen margaritas!!! Don’t miss a chance to try out this wonderful Naperville gem for delicious Mexican food. By the way the food was AMAZING!!

Good food, good service, gluten-free options, but a little too noisy. Parking lot very crowded on a weekday.

Romi Bose

One of my favorite restaurants. Because they use flour imported from Italy, my son is able to eat their pastas and pizzas with no issue. He has gluten sensitivity to US wheat but is fine with wheat sourced from countries where the wheat is not GMO. Never a problem when we visit Europe. Regardless of the above, the food is very tasty and well made. And the service is very friendly.

I was absolutely thrilled by my experience at Indian Harvest. I was blown away by all of the dishes, the presentation of the food, the atmosphere - everything! The whole staff was very kind and friendly. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and also respectful. The food was truly a delight. The booths are very beautiful and private. The wine and cocktail lists were thoughtful and original. My wine was affordable and delicious! It can be tricky to find a restaurant to go that pleases both me and my sister, since I eat everything and my sister has sensitivities to dairy, gluten, and sugar that make eating at a restaurant challenging and sometimes straight up painful! They have a very clear menu with MANY nut free / vegan / gluten free options. And everything was outstanding. Thank you for your amazing hospitality! You are a gem - I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Nancy Richards

Yummy. Shared the grilled platter and the Sea Bass with my daughter. Sea Bass was melt-in- your-mouth delicious. Dedicated Gluten Free menu. Has Gluten Free table bread.

Judy Zehr

This is my new favorite restaurant. Four of us all agreed that our food was amazing (including 1 gluten free pasta dish). Great drinks and the service was excellent. We'll come back for sure. FYI: Best chicken marsala ever, amazing filet medallions, amazing gluten free short rib & pasta.

The menu is great with gluten free options as well. The food is consistently excellent and the service is always awesome! I have visited 5 times in the past 6 months and each experience has been great!

Jess R

Wonderful! Lots of GF options, and aware of other allergies as well. To go items are great (lemon & blackberry muffin, brownies, banana/chocolate chip loaf, cinnamon roll) and lots of breakfast and lunch options. I had a “pick three” with kale salad, chicken salad and chick pea salad.

Michele Frigo

Gluten free french toast was spectacular!

My son and my father and I were looking for a breakfast place in the area and we've never been here before so we decided to give it a shot. Very cute Ambiance using that black and white feel that a lot of places have gone after. Kind of waiting for chip and Joanna to come out from behind the kitchen lol. My son had an omelette with avocado and spinach, my dad had eggs benedict and I had a breakfast burrito and everything was absolutely fantastic. I also noticed they have a bunch of gluten-free options which will be great since my wife has celiacs so we look forward to coming back with her. Overall definitely fantastic breakfast spot.

Great local, veteran owned diner that replaced the train diner! Lynn was welcoming the minute we walked through the door, even giving us a few quarters to use for the horse for our son to ride. Our waitress was great. Service is exceptional! You can tell they really care about their customer’s experience. My son has a severe dairy allergy and avoids gluten. Loved the fact that they have a gluten and dairy free pancake (amaranth) for him! (Heads up it does have eggs) He really enjoyed them. Unfortunately the potatoes are cooked with dairy/butter which is a favorite part of our breakfast usually. If this ever changes or there’s a different potato/hash-brown option offered without dairy, we would love to make this our go to breakfast spot.

great atmosphere! The service was unfortunately subpar; had to wait a lot for waiter to come back and check in. Also, all our food came out at different times and mine was lukewarm and my burger was way too rare. Finally, they had something marked gf on their menu that come to find out, has cross contamination with gluten. We used to love this place and heard it’s now under new management. unfortunately likely won’t be back Also, the added 3% removable surcharge feels like it’s taking advantage of customers. Because unless you see the fine print about it being added in, you don’t know it’s there…

My group of 10 walked in on a Monday morning, got sat immediately, and got great service from Cecelia! The coffee was all delicious which was a pleasant surprise, the food was extremely affordable, and we all cleared our plates because it was so good! There were also gluten free and lactose free options for our friend that were actually good! Overall had a great experience and I definitely recommend people to check it out!

I’ve come here 3 different times and each time my experience got worse. I really wanted to like this place, because it has a special quality about it & I see the potential, but the kitchen is constantly missing the mark. During my first visit, the food was bland. I had ordered a savory crepe that tasted subpar to any crepe I’ve ever had. The second visit, I ordered the viral giant croissants. I asked the waiter which flavors were available & he replied “all of them”. After our meal, I placed a to go order for one of each flavor, but was told they only had 3 flavors available. Once I got home I passed out the croissants to my family members to try and everyone had a “meh” expression on their faces. So I tasted one and the croissant was so dry and hard. (I drove straight home) During my third & final visit with a friend, I ordered the soufflé pancakes that are supposed to be light, fluffy, & jiggly. I received 3 flat pancakes. I looked at the waitress as she placed my plate in front of me with disbelief. I showed her a picture from their own website of what they should look like and she agreed and took them back. My friend’s steak was waaaaay overcooked and they took that back as well and apologized for everything. The manager came out & said the kitchen accidentally used gluten free flour & that’s why the soufflé pancakes wouldn’t rise. But they served it anyway? Weird. THEN they brought me a steak taretar & the meat was BROWN instead of red. The waitress apologized for that as well & took it away. At that point I was done. They kindly removed my plates from the bill & gave us a free mimosa to make it up to us. So at the end of it all I had an empty belly but a nice buzz! Until they get new kitchen management, I don’t think I’ll be returning.
