I went to Chicago on a road trip and came across this gem. Gave me and my party not just amazing service, but above and beyond service. They offer a bunch of gluten free options too, even asking before ordering to ensure its not a dietary or allergen concern for anyone in the group. Not necessary for our group, but a notable mention that stood out for those who might want that info. We were exhausted from a long day's exploration of the city and came in late at night to eat with someone in my party's craving for deep dish. Food was delicious and made fresh to order, the front of house team member was very attentive and gave us the best experience. Food was delicious, portions were more than (plenty for leftovers) and the presentation was beautifully done. We ended up stopping by again before we left the next day, with the same superb dine in meal from the team that morning. From our visits we got loaded fries, regular fries, buffalo wings, deep dish pizza (twice), fettuccine alfredo (twice), cheesy garlic bread and one of their gourmet toasted foccacia sandwiches. I can't speak highly enough of every bit of food we recieved. They deliver such quality ingredients and it shows. If you're in Chicago, this place is a must. I will definitely come back next trip.

Good GF buns!

Crystal Nicholls

Wonderful Dining. The atmosphere of this restaurant was fantastic. We had a wonderful experience. Our server was knowledgeable about gluten-free, and the restaurant seemed to be very conscious of gluten safety.

Be careful if you have a food allergy. I am celiac, asked for gluten free fish and chips, but I got food contamination. It made me vomit shortly after finishing.

We were in Chicago for business. My friend has severe allergies, gluten, nuts, strawberries, eggs. We selected Mon Ami Gabi based on options for gluten free. We made reservation and arrived about 20 minutes early. Entrance to the hotel is gorgeous. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Making sure we parked at the correct valet location (there's 2 one for residence one for restaurant. They brought us to the bar while we waited for seating. Barkeep was very friendly and very efficient. We didn't wait more then 20 minutes for our table. We were seated and we ensured they were aware of the concerns for gluten and other allergens. Waiter already was aware thanks to OpenTable reservation, I'd added a comment so they'd know ahead. They were extremely considerate pointed out the dishes that are GF. We skipped an appetizer and ordered dinner. The wait staff were friendly without being overly. Food was delivered quickly and cooked to perfection. I ordered medium rare beef and my friend ordered salmon almondine(without the almonds). Food was flavorful and delicious. Not only was our server attentive but the other staff ensured we were comfortable, well taken care of, and had everything we needed. They cleared dishes and glasses quietly while you ate without being distributive and made sure the water glasses were always full. I'd highly recommend the restaurant if you're in the area. For a Thursday the place was Busy. Reservations highly recommended. A mixture of date nights, family dinners (with younger kids) special occasions. Some folks were dressed up others in flannels and it all worked.

Great tapas restaurant with a marked gluten-free menu. Just check with your server about cross contact issues. I love the brussel sprout salad and the chirizo wrapped dates!

Rachel Mandelker

100% Gluten free and so so good! You can bring home taquitos frozen or they can heat them up for you - loved it!!

Michael Baron

Rice noodles and knowledgeable on gluten free broth and other items

Taylor Nicole

smack dab is one of my new favorite breakfast spots! staff was so kind and friendly which made the experience that much better. as a gluten free girly breakfast sandwiches are hard to find in the city and they have two different kinds of gluten free bread that is amazing!!! love that they are so gluten free and dietary restriction friendly. will def be on my regular rotation now :)

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.

Anna Keller

Ingrained is my favorite gluten free bakery in the city! I’ve never tried anything I didn’t love. All of the ingredients are so fresh and you can tell everything is made with love!

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.

Jazmin Saban

Excellent place, great option if you have any dietary restrictions, it is all dairy free, gluten free, I loved it! I recommend

Jane Wilberding

I LOVE this place. The space is super large, clean and open. The service is great. And the ciders are solid. I like that they are constantly rotating and trying new ones out. But if and when they are too weird for me, they always keep some on the menu permanently (the pedestrian cider is a fav). I have celiac and there are plenty of GF options and staff are always helpful in making sure nothing is cross contaminated.

Isabella Dourigan

amazing donuts best gf ive had

Lori Buckman

Delicious fresh food, and they totally accommodated my gluten free dietary restrictions. Our server was very knowledgeable about all of the dishes.

Kay S

Stopped by here for a late lunch after a quick search for gluten free options in the area. So glad I did! Service was prompt and the staff member working the counter was super nice and helpful. Lots of great options, clean dining area and restroom, I will be coming back.

Michael A.

Stopped in for weekend brunch . They do a really good job with the offerings and selection of items for brunch . Impressed to see they had a gluten free only menu as well ! I decided to go with a sandwich option . They have a spicy Calabrian chili turkey sandwich with bacon and avocado on a ciabatta style bread that was delicious . Big portion too . If you get the fries as I did , make sure you add on the truffle aioli ! It goes so well with everything. Service was good and attentive . We had a reservation and glad we did as it did appear to fill up very quickly We will definitely be back here

Katie McKee

Have eaten here many times and have always felt fine after

Morgan Secrest

The best pizza and amazing gluten free options! Highly recommend, great ambiance and friendly service.

All of the ice cream is gluten free and vegan, as are the waffle cones. They do make some baked goods with gluten but are very knowledgeable on keeping them separate.

Sarah W

Dedicated GF restaurant with a bunch of marshmallow treats

David Wertheimer

Great homemade gluten free pasta

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!!!

Liv G

More than half the menu is gluten free. They use separate fryers and prep space for the gluten free items. Everything is vegan. Soy free options too. Very yummy!!

pritiv hc

Omgg!!!!! Chicago babies alert!! This bakery stands out the best bakery in the city !! Worth the drive ! I had Apple cobbler which was absolutely delicious 😋 . They have gluten free options too . Coming back again for more cupcakes.

Frank Gengo

I'm neither vegan nor gluten-free, and I thought that oreo ganache cake was good as hell

Liv G

All of the ice cream is gluten free and vegan, as are the waffle cones. They do make some baked goods with gluten but are very knowledgeable on keeping them separate.

Michelle McCrackin

Oysters, steak, they were very sensitive to my gluten allergy

Charles Earley

Great gluten-free options

Jennifer Winthurst

I got the butchers block skillet. It was full of bacon, ham, sausage, cheese and hash browns. It was very good. Kind of salty with all the meat and potatoes but still very tasty. They don't have Splenda but they offer Stevia and regular sugar packets. I went on a Thursday afternoon and we walked in and got a table for 6 with no wait. If you're planning on going on the weekend I would plan for a long wait. Every weekend when I pass by the restaurant there's always a line waiting for a table. This restaurant is down the street from a lot of hotels and from major Chicago attractions like the Bean. I also got pancakes with my meal. All and all it was a good meal. The portions are generous. They do offer gluten free options. They have Coke products. My friend got their berry Bliss waffle. It looked delicious. Our waiter could have been better. I asked for oat milk and I got regular cream. My friend asked for a diet Coke and never got it until right before our food came out. They also have a large outdoor seating area.

Shannon Doody

A really cute vibe inside, food was varied and all very safely marked for gluten free or veg. Service was great as well. I got the veg platter special for Lunar New Year and my partner got the chickpea curry and loved it. The appam was very fresh and fluffy, and the yucca bites for an appetizer were great. We got ice cream and the rice cake for dessert because it looked so good, even though we were full. It was delicious! We'll definitely be back!

Had a work lunch here last week, and was happy to see there is a separate gluten free menu available, so I didn't get my hopes up about something I couldn't actually have. My dish came out with a little flag indicating "allergy" so there was no confusion at the table. Most importantly, the food was very good!

jor A

Beautiful Italian restaurant. They offer courses, so take your time and enjoy the food. They have delicious gluten-free options. I would absolutely dine with them again. It's an elegant yet family-friendly atmosphere. And I really appreciate that they didn't rush us out when we finished our meal, and let us wait for our Uber at the table.

Jane Wilberding

The best popsicles you'll ever have! There are always so many unique and fun flavors you don't see anywhere else. I have celiac and everything is GF/not cross-contaminated.

Jordan Fridsma

very busy but workers did an excellent job, great attention to detail for gluten free

Jessica Seeley

Delicious celiac safe breakfast!

Two Tickets Away

Ross Jordan

The Turkish pastries are awesome and truly made by the owners, so fresh! Food gluten free baked goods you cannot get anywhere else. Great matcha and tea options that will have you coming back. Lots of space to sit and get work down while you sip or meet friend for a catch up.
