Top 36 Gluten-Free Italian Spots to Explore in Chicago

K

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.

Pasta. Fancy dinner.

Grace Dransfield

Fabulous gem of a restaurant in the Fulton Market area. Croatian theme cuisine and excellent cocktails. Great vib. Shrimp scampi, charred green beans, risotto with carrots, pork ribs and branzino were amazing! Gluten free and egg free menus also.

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.

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.

What a gem! As a gluten free individual, it has been so many years since I've been able to have a true Chicago style pizza. Visiting Chicago and being able to find a pizza joint that offers a gluten free option (that isn't thin crust) made my year! Just because we are gluten free does not mean we don't want to enjoy the glorious food different destinations have to offer. Thank you Chicago's Pizza! I only wish I lived closer and could visit more often!

Best gluten free dining experience I ever had

For Restaurant Week and to celebrate our anniversary, my girlfriend and I came down to Trivoli Tavern for a starter, an entree, a side, and a dessert. For the starters, we had the sushi rolls. I had the crispy shrimp roll and I really enjoyed it. Usually I’m not a huge fan of avocado in things since a lot of dishes tend to overemphasize it, but the flavoring here was subtle and actually enhanced the roll. My girlfriend who is celiac could not have the crispy shrimp roll but they were kind enough to substitute that out for a gluten-free cucumber roll that she really enjoyed. For the mains, I had steak and mashed potatoes. The steak was cooked wonderfully and every bite was tender and delicious. My girlfriend had the gluten-free vodka rigatoni. A lot of gluten-free pastas are notoriously a little off but this one tasted incredible. She was also able to have French fries since they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer. For dessert, I got the key lime pie. Even though I could barely fit anything else in my stomach after the rest of the meal, it was too tasty not to scarf down. Also, since we were celebrating our anniversary, they gave a complimentary ice cream with chocolate sauce. Overall, I had a great dining experience at Trivoli Tavern. The staff’s attention to detail when accommodating my girlfriend’s dietary restrictions was extremely comforting. I’d love to come back again soon.

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

emily motta

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

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

David Wertheimer

Great homemade gluten free pasta

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.

Amazing gluten free Detroit style pizza! Thank you for my new North Side favorite go to. 😊

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

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.

Brandon

Great gluten free options! Went to the bar late and it was amazing

Danielle Lloyd

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

George W

Outstanding food, service, ambience. And the prices are extremely reasonable relative to other choices. The attentiveness of the staff rivals Michelin starred restaurants. The pasta was gluten free and fabulously delicious.

Callie Bunker

This place was adorable, the cocktail options were all fun Staff was knowledgeable on gluten free and celiac.

Jessica Lanty

Amazing experience! Our waiter Kevin was amazing and so beyond helpful! Great gluten free options as well!

Hi-Fi

Ordered a gluten free pizza with pepperoni and an extra cheese topping. Pizza was dry with very little cheese. Because of the lack of toppings and sauce it was hard and difficult to eat. While the pizza was a 12" the toppings were put on like a 10". Can't recommend.

Bill Gallaher

Always our favorite place but last 2 times soggy gluten free crust - sent back, server very defensive , extremely disappointing-

Sara Yeagley

Great sports bar! Lots of gluten free options including chicken fingers & pizza

Anndrea Golightly

Ate in the bar as we didn’t have a reservation. I ordered a salad without croutons since I am gluten free and salad still came with croutons. The gluten free pasta was over cooked and the Alfredo sauce was just ok.

Nancy Hodges

Gluten-free slice! Wonderful salad, super family-friendly and great casual atmosphere.

I hosted an event at Pizano's, on Madison recently. They have a really nice event space on the lower level of the restaurant. The event coordinator was very helpful and accommodating. She helped me select the menu and made sure we had gluten free options. We had quite a few attendees who had never tried deep dish pizza before. Everyone loved the pizza, including some thin crust options. In addition to food, we were provided drink options as well. The cost was very reasonable, the service was great, and the space was perfect for our needs. We will definitely consider hosting a future event in their event space. I highly recommend this option for your next large gathering. We had about 30 people with room to spare.

Mike Chiu

Great service and amazing food. They also accommodate for gluten free and dairy free intolerance. Our go to place to eat pasta!

Rebecca DeMarco

We literally started eating before I got some pics in. The presentation and the choice of ingredient combinations were amazing: we couldn't wait, lol! The crust was so tender yet crispy; this is the best pizza I've ever eaten. Also tried the gluten-free dough, and it was delicious also. The waitstaff were friendly and professional. I can't wait to go back :)

Carolyn Torres

We had an afternoon 75th birthday with 70+ppl (from 2 weeks to 81 years old). The Strada room was beautifully decorated with colored napkins & balloons as we agreed. The food was delicious & abundant. The few guests with gluten-free & vegetarian needs were given terrific dishes. The hard working staff were great, & parking for so many cars was a bonus!! We had a lot of compliments from our guests & very pleased with our event. Would highly recommend!

Lior Seidel

GF options clearly marked on the menu.

Heather Dalin

Please go back to the old gluten free crust you used. The new one is AWFUL.

Fatima taha

service is impeccable, everyone is extremely nice, I had the best gluten free pasta here!!

Darian Greenfield

Great find for easy Italian food. Gluten free menu. Decent selection including gluten free pasta. Our server was cheerful and excited to talk with us. Would highly recommend for an easy affordable Italian dinner.

M Corr

Gem of an Italian place on the northwest side. Foods great drinks are well priced and service is always good. Gluten free options are tasty and never feels “on top of eachother” even when it’s busy.

Rebekah Newman

Wonderful vibes and attentive staff. Food was very prompt even for a busy Friday. Looked like decent availability of open seating at the bar. Very much appreciated gluten free pasta options and that splitting a check was seamless.

Melaine Foy

On a work trip & was worried ai wouldn't find gluten-free pizza ( that didn't taste like cardboard) but Gino's East delivered amazing GF Pizza, totally forgot it was GF!! Delicious Delicious Delicious...oh & ask for Ruben R's section he was fantastic! Super helpful & made my visit seamless & enjoyable! Would eat here again!

Angeline Ungerer

Best Gluten Free pizza in town so we went so everyone could enjoy. Pics are of regular Chicago Deep Dish Pizza with Spinach and Chicken. The cookies were excellent too!

Jacob Siegle

Gluten free is really good here

Bill Healy

Super nice and friendly service. Burgers and steaks were good. Frita fries were also good. Some gluten-free options.

Jel Gage

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Ceres'. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented, absolutely delicious and very satisfying. Our server, Matthew, could not have been more of a pleasure and enhanced our evening all the more. Excellent options for vegans and vegetarians, as for gluten free.

J Burke

Excellent food and service. Celiac friendly!
