Very cautious with allergies. Fries made in dedicated fryer. Gluten free bun or lettuce wrap available.

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

Happy to have visited the Chicago location after going to Seattle's earlier this year. What a great spot.. A so happy to realize that most is gluten free! Vegans and non vegans alike should check this place out.

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.

Kassie

Celiac friendly! 99% gluten free. Separate fryers!

Emily Schwefel

Came here with the family and had a wonderful time! Adrian was our server, he was so kind and helpful! He was also super knowledgeable about all the gluten free options on the menu and brought out my tacos in a separate dish! Great atmosphere, food, and drinks! Will definitely be back soon!

I love that they have gluten free/dairy free/egg free crepes. It’s buckwheat so it tastes a bit funny and sticky but it’s ok. The savory flavor was ok for me but the sweet one: honey, walnut and strawberry was great. Amazing tea selection and nice big mugs

April Samuelson

Elia is beautiful. The food leaves a lot to be desired. It's one of the few places in Wicker Park that lists gluten free options on the menu.

Cierra Maras

Absolutely incredible food. No choice is a bad choice. Our server Rebecca was super sweet. Helped me navigate as a celiac needing gluten free, she was very kind and made sure my food wasn't in contact with gluten. Sauces are gluten free too! I got the burnt ends. Portion seems sort of small but it was more than enough.

Jae Irene

Love this place. Much better than Chipotle. I visited on a whim with my 4 year old niece and girlfriend and the food and service was bomb. And they’re gluten free!!!

Michael Baron

Probably the best gluten free pizza in Chicago. Not an exaggeration.

Jennifer Gage

Thank you for being so aware of food allergies, especially gluten and dairy. Really good and so many options!

Ana Dexel

As someone who is newly gluten free and visiting Chicago for the first time, I was overwhelmingly satisfied with both the food and welcoming/accommodating service here. Our server was kind and efficient and our food was outstanding. While only staying five days here in Chicago, both my mom and I agreed to return here for dinner before we leave.

Amlys Lopez

Amazing food. Most of their menu is customizable so you can make it vegetarian or vegan. My spouse has Celiac’s and they were super careful and accommodating. Every time someone comes to visit me I make sure to bring them. Their Huevos Volando is a dream come true, as have been their chai, coffee, lemonades, and everything there we’ve tasted.

Angela Maicki

Always a great energy & environment. Their patio on a nice day is awesome. I’ve had dinner here multiple times and it’s always great. We recently had brunch and it was delicious. They have limited vegetarian/gluten free options but are willing to omit ingredients when needed.

Craig Gunderson

We went here for my wife's birthday. She has a gluten intolerance and other food allergies and the staff was extremely accommodating. The food was absolutely spectacular and the portions very generous. Our pasta came out so fast, we were shocked. I make my own espresso at home, but I am telling you the double they served me was the most luxurious thing I could imagine. I took a star off the atmosphere for a slight swampy smell. This may be from winter plumbing issues, but it was noticeable. Otherwise it was cozy and comfortable.

I really wanted to love this place! The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was great. However, my fiancée and I were pretty disappointed with the vegan and gluten-free cheese pizza. For over $20, we definitely expected more. The cheese wasn’t melted at all, the crust was bland, and there was hardly any sauce, which made the pizza really dry. Neither of us could finish just one slice. Maybe it was just an off night, but based on the reviews mentioning great vegan options, I had higher hopes. I love that more places are offering inclusive menu items, but I think it’s important for restaurants to really taste-test these options before serving them.

Eleasa McKinney

10/10 one of the best places I’ve eaten! Everyone there was friendly and the food was great, and especially entertaining if you get something spicy that your friends aren’t used to and have them try it. Not only loved their different meals, along with the fact that you could get a majority of them gluten free and vegetarian which is amazing, but all the drinks they had to choose from were great as well. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something quick and good, especially the tteokbokki!

mary hodur

Excellent food, as always, with scrumptiousgluten free options. The gluten free chicken and lamb shwarma dinners are both quite tasty. They give a choice of rice, so I tried both rice mixtures, and the dinner was enough for two meals. Their hummus is the best I've had, as is their lentil soup. The salad bar offers so many authentic foods to sample, also. Ooh, don't forget the sauce: the red, spicy sauce and the white sauce. They compliment the food nicely! In the warmer weather, the location on North Ave also has an outdoor patio. This is a great, low stress, easy on the budget option for lunch or dinner...or both!

Lizzy Tenison

Pizza was delish! Has gluten free options which is fantastic. Reasonable pricing!

Naina Khanna

Wonderful neighborhood brunch restaurant! The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. They were very mindful of food allergies and offer gluten free bread too!

Stephanie

My friend and I came here to eat brunch, it took us a while to find the entrance because it was hidden. But it’s not that bad because it’s super easy to locate once you walk inside. When we got in, we were greeted by staff and got to our table really quickly. The service was pretty fast and nice. One of the servers was even telling us jokes, which was super sweet of them. The waiter is also knowledgeable about the menu (my friend has a gluten free diet), so he was able to help my friend find a gluten free option. The food was super good, I really loved the French toast and the portion they give is big as well. Definitely a good atmosphere to the area and loved it a lot.

mary hodur

Went for a dinner and a brunch. Both were very good. Their gluten free substitutions were tasty, and the rest of their food and drink were very good. The potatoes at brunch were quite unique and tasty! The roasted vegetabl dinner was the highlight of the meal. The service was very good...a bit slow during brunch, but not enough to ruin the meal!

Excellent service, I loved the dedication of the cooks to take care of our gluten free order. I highly recommend it

Angela Reilly

Irish Nobleman is the Chicago neighborhood bar everyone wants! Drinks great, food great and consistent including gluten free options, and we just love it. Whether it’s popping in for mimosas or for dinner and cocktails, we come here year round. (And we love Sean who is often our waiter, such a gem). Highly recommend and feel lucky to have it be in my neighborhood.

Aaron Greer

I hosted my wife’s 30th surprise party at Barcocina in west town. They were very helpful with getting me all the information I needed in a timely manner from start to finish! Our guest loved the ambiance in the event room with the 2fire places as well. The guest also loved each and every taco tray I order. I had purchased the steak,mahi mahi and bangbang shrimp. They were mostly gluten free which also was a plus because one of our guest can’t have gluten. But I want to thank Desi the event planner for helping and answering any questions I had. I highly recommend having a party at this location

Luis Valentin

Is it possible to do the gator bites gluten free asking for a friend.

jessica bastidas

Carlos Díaz Martínez

Fast, friendly, very good breakfasts, hot and delicious coffee. The best breakfast in the area. There are many gluten-free dishes.

lauren gordon-fahn

Old school clean warm welcoming vibe. Best gluten-free hand made pasta I have had in my 25 years of being gluten-free. I had the shrimp diavolo, so many shrimp great rich flavor!

Jennifer Paruch

Everything was great, but please provide gluten free options

Christina L.

Incredible- loved Arami and would highly recommend. We have done a la carte as well as omakase and both have been phenomenal. The omakase experience was particularly lovely. Each course was meticulously prepared and thoughtfully crafted. They are also able to accommodate to gluten free.

Pretty decent gluten-free pizza! Just wished they added more cheese on it.

Mike Idalski

My office ordered Lil Greek Kitchen for one of our catered lunches, and it was delicious. The Gyro and Greek Potatoes were a big hit. Additionally, Adam was very attentive to our order and helped to craft options for our Gluten-Free and Vegetarian/Vegan employees.

Jane Wilberding

Super cute neighborhood spot with amazing food. Feels like a hidden gem. I have celiac and the staff went out of their way to alter several dishes to accommodate me that were incredibly delicious and had zero cross contamination.

mary hodur

This adorable shop with the restaurant in back has been a favorite for years! The service is exceptional as is the food. This visit we tried the grilled calamari appetizer, gluten free gnocchi with vodka sauce and grilled chicken, and chicken with asparagus and roast potatoes with tiramisu for dessert. It was all delicious! Our server was pleasant, knew all about the menu and made very good recommendations. Lucia's is BYO, so be sure to bring a bottle of wine to complement your food if you'd like!!

Michael Nguyen

I absolutely love the atmosphere and design of the whole store! Very warm, spacious, inviting! Perfect for a hang out with friends and family! The staff is always so helpful and super welcoming, I feel like I am instantly friends with all of them! Ugh and their drinks are aMAzing! Gotta give a shout out to Purple Roots which is an all time customer favorite, and I can see why. For me, I have never really been a fan of Taro and Ube…but they somehow cracked the secret in their recipe because I am obsessed. Never thought I would like either of those flavors but here I am. The drink (and all of their drinks) being dairy and gluten free, for all my lactose intolerant/celiac peeps is incredible! And the best part…NOT 👏🏼 TOO 👏🏼 SWEET👏🏼 *chefs kiss* Ugh, definitely the hot spot to be in Wicker Park!

Amanda Blair MacDonald

I can't eat gluten, so they made my pasta dish with brocolli. Delicious!

Ariel Simpson

This place is down the street from our friend’s house, so we always stop by when we’re visiting. Great coffee and breakfast sandwiches! They even offer gluten free buns, which I appreciate.

Jay Fal

Fry The Coop one of the best chicken sandwich shops in Illinois, their sandwiches are ridiculously spicy! 🥰 Ghost pepper is the main spice in their “Hot” heat level😍 They serve 100% Halal certified chicken to deliver the best product possible💕 They offer a 5.5 ounces fries, which is equivalent to a larger fry. And they do event catering! Also you can customize your order 🤍 They have a secret menu item called the Veggie Sandwich and it is amazing too! It has fries, coleslaw, cheese, pickles, mild rub, and coop sauce on a toasted brioche bun. Their fries, Coleslaw, and Potato Salad are gluten free🤤 They have different locations in Chicago & Burbs🤍🤍

Hailey Keating

Amazing gluten free pizza. The best I’ve ever had.

Amie Krueger

Gluten Free Salads here and the potatoes are roasted. I’m allergic to eggs and Gluten so there was not much in the way of breakfast food that I could eat however my salad was hearty and delicious. I also had some amazing fresh strawberry 🍓 OJ 🍊 😋

Joel Davis

Our quest for deep dish began in the loop. We started at Giordano's but it was a tourist-infested zoo. We looked for something closer to our airbnb in West Town and found Bartoli's. Jackpot! Nice service, family-run, small and quiet, and AMAZING pizza. The deep dish was fantastic , and the thin crust was the best gluten-free pizza ever! We got two more excellent meals out of the leftovers. Caesar salad was also awesome. Highly recommend!
