Top 47 Gluten-Free Spots Open Late to Explore in River North, Chicago

An outrageously delicious & positive experience eating lunch here today. Mia took exceptionally good care of us – my mom is celiac, and was so thrilled with the level of attention and care she got. On top of that, the food was showstoppingly good! The chicken kebabs, falafel, hamachi and hummus were all 10/10.

Bartender was great, staff were great! One star for the gluten free pizza crust. It was terrible. Rice paste is what is used and that made for the crust to be “chewy” while hot. When cooling down, pizza is rock hard. Maybe they should try using cauliflower crust.

Tabatha Phillips

Gluten, Vegan, and Vegetarian friendly! Soooo good! Loved it so much. Will return! Get the baked cauliflower!!

Emmy Johnson

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! So many options for people with celiac. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The food was 10/10. We will definitely visit again.

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.

Gluten free options and advise are excellent

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.

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.

We had such a fantastic dinner at Bavette's on New Year's Day! We've been trying to get a reservation forever and now I understand why it's constantly booked. I have Celiac Disease and our server Rich was an absolute gem and put me at ease, explaining the kitchen procedures and how seriously they take GF and allergens. They also informed me about potential points of cross contact when I asked about desserts. We ordered the whole meal (except dessert) at once so it could be put in separately as an allergen ticket, which is checked by the manager. When each dish was brought out, they confirmed it was GF. Honestly, a lot of the menu is already labeled GF, so it helped knowing I hadn't requested anything special or modified. They even brought me house made chips to start while my boyfriend ate the regular table bread. We had the wedge salad, roasted chicken, brussel sprouts, and traditional filet. Then for dessert we had ice cream with hot fudge. Everything was beyond delicious and I didn't get sick from gluten! We're looking forward to another date night here. Highly recommend sitting in the lounge downstairs for a more intimate, special dining experience!

Gluten free options are great. I've eaten here twice and haven't been sick. GF food comes out with marker. Symptomic Celiac

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

David Wertheimer

Great homemade gluten free pasta

Frank Weigel

Really loved that our server was very familiar with celiacs and could steer my wife.

Rachel Wadkins

Everything we ordered was great. Service was amazing. One of us has a severe gluten allergy and our server paid extra attention to her dishes. Can't wait to go back again!

Mariah Schultz

Sunda Lunch Catering was great. Our group liked the Chicken, Tofu and LOVED the Pad Thai. Our Vegan/Gluten-Free guest appreciated all the options available including the individual salad. The delivery order drop off was smooth. Sam was super helpful and made sure to check in with me every step of the way ensuring our order was correct and set-up the way we wanted. Thank you again (Nicole) for all your help with coordinating! I will definitely keep Sunda in mind for future staff events.

Isabella

jacob was a wonderful server! i have a gluten allergy and the resturant had its own gluten free menu! great atmosphere as well, definitely recommend!

Jessica Horn

Gluten sensitivity but server was VERY knowledgeable about ensuring food safety. Music was amazing. Outdoor dining clean and fun. Highly recommended.

Tzuco is an upbeat and elegant dining experience in the heart of River North, Chicago. However, there were only 2 gluten free items on the entire menu. I ordered the Mayan Ceviche (to make gluten free, ask for plaintain chips on the side) and my friend ordered the Albondigas en Calldillo (not gluten free). Both were extreme tasty with layers of flavor, but pretty spicy. Overall, if you’re gluten free, maybe look elsewhere. Tzuco is definitely going to be standout if you’re not gluten-free and willing to spend enough to order multiple dishes (to feel satisfied) and not hungry afterwords. The atmosphere itself was lively and exciting, and not too loud so I could still hear my friend. A good place for work dinners or celebrations!

Christin King

Visting from out of town and we have Celiac. Stopped in to try the gluten-free deep dish pizza. Ordered that and the Malnati Salad. Pizza was actually delicious, crust held up well and salad was amazing.

Matt L

Good gluten free options for my child.

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.

Michelle McCrackin

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

Sarah W

Delicious tapas restaurant with plenty of GF options you just need to confirm with your server about cross contact

Neena O

Despite knowing the dish I wanted couldn't be made gluten free, they accommodated my request and were able to make it as gluten free as possible. The blood orange mimosas were amazing and we didn't have to wait long to get refills on our drinks. The manager came around to check on the tables which made it that much more personable.

Kim S

I'm happy to have found this place. I thought I would have to swear off gluten forever with my gluten allergy. But they accommodated my needs and walked away with a satisfied tummy.

Karen Jacobs

That was the greatest gluten-free pizza I have ever had!! It was fast, the waitress was very helpful, and it was so good!

Wendy Miller

Gluten free fried chicken!! Delicious GF menu including desserts! Came here for my birthday and left ordering another portion of the fried chicken to go, yes that's how good it was. It has been years since i had proper GF fried chicken. Service was a 10 and the atmosphere very cozy and elegant. Def recommend and will be back💜

Cory McEachern

Mind blowing Whiskey selection. Smoked brisket was delicious! Good have been a larger portion. Atmosphere is bang on. Several items marked as gluten free on menu 👍 Would go back again.

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.

Amber Forbes

Hunter was the absolute best server I've ever had. He took my gluten allergy to a new level. Even checked the labeled on the condiments to ensure it was safe to eat. He was very friendly! I'd come back here just to see him!

Alexys Kelsey

Probably the best dinner I've ever had at a restaurant. Extremely gluten free friendly! Yura made amazing recommendations for us, including adding the side of bone marrow to our wagyu steak dinner. It is a must try! Additionally, we were seated in a really nice, quiet spot near a window, which we absolutely loved and appreciated. Out of three days we spent in Chicago and 4 restaurants, Roka Akor was the only place that told my boyfriend happy birthday and brought him dessert - I had made notes on all the reservations, even a Michelin starred place, ignored it. We came for restaurant week but will most certainly be back! Thanks again Yura :)

Mike Moran

Rosebuds was recomended by a friend in Philly as an Italian place Frank Sinatra ate. I don't know it was this one as several were listed, but this one was great I sat in the covered heated patio and eas very comfortable. Nothing exotic in terms of food but had gluten free pasta, did add some chicken for protein, in delicious marina sauce. Had dairy free sorbet for dessert. Lovely server and it was great experience. Would love to go back.

Cierra Maras

Clean seating areas, clean bathrooms. Food is amazing as always. As a celiac, I love that I can get a gluten free bun. I've never gotten sick eating here (gluten wise). Coming from MN this is a must stop!

Ryley N

Fun environment! One staff member especially deserves a gold star for assisting me. I asked them 1,000 questions, verifying that the food I ordered was gluten-free and they continuously assured me. And they were right! The rice side was very good.

Ryan Wayne Dawson

We ordered a Gluten free crust pizza for delivery and the pizza was not cooked through, it was doughy and inedible. I left friendly feedback on their website and the response back was "Sorry the GF wasn't cooked enough." That's it, no offer of a refund or any consolation. I understand stuff happens, but the pizza and service response was disappointing to say the least, seems like they don't really care about their customers.

jackie errico

We had a great time! Very accommodating for gluten allergy! Great vibes.

Jaclyn Marie

Amazing food, experience, and ambiance! The best gluten free and diary free burger in Chicago and that I have ever had in my lifetime. They have beef and veggie burgers options; both are divine. The gluten free bread is exceptional! I have life threatening allergies and feel completely safe eating at Travelle. They take allergies very seriously and go above and beyond to make sure you are happy and enjoy the experience. One time they made me a mango, honey, vanilla bean, almond milk smoothie… it was so delicious they should put it on the menu! I can’t duplicate it. It would be a nice sweet treat for the gluten and diary clients. Travelle is located at the Langham hotel. I recommend a spa day there at Chuan spa then going to the restaurant. It creates a perfect day. As a gluten and diary free person; it’s very hard to go to a restaurant and feel satisfied. It’s so special to me that Travelle cares about allergies and being inclusive for all types of people. Thank you Travelle team and Mr. Zamora for everything you do!

Rich Hill

Food was great that I could eat being gluten free, this place was one of my need to go places after learning that Rick Bayless owned it

David Aleman

At first I was unsure on how the night would go, as the hostess was not very welcoming but that soon changed when we told to go upstairs to meet our group. The service there was amazing and very accommodating to a member of our party who was gluten intolerant. The food was amazing and so we're the drinks.

Alicia Farrell

Very good food. Lovely service. Vegan, Vegetarian, some gluten free, some dairy free, some carnivores - that was our family. All happy at the end.

Dustin Eggerding

Was visiting from out of state. This place is kind of classy when it comes to the menu but they do have a stripped down one with burgers. Staff was super knowledgeable when it came to Celiac Disease. Even brought me my own gluten free toast when they brought everyone else their normal bread. They do not have a dedicated gf fryer, but they do have a dedicated gf toaster! The food was decent but the service was great!

Aj Carlson

Great experience.. awesome shakes, and fair prices. Must go for the atmosphere and one of a kind shakes. Also gluten and dairy free accommodations or any nut allergies. Big thumbs up!

David B

Fantastic food and flavors. I don't usually go for chicken on my pizza. But I'm never not going to order the chicken on my pizza here. They make it taste so good! Also, GLUTEN FREE pizza crust that's crispy! Staff is super friendly as well.
