Nancy Richards

Make a reservation! Always busy. Adorable outdoor patio. Gluten Free menu. Shared the gluten free baked Ziti and a gluten free pizza. Food and drinks were amazing!

Joanne Gresh

Best place around for gluten free food. Not too many restaurants can pull this off but they do....

Sophia V

11/10! Their servers were excellent, particularly Carter who was attentive and so friendly to our group. They had the biggest gluten free menu I've ever seen, although I would have liked for vegetarian/vegan-possible options to have been marked. The food was absolutely scrumptious and very fresh, even the fruit. Can't wait to be back!

Kathleen Bennett

Our favorite gluten free place!

Setareh Kaikavousi

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.

Melissa Windover

Great gluten free options!

Jake Bamberg

Tia was an excellent waitress! She was very helpful with my wife’s gluten allergy!

Ally

Beautiful restaurant, great service, and everyone is so fast and so kind I always enjoy my time here and it is so delicious so many options for vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, and many other diet types! I love how versatile the menu is as well as how unique it is! It is certainly not your average sushi, it’s better!

Christina Muco

So thankful for Lou’s gluten free deep dish pizzas! Seriously the best!

Lisa Doudalis

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!!!

Hope Manning

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

Keith Garstecki

I would consider Jason’s Deli a step above fast food. Some healthy options and gluten free options if necessary.

Joseph Heinen

Unreal gluten free pizza. Best we've ever had

Tangelo Dreams

I eat gluten free pizza here is too bland for my taste..

J B

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.

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!

Jeremy McKean

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.

Olivia Palak

Always a great time. Good for people who are celiac-special and separate fryer! Good service and yummy wine!!!

Daniel & Donna Glembot

This place rocks. Our server was very attentive and professional. The food was fantastic. Exactly what you expect at a Chef Ramsey restaurant. My wife has celiac, and the staff clearly knew exactly how to prepare, handle, and manage her food.

Lynn Flynn

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

sowmith daram

Love the unlimited toppings and gluten free crust options. I have been to this place multiple times. I always liked how customers are treated and how good the food tastes. And very reasonable price. If we can't decide a place for food we just go to Mod! Highly recommend it.

Maya Quijada

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!

Allison Hostetler

Gluten free/Celiac disease friendly! Have never gotten ill, and the food is delicious! Very friendly staff.

Brian Kaminski

Had my lunch at Gia Mia today (7/21) with family. The service was very good, my server was very attentive. The resturant has plenty outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. I had the Ham Maker 6” pizza w/ a ceasar salad that was off their daily specials menu. They do have appitizers but not on the main menu or the dail specials menu. I tried the prosciutto.on bread. Couple slices of prosciutto drizzled with balsomic vinegar. It was pretty good. Next I tried their version of “garlic bread. It was pretty disappointing since all it was just pizza crust drizzled with olive oil, no taste of garlic. The pizza was delish! The crust wasn’t over baked and it was soft, the sauce was very good. No complaints from the family. They do offer gluten free items for a few bucks more.

Sarah Phenia

Gluten-free Limon-blue pancakes are amazing!! It was not super sweet, which is perfect. Such friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Tom

Grabbed an iced caramel latte and a cold brew with oat. The latte tasted VERY strongly of burnt coffee. The cold brew was OK. Food options for GF/Celiac's folks are rough here. The gluten-free toast is definitely Naperville-priced (for those not familiar with their 'burbs, I'm trying to say the pricing was somewhere between "ouch" and "boing!" [For those not familiar with a classic "White Christmas" reference, I'm saying it's expensive]). Butters tastes good though - not worth the price of admission, but tasty nonetheless.

Olivia Palak

Sebastian, Riley, the general manager, and kitchen staff went over and beyond. Being celiac it’s always scary going out to eat. I spoke to Sebastian ahead of time and they really went over and beyond for me. Riley and Sebastian spoke to the kitchen staff several times to ensure there would be no cross contamination with my food. I couldn’t be more thankful and grateful-you have no idea how much this means. I didn’t get sick!!!! I had tacos. And they were delightful. Ambiance is always great-love the plants. This is a safe place for celiacs to come, just do your part as well to help the staff. Thank you!!!!!!!!! I’ll come back. And the cocktails are always so yummy. Thank you.

LJ P

There were only a handful of items that were not GLUTEN FREE, so I was able to eat there safely and did not get sick. They have a list of items at the register and can tell you what’s not safe. It was very yummy! I got the shish kabob chicken, rice, and falafels.

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.

Mary Rachford

Loved all our meals from this fantastic Italian restaurant. Kim is an excellent hostess and Colleen is a wonderful server. Highly recommend the salmon salad and tilapia piccata, they also have a wonderful gluten free menu!!

Joseph Johnson

Overall the food was good. They have Gluten Free 12" Pizzas ($16-17) which are good but pricey. If you like a thicker crust get the house crust. The service was quite bad overall with a couple bright spots. When we arrived we were the only ones in the dining area. By the time we left it was full. It's a smaller dining area than most restaurants but the waitress was pretty much non-existent. Drinks ran dry and she messed up an appetizer order. I chalk it up to being young and inexperienced..A lady from the back area, maybe the bar area came around to help and was fantastic. The parking lot is terrible and gets crazy full Friday nights so park in the second row or further if you don't want to feel like you're leaving a concert after dinner. Overall 7/10.

Placed an online order for a VEGAN roll for me and a Stromboli with vegetarian sausage for my husband yesterday . Order information: 3/12 order #94. Upon arriving my order wasn’t ready and was told it would take approximately 5 mins. While waiting I observed the employees laughing, joking with one another and of course working. I thought, this must be a fun place to work. I specifically mentioned VEGAN in my order 3 times AND stated I have a dairy allergy. So imagine my disappointment after arriving home, settling in for the night, opening the box to cut a piece, reheat it, take it out of the oven and I see cheese oooozing out of the roll!!!!!!! It’s been a while since I’ve eaten here because the rolls are pricy. But thought I would splurge a little on dinner tonight. Needless to say, I will not be returning any time soon or ever. I figure my money is well spent at the grocery store buying the ingredients and making my own roll than coming here and having to recover from exposure to dairy and meat. I spoke to the manager Brad and he refunded me the cost of the vegan roll only; however, that covers their mistake. It does not cover the inconvenience of me having to figure out my dinner, my time, their ability to get it right the FIRST TIME, and the stain of my confidence in the company to take allergies and dietary restrictions seriously. Perhaps your employees need more training. As all employees should know the difference between Vegan, Vegetarian, gluten free and egg allergens when working with food since people can actually die if they get it wrong!!! Or maybe that group does not need to work together again if they can’t get orders correct and have fun at the same time.

Steve Hirner

We dine here often, and we enjoy the ambience, the food, the wine, and the service every time. My wife is gluten-free and all their pasta can be either GF or whole wheat by request. I recently have enjoyed their pork belly dish as well as their chicken saltimbocca...delish!! This is a go-to place for us to unwind with a glass of red wine and yummy Italian food!

Schlotzsky’s is a restaurant that truly stands out in the world of fast-casual dining, offering a variety of delicious meals that cater to different tastes and preferences. I recently visited one of their locations and was thoroughly impressed with both the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. From the moment I walked in, I could tell that Schlotzsky’s takes pride in providing a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff greeted me with friendly smiles, and the restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, setting a positive tone for the meal ahead. One of the highlights of my visit was the famous “Original” sandwich. This signature dish did not disappoint. The sourdough bread was perfectly toasted, giving it a satisfying crunch, while the combination of meats, cheese, and fresh vegetables inside made for a truly flavorful experience. The sandwich had the perfect balance of savory and tangy flavors, and the generous portion size left me feeling completely satisfied. It’s easy to see why this has become Schlotzsky’s hallmark item, and it certainly lived up to the hype. In addition to the standout sandwiches, Schlotzsky’s offers a wide range of other menu options, all of which look equally tempting. I decided to try their fresh, crisp salad, which was loaded with high-quality ingredients like ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, and a flavorful dressing. It was the perfect complement to the sandwich, offering a refreshing contrast in texture and taste. I also appreciated the fact that Schlotzsky’s offers gluten-free and vegetarian options, making it a versatile choice for anyone with dietary restrictions. The service was another aspect that truly made my visit enjoyable. The staff was attentive and efficient, ensuring that my food arrived quickly without feeling rushed. The restaurant had a relaxed, casual vibe, which made it the ideal place for a laid-back meal. I also appreciated that Schlotzsky’s provides

I usually love Buona but this location is a joke. Who tries to serve a warm milkshake??? When I called to complain about issues with our order, the manager immediately placed us on hold for 5+ minutes only to be rude and unwilling to help with the issue. I’ve been a frequent customer of Buona because they have gluten free options, but I will NEVER be visiting this location again after the awful experience. Shout out to the manager for trying to gaslight me into believing that the adult gluten free pizza should be less than 5inches (the children’s size)!

We've been interested in visiting Vais for a while now so we decided to celebrate our anniversary here. We were not disappointed. First off our server, Nicole, was terrific. She was very personable, very friendly, and very sweet. We always have a more difficult time dining due to my wife being gluten free, however, it was no issue here. They had a plethora of gluten free options and my wife raved about her dish several times. My dish was the vodka cavatappi with shrimp and it was spectacular. I highly recommend. The one and only complaint was that the garlic bread was too hard. I legitimately thought I might break a tooth on it. Still, not enough to dissuade me from giving them 5 stars. We'll definitely be returning for another meal and I feel confident we'll be just as satisfied as our first time around.

So fun! Riley and the kitchen were wonderful with my gluten allergy!! Definitely recommend!

Nivi Devaraj

Tasty options for the gluten free--shared the bacon flatbread with GF crust and the asian salad with wontons on the side--both GREAT choices! Will return again. Just wish the service was more attentive to keep things moving along.

Nick Wokurka

Great selection of menu items! Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. Justin doesn’t miss on the cocktails from behind the bar and I will absolutely return from an hour away

Barb Ragsdale

Great value. So much food for the money. We usually get the pig out package and just reheat the leftovers. The meat reheat great (and I usually hate leftovers). The flavor is always amazing. Love the variety of sides. The sassy sauce has an awesome flavor. They are also great about letting us know if something is not gluten free. Always a nice treat!

Classic Kina

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.

Once again, my family is thrilled to have Nicky's Red Hots prepare our birthday party feast. Some of our favorites are the Greek chicken, Greek potatoes, and gyros. The servings are plentiful, the food delicious and everyone from age 3-92 loved the food. The customer service is amazing. They always take the time to help me figure out how much food we need. They have the food ready and hot when we get there. This is a family favorite. We have gluten-free family members, and they make sure to let us know what is fine for them.

Suzanne Meshkati

My husband has a severe gluten allergy, which can cause anxiety when dining out. We were floored by James at the front and the team behind the scenes - they were so kind and accommodating to our needs. We will be back, and I highly recommend to anyone with special dietary needs.

Julie Chanzit

Great choices for gluten-free!

Emily Wisneski

I went to this restaurant with my family, only having Indian food one other time and I was blown away by the flavors of everything. I am gluten free and our waiter, Vlad, did a very good job making sure every dish that I ordered was safe for me to eat. The food was enough to share with the whole table and it allowed me to try multiple dishes. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to try Indian food.

Not a ton of gluten free options, but hey, "Bread" is in the name. What gluten free options there are though are pretty tasty. It's also just a cozy place to enjoy a chat with friends over lunch.

Karol Roza

Good experience. Many options for gluten-free dishes and although the place's specialty is meat, they have options that can be adapted for vegetarians. Good drinks menu and we received very good service from Sheryl. We will be back!

Kelly Timko Glassberg

Delicious food from scratch! With a salsa bar-yum! Extremely friendly staff & delicious house-made margaritas! Gluten free options!

Ranee Martin

I'm vegan but I don't like most vegan cheese. I cannot tell you what a hard time we have had trying to order a pizza with no cheese. The first 2 times, they still put cheese on it. The third time, they gave me a gluten free crust. I don't want a gluten free crust. Please stop trying to guess what I want and just give me a regular pizza, no cheese.
