Expect tasty appetizers and tender chicken, but be prepared for some hit-or-miss dishes and a lackluster dessert experience.

Ate at Agio for a post funeral luncheon. The appetizers were delicious though the bruschetta was light on cheese. The salad was sparse and soggy. The chicken parmesan was tender and the raviolis tasty. The potatoes were dry but the sauce helped. The penne in vodka sauce needed more seasoning. The dessert plates were defrosted premade. Best part was how they served my cousin who is gluten intolerant a delicious lunch!
This family-owned Italian gem serves up delicious dishes in large portions, making it a local favorite for comfort food lovers.

The food was delicious, everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I do wish there were additional dietary options (dairy or soy free). I appreciate they do have gluten free pasta. The minestrone soup was tomato based and reminded me of Campbell's tomato soup.
A neighborhood gem with a vibrant atmosphere, unique plant decor, and changing monthly specials that keep things fresh and exciting!

Always nice music and flowers. Truly a neighborhood favorite. Try the chocolate milkshake! Also, the gluten free pancakes are great as well. Dinner specials change monthly so make sure to try their Italian menu items.
I use to love going to Tap House with my family until I found out I had a gluten intolerance. Tap House is the MOST gluten unfriendly place there is in Palatine. There are hardly any options on the menu that are amendable. My co-workers and I recently had an outing and everyone wanted to go to Tap House, but because a few of us were GF, we all decided to go to Pizza Bella instead. :(
Surprisingly delicious burgers shine here, and even with crowds, everything runs smoothly for a satisfying experience.

I wasn't expecting all the much out of this place, but I was shocked at how delicious their burgers were. Also, they have gluten-free buns for the celiac weirdos like me. Also, even when the place is packed, the staff are able to stay on top of things. I will say they did make a minor mistake on my bill last time I was there, but they corrected it immediately and made sure I was happy with everything, even when there was a crowd of customers around us. Definitely will be coming back! Love this place!
Great Oktoberfest vibes here, but expect some inconsistencies with the menu and higher prices for what you get.

Met some friends on a Monday night since their Daily Special was half priced burgers.
Located in downtown Palatine near the train station,parking can be an issue. Luckily it was not too crowded and we found parking nearby. The restaurant was not very crowded and we were seated immediately.
They have a nice beer selection so I tried their Red Ale named the Vendetta. 6.3ABV. It was OK.
Their food menu is quite large but pricey. They do offer a gluten free menu and they have Daily Specials which they list on their Web site.
We started with an order of potato skins which were overcooked and dry.
I tried the Gaucho Burger that was supposed to have a Tajin seasoned steak burger ( I did not taste Tajin) ,Guacamole,Pico,Cheddar Cheese and Tortilla Strips. This burger was lacking in flavor. I asked for Medium Well and everyone's burgers were overcooked. The Guacamole tasted store bought,the cheese was cold and not melted and the Tortilla Strips were stale. Thank goodness I only paid half of the normal 18.00 they charge.
I really had high hopes for this place but with so many brewpubs in the Northwest suburbs,I probably won't go back.
Large menu with lots of choices. Homemade food and very tasty. Will swap out items for my diet but I would be concerned about cross-contamination for severe allergies and Celiac. Their grilled veggies are very good.
Denny's is really our go to place when we're on the road because we can always find gluten-free options for my wife. Also love that we get a 15% AARP discount.
Granny D was so helpful making sure we had a table outside for my mom's birthday! Everyone enjoyed their meals. Their Gluten free pancakes are delicious!!!
Savor delightful coffee and a variety of tasty breakfast pastries, perfect for a quick stop before catching your train.

The Sweet Honey Bee latte was really good. There was also a good selection of breakfast pastries in the case. There were six types of muffins which were gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan.
