Ashley Kauffman

Gluten free deep dish!!! And gluten free bread too!!!

Tabatha Phillips

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

Jessica Freeman

Pasta. Fancy dinner.

Sarah Lisy

I've never been to a gluten-free restaurant before. We went with family for brunch. Since 2 of our party are gluten-free, it was great not to try to find something you can have and still worry about cross contamination. Their waffles are funnel cakes...so good.

Jake G

Busy place, get on the waiting list! Amazing gluten-free breakfast! Lots of bacon, really impressed, absolutely delicious.

Maria Fernanda Flores

The Gluten Free option is quite good, really recommended 10/10 ⭐️

Liv G

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

Taylor Nicole

smack dab is one of my new favorite breakfast spots! staff was so kind and friendly which made the experience that much better. as a gluten free girly breakfast sandwiches are hard to find in the city and they have two different kinds of gluten free bread that is amazing!!! love that they are so gluten free and dietary restriction friendly. will def be on my regular rotation now :)

C. Lor

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.

Rachael Blanton

A great place to visit if you’re gluten free! Very accommodating!

kristina dang

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.

Hallie Meunier

Genuinely some of the best food I have had in a long time! So fresh and delicious. Staff was so friendly and it was such a cute vibe. I also have celiac disease and need to eat strictly gluten free and they were so knowledgeable about cross contamination and there were only 3 things on the whole menu that couldn’t be made gluten free. This will definitely be a regular spot for me!

Makara Gerber

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!

Allison Jones

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

Stephon Berry

Enjoyed the Nadine, just substituted the pepperoni for chicken and my partner had a gluten free pesto chicken pizza. All in all a good dinner. I'd recommend for those with disposable income as it's not cheap, but it's not exorbitantly expensive. A single small pizza in enough to fill one person

Jane Wilberding

I LOVE this place. The space is super large, clean and open. The service is great. And the ciders are solid. I like that they are constantly rotating and trying new ones out. But if and when they are too weird for me, they always keep some on the menu permanently (the pedestrian cider is a fav). I have celiac and there are plenty of GF options and staff are always helpful in making sure nothing is cross contaminated.

MERVE NAJA

Fantastic food and service! We ordered through door dash, everything was great. The bad apple burger is fantastic, I had it on gluten free bun which was great, it was holding well and not crumbly. The fries were also fantastic, which is rare because fries don’t travel very well, I am sure they are even more amazing when eaten at the restaurant. We also had the fried cheese curds and the chocolate mousse, both of them were perfectly executed. I requested my gluten free burger to be marked on the notes and someone from staff called me on the phone to make sure that they understood my request correctly, I am grateful for the sensitivity. Hats off to the chefs back in the kitchen and thanks! Hopefully we can go and dine in too.

Callie Bunker

Great place to take family and friends, breakfast, lunch or dinner all delicious. Have celiac and there are always safe options for eating gluten free. Servers are attentive and knowledgeable

Amanda Whittington

DELICIOUS gluten free crepes!! 10/10

Lucy Fiorito

Great food and I’ve never gotten a reaction from it

Meg P

I do NOT recommend for gluten allergies. They have an amazing menu. However, transitioning from no gluten allergy to allergy dining here post diagnosis they have super limited options and their Andros seasoning contains gluten! Why?! It’s not necessary.

Leon Rishniw

The miso soup was great and started the meal off on a high. Sadly the sushi course was disappointing. The fish was mediocre at best (saba and medai), uni was bland, avocado in my roll was not ripe. Too much rice on the nigiri and overcooked. Tea was tasty and refilled regularly. They had gluten-free soy and were communicative about gluten in dishes. Service was great. Sadly it was overpriced for the quality of the food being served. Won’t be going back.

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.

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!

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.

julie macy

Everything about this cafe is charming, including Caesar. He makes your dining experience very personal, and the food is prepared right before you in an open kitchen. The atmosphere is very cozy, the food was delicious, and the experience was outstanding. This place is truly unique. They even offer gluten free pierogis!! This was the best dining experience on our Chicago trip.

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.

Jessica Seeley

Delicious celiac safe breakfast!

Sarah W

Great GF pizza! Authentic Chicago food - a must visit. They cook it on a separate tray and do not cut it to avoid cross contact

Justin Craven

Great food & customer service. Amazing vegan & gluten free options. Must try!!!!!

Michael Baron

GF pita, saganaki, and more!

Jessica Nelson

Cute little Cafe. Was looking for a place that had a gluten free menu while visiting. Server was friendly and knowledgeable and reassured me that they had a seperate prep area and cooked gluten free food on a seperate grill. I ordered the steak sandwich and fruit cup. Little pricey for a sandwich that was more veggie than meat. Fruit had a funny taste to it, maybe because it was out of season. Husband ordered regular steak sandwich as well, it was in a pita. He liked it. Daughter ordered chicken club and thought it was very good. They also gave gluten free dessert. I did not indulge in dessert. Overall, not a bad place to eat. If in Chicago again I would definitely stop in. I have Celiac and did not get sick from eating here, so that is a bonus.

Christopher Buckhalter

Great experience, gluten friendly. My daughter has celiac, and they were very accommodating

Dharmy DC

I search for gluten free breakfast places during my stay in Chicago and Meli came up in result walking distance from Hilton hotel Warm friendly dinner with bar seating or table service The gluten free pancakes were delicious and large stack with jug of maple syrup on side. Very chilled place and I would add this to my visit again list

Jacqueline Beaulieu

Absolutely delicious meal and fantastic service. Thank you to our waitress, Stella for great service and taking an amazing picture of our group. Gaijan was great with my gluten intolerance. Would 100% recommend.

Liv G

More than half the menu is gluten free. They use separate fryers and prep space for the gluten free items. Everything is vegan. Soy free options too. Very yummy!!

Colin O'Brien

I am vegan and have a gluten intolerance. Their pancakes can be made both vegan and gluten free. They were delicious along with their street taco avocado toast. Highly recommend coming here!

Jodi Meyer

The pulled pork nachos are gigantic! Definitely share them with friends. The Wrigley salad is like the team- don't underestimate. It's great! Try the Lance pizza. Gluten-free was delightful. Sarah answered all my questions about food sensitivities and helped make sure my experience was top notch. We will be coming back.

Janet

Wow! they really have the best vegan gluten free pancake🥞!!! tofu scrambler-eggless was delicious and wholesome. Big portions great value of your money. Amparo managed to take care of many customers with a very kind attitude, calm, charming, knowledgeable and extremely good on what she does. Eric and the rest of the staff are so friendly.

jor A

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.

Leah

I don't know what took me so long to try this place, but I'm so happy I did. Delicious salads and pastries and lots of gluten-free options. Looking forward to trying their breakfast too. The prices are pretty average now that all food is so expensive. You're better off spending on healthy, well-made food.

Felicia Grossman

The best prosciutto I’ve ever had and excellent gluten free pasta!

Sara F.

Had a work lunch here last week, and was happy to see there is a separate gluten free menu available, so I didn't get my hopes up about something I couldn't actually have. My dish came out with a little flag indicating "allergy" so there was no confusion at the table. Most importantly, the food was very good!

Andrew Delicata

Great value and a unique experience. If you eat gluten free, make sure you double check with the kitchen staff that all of the food items (not just the injera) are gluten free.

Liv G

All of the ice cream is gluten free and vegan, as are the waffle cones. They do make some baked goods with gluten but are very knowledgeable on keeping them separate.

Callie Bunker

Similar essence to a chipotle but for Korean food. The food was hot and fresh. The pork belly was incredible. Gluten free items are clearly labeled on the menu. You can either order at the counter or at the ordering kiosk. Will definitely be back to work my way through the menu!

Angeline Ungerer

A perfect little cafe!! Enjoyed the menu and Gluten Free options. The food was tasty, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere is fun. Highly recommend!!

Julia R

Gluten free avocado melt chicken sammich thing is so good. I like the buffalo one too!! I usually get sick even sometimes when in dedicated gluten free restaurants bc I have other food allergies etc but don't rly have issues after eating at this place. However, I do make sure I explain my issues to the server & they take things seriously (they are super nice about it too). I will eat one half of it per serving, though. Good portion sizes 👍 plus is in a very cute (historic) Chicago neighborhood. Nice outdoor seating in the warmer months.

M Pawlowski

Wow! What a wonderful restaurant. We had this place on our radar for a while and finally went for Friday date night. We ordered the lamb shank and a tlayuda. Both were very flavorful and delicious. This place has a very fun menu and we will be back soon to try additional items. The servers were very nice and they bring out chips with bean dip for an appetizer which was a fun and delicious change of pace from chips and salsa. This place is very friendly for gluten free diners and items that contain gluten are clearly marked on the menu.

Lior Seidel

Really great crepes, all available gluten-free
