Great tapas restaurant with a marked gluten-free menu. Just check with your server about cross contact issues. I love the brussel sprout salad and the chirizo wrapped dates!

We were in Chicago for business. My friend has severe allergies, gluten, nuts, strawberries, eggs. We selected Mon Ami Gabi based on options for gluten free. We made reservation and arrived about 20 minutes early. Entrance to the hotel is gorgeous. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Making sure we parked at the correct valet location (there's 2 one for residence one for restaurant. They brought us to the bar while we waited for seating. Barkeep was very friendly and very efficient. We didn't wait more then 20 minutes for our table. We were seated and we ensured they were aware of the concerns for gluten and other allergens. Waiter already was aware thanks to OpenTable reservation, I'd added a comment so they'd know ahead. They were extremely considerate pointed out the dishes that are GF. We skipped an appetizer and ordered dinner. The wait staff were friendly without being overly. Food was delivered quickly and cooked to perfection. I ordered medium rare beef and my friend ordered salmon almondine(without the almonds). Food was flavorful and delicious. Not only was our server attentive but the other staff ensured we were comfortable, well taken care of, and had everything we needed. They cleared dishes and glasses quietly while you ate without being distributive and made sure the water glasses were always full. I'd highly recommend the restaurant if you're in the area. For a Thursday the place was Busy. Reservations highly recommended. A mixture of date nights, family dinners (with younger kids) special occasions. Some folks were dressed up others in flannels and it all worked.

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.

Boka - A Good Dining Experience with Some Limitations Boka, situated in Lincoln Park, is known for its upscale ambiance and innovative menu. While the experience was pleasant, it fell short of the high expectations often associated with this Chicago favorite. Food & Menu: The menu, crafted by Chef Lee Wolen, presents modern American cuisine with some creative touches, including a few vegetarian and gluten-free options. One of our friends is gluten-intolerant, and the restaurant was able to accommodate this seamlessly, which we appreciated. While the food was well-prepared and enjoyable, it didn’t leave a lasting impression—good but not remarkable for the price point. Ambiance, Accessibility, & Family-Friendliness: Boka’s chic and serene interior makes it an appealing spot for an adult night out, but it’s not particularly suited for families with kids. Accessibility is a downside, especially when it comes to the restrooms, which could be challenging for guests with mobility needs, even though they were spotless. Service & Valet: The service was attentive and courteous, adding to the refined experience. We also took advantage of the valet service, which was $17 and cash-only—something to keep in mind if you plan to drive. While I didn’t try the wine and can’t comment on the pairings, the cocktail and non-alcoholic options looked appealing. Final Thoughts: Boka is a solid choice for a special occasion or an upscale meal in Chicago, with an elegant ambiance and good, accommodating service. However, given the price point and reputation, it didn’t quite achieve the “wow” factor. If you’re looking for a memorable, top-tier culinary experience, other Chicago spots may leave a stronger impression.

5/5 ordered the gluten free Sicilian pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. Hard to find a non thin crusted GF pizza. Our server Mina was amazing and delightful. Would come back again

They were able to accommodate Celiac and had gluten free and vegetarian/pescatarian options! My dad also can't eat shellfish or pork and they could accommodate that as well. The atmosphere was great, and the servers were very well informed and attentive. I don't want to discourage anyone from trying this restaurant, some of the food wasn't exactly my taste, but I was also trying some new foods that I haven't had before. I really enjoyed the scallops and chocolate dessert pictured. The more important thing to me is I'm gluten free with Celiac and I didn't get sick, it's safe for those with gluten allergies!

One day I decided to have dinner with all my family, for us it is difficult to find a good restaurant since we are all vegan, but we heard about this restaurant called Alinea, which met all our expectations, the vegan options were delicious and the service incredible , the atmosphere of this restaurant was magnificent, a negative point would be that there are usually too many people in the place and in my opinion the tables are close together, but the food is excellent has many options for vegetarian, vegan and many gluten-free foods too, meals worthy of a chef, we really need more restaurants like this in Chicago as there are very few, the staff always serves you in the best way and brings to your table everything you need, the atmosphere of this place is very elegant and feels relaxing so you will enjoy your food to the fullest, this place is ideal to take your partner or celebrate a special day with your friends, family and love

I attended a baby shower held in the private back room of The Range. A delicious gluten free brunch buffet was served. Everything was hot and tasty. Especially loved the turnip omelets. I love trying new dishes. The service was spot on.

Mike Chiu

Great service and amazing food. They also accommodate for gluten free and dairy free intolerance. Our go to place to eat pasta!

Marcia Cooley

Went with our adult kids for birthday celebrations. Delighted that all the appetizers that needed bread were enjoyed by all with their toasted gluten free bread brought alongside the naan and sourdough. Even the delicious Truffle Bucatini was prepared with gluten free pasta. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Steak & Ale Pot Pies were amazing. Service was attentive and friendly. Wish we could have had a table in the small room next to the bar area instead of being right by the bar but it the end we thoroughly enjoyed our meals

Jasmine

Such a good neighborhood spot. My boyfriend and I went here twice on our week visit to Chicago. We appreciate that they took a lot of care for his gluten allergy.

Mehdi Sijelmassi

So good. Hash browns were amazing and so was the omelette and coffee. Great service. I got gluten free toast and it was unbelievable. Highly recommend

Jessica Long

Great service. A fun space with a classic Italian flare. Nice big tables for parties and welcome for families. The food was tasty with gluten free menu options and a decent vegetarian selection.

Cherie Slabaugh

I just dined here this past weekend and had a great experience. Jose was my server and he was very kind in explaining what the gluten-free options were and went above and beyond with kindness when I was crying while telling my friends a story. The food was very delicious. I highly recommend the edamame hummus and the ramen. Jose made the night an even better experience.

This was a fantast little Italian restaurant in Lincoln Park. It was cozy with a good wine selection and great homey food. I had the gnocchi and it was delicious. They have gluten free options as well which was nice for an authentic place. The ambiance is perfect for a romantic but cozy date night.

Camryn Slosky

I have a gluten allergy and Drew was fantastic at making sure to confirm everything that was and wasn't gluten free

A very healthy option, gluten free bread, amazing salads and sandwiches. Very quick to go and reliable quality food.. Food usually ready within 5 to 10 minutes amazing!

Aaron Lau

Wonderful Thai food that can be made gluten free upon request. A few items we haven’t seen elsewhere in chicagoland, so we will definitely be going back to try some more.

Amie Krueger

GLUTEN FREE BITES GREAT patio space, service was quick and kind, which is what I needed. Food was good, I prefer limes over lemons 🍋 salsas were great!

Brent T

Nice igloos outside! Service is always excellent and the drinks/food are great! Can't wait for the indoor to be open again soon. Great brunch options - needs more gluten free options but plenty of good things to choose from!

Anna Hendricks

I truly have an addiction to sweetgreen! It’s very clear what is gluten free and the staff is very knowledgeable about ingredients. My favorite is the harvest bowl!

Anna Hendricks

Amazing pad Thai - Always a great gluten free option! Loved the cozy patio.

Aaron Hadley

The food was outstanding. Several cuts above typical Chinese food. One of the members of our party has a gluten allergy and Dees was able to accommodate it easily.

BOB Samples

We loved it! Great service, great location. But mostly great food. We started with The Fava Beans w/Truffle, The Calamari which was cooked to perfection and The Arugula Salad. Followed by The Bronzino Filet w/cappers, The Risotto w/ mushrooms-tomato-lobster bisque, and The “gluten-free” Pasta w/lemon sauce. The gluten-free pasta was amazing delicious! The Risotto was great too, but the Bronzino Filet was the home run dish. Then we finished with tiramisu and a torta di ricotta, paired with espresso. All three of us loved this place.
