I went to Chicago on a road trip and came across this gem. Gave me and my party not just amazing service, but above and beyond service. They offer a bunch of gluten free options too, even asking before ordering to ensure its not a dietary or allergen concern for anyone in the group. Not necessary for our group, but a notable mention that stood out for those who might want that info. We were exhausted from a long day's exploration of the city and came in late at night to eat with someone in my party's craving for deep dish. Food was delicious and made fresh to order, the front of house team member was very attentive and gave us the best experience. Food was delicious, portions were more than (plenty for leftovers) and the presentation was beautifully done. We ended up stopping by again before we left the next day, with the same superb dine in meal from the team that morning. From our visits we got loaded fries, regular fries, buffalo wings, deep dish pizza (twice), fettuccine alfredo (twice), cheesy garlic bread and one of their gourmet toasted foccacia sandwiches. I can't speak highly enough of every bit of food we recieved. They deliver such quality ingredients and it shows. If you're in Chicago, this place is a must. I will definitely come back next trip.

I have Celiac and this place was outstanding. I immediately let the server know I have Celiac and asked about the dedicated fryer and cross contact and she confirmed and said everything can be made gluten free except for the mushroom 'escargot'. The food was absolutely incredible. We got the slow cheetah drink, sweet corn hummus, moroccan onion dip, Big Eye Tuna & Summer Melon, Feta & Olives, Crispy Potatoes, and Lamb & Beef Kefta. All amazing, and I think our favorite of the lot was the moroccan onion dip. They have house made gluten free crackers for the hummus dips that were very delicious and crunchy. I always wait to write my reviews until the next day when I know I'm not sick from being glutened, and can confirm I did not get glutened here. Wish I took more pics of the food!

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.

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!!

Corie Anderson

Always great! They do the best gluten free pizza crust around.

Good GF buns!

Jessica Freeman

Pasta. Fancy dinner.

William Millar

We drive all the way from Lake Geneva, Wi (1.5 hours) to come here. I have celiac and their gluten free pizza is phenomenal. The true star of the show is the Eloté dip- you will be craving it for months after you have it! Whenever we’re in the area for a concert or trip, we make sure to stop. Highly recommend!! One of the best pizza places we have been to!

Aitor Novo

Be careful if you have a food allergy. I am celiac, asked for gluten free fish and chips, but I got food contamination. It made me vomit shortly after finishing.

Sarah W

Dedicated GF restaurant with the best bowls! I love the fan favorite.

Sarah W

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!

Joel Greenwald

Monica Dempsey

Amazing- modern restaurant and attentive service. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options, and filling portions. The crispy potatoes deserve special mention- my group will be returning to try everything on the menu.

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.

Rachel Mandelker

100% Gluten free and so so good! You can bring home taquitos frozen or they can heat them up for you - loved it!!

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 ⭐️

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 :)

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.

Michael Baron

Rice noodles and knowledgeable on gluten free broth and other items

Isabella Dourigan

amazing donuts best gf ive had

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!

We wanted something quick and easy close to our hotel. We found food revival, an indoor food court. I chose art of Dosa, where everything is gluten free and vegan and absolutely delicous! Server was so helpful and made suggestions. I chose the Buffalo Dosa and it came with the greatest spicy sauce.

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!

Anna Keller

Ingrained is my favorite gluten free bakery in the city! I’ve never tried anything I didn’t love. All of the ingredients are so fresh and you can tell everything is made with love!

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

Jazmin Saban

Excellent place, great option if you have any dietary restrictions, it is all dairy free, gluten free, I loved it! I recommend

Kay S

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.

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.

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

Dori D

Always a wonderful experience. We shared a salad, pasta course, main course & dessert ; everything came already divided which was so nice. My guest has a gluten allergy and we had plenty of options, no problem

Liv G

Arepas are gluten free and delicious

Peter Basile Jr.

Great location/ambiance, great food, & great service! The fries & their sauces are off the charts delicious! Plenty of Gluten free options!

Rose H

Happy to have visited the Chicago location after going to Seattle's earlier this year. What a great spot.. A so happy to realize that most is gluten free! Vegans and non vegans alike should check this place out.

Rebekah Ozuna

Delicious donuts! There were plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The coffee was from Dark Matter and it was great too. The staff was friendly. We’ll be back.

Katie McKee

Have eaten here many times and have always felt fine after

David Wertheimer

Great homemade gluten free pasta

Lydia Munroe

My partner had the burger and got violently ill later in the evening - horrible vomiting. We called to let them know and ask for a potential refund or some remedy and haven’t heard back yet although it’s been three days. I also ordered salmon that was marked as being gluten free, but was served with wheat berries. I’m not celiac thankfully so I just picked around them, but that seems like a huge menu oversight. Our server was pleasant, but management doesn’t seem to care about their customer’s health.

Antoinette Bello

Great vegan restaurant. Hard to find a restaurant that serves plant based options on the menu, but this place serves 100% plant based dishes. There are gluten free options also and if you have nut allergies, they will accommodate you.

Rango Me

ASA WAS AMAZING!!! Catered to our gluten allergy!!! He was so attentive and kind will definitely come bavk

Frank Weigel

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

Lucy Fiorito

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

Michael A.

Stopped in for weekend brunch . They do a really good job with the offerings and selection of items for brunch . Impressed to see they had a gluten free only menu as well ! I decided to go with a sandwich option . They have a spicy Calabrian chili turkey sandwich with bacon and avocado on a ciabatta style bread that was delicious . Big portion too . If you get the fries as I did , make sure you add on the truffle aioli ! It goes so well with everything. Service was good and attentive . We had a reservation and glad we did as it did appear to fill up very quickly We will definitely be back here

Michael Baron

GF Detroit style pizza… life changer

Tony Kenobi

Best grilled cheese ever! My wife got the gluten free pita version and absolutely loved it as well. The sourdough they use gets a fantastic crunch, and the cheese tastes amazing. People complaining about the price need to go back to the preservative packed crap at McDonald's. Using only farmers market ingredients costs money. I'm glad to pay extra for quality.

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.
