Best Gluten Free Italian in Chicago

Macello offers a dedicated gluten-free menu with a good variety of pasta, ravioli, and desserts, and staff are generally knowledgeable about gluten sensitivities. However, it’s not a fully dedicated GF facility, which introduces some risks of cross-contamination. Several reviews highlight excellent safety practices, but a few unfortunate incidents remind us that employee training and communication are critical. For celiac diners who prioritize safety and are comfortable with some precautions, Macello can be a worthwhile option, but caution is advised.

Formento's in Chicago’s West Loop shines as a gluten-free haven thanks to its knowledgeable staff and in-house gluten-free pasta, despite lacking a dedicated GF kitchen. Many reviews highlight their proactive approach—gluten-free bread, pasta, and safe modifications make it a top choice for celiac diners craving authentic Italian flavors. It’s a place where you can indulge confidently, knowing that safety and taste go hand in hand.
