Celiac safety assessment and key features
Maggiano’s isn’t a dedicated gluten-free facility, but you know what? Their staff goes the extra mile—often sending the chef right to your table to discuss celiac safety and tailor your meal. While you won’t find a separate gluten-free menu, they’re known for using separate water for GF pasta and flagging gluten-free plates, and many celiacs have left happy and healthy. Still, it’s a shared kitchen, so there’s always a bit of that underlying anxiety—especially since mistakes (like accidental breading) have happened in rare cases. If you’re craving classic Italian with genuine effort toward allergy accommodation, Maggiano’s is one of the more reassuring chain options, but vigilance (and a good chat with the chef) is essential.
