Had a large family meal at the restaurant with DF and GF requirements, and the whole group was happy. Lots of menu options, and the staff is very attentive and knowledgeable.

Gluten-free menu with many choices, top quality food and service. It doesn’t get any better for gluten-free dining. I’ve eaten here many times over the last few years and have never had a reaction or been disappointed in any way. Very accommodating for groups and families. Highly recommended.

Very impressed. The GF bruschetta was SO good. I asked where they get their bread, the waitress said the bakery on sells to restaurants. ☹ Will definitely be coming back to try more food off the GF menu.
Tried the Italian Grinder this this visit. OMG.. SO good!

Extensive options, and I felt very safe eating here. The owner’s children have celiac and other allergies, so they prioritize safety and allergen training. The server was knowledgeable and said that people come from far away just for their gluten free options. The portions are huge, and each meal comes with bread and a salad. Great option if you’re in the area.

Wonderful gluten free menu. Staff was very knowledgeable already about cooking food in separate space and making chef aware of allergy. They had gluten free bread for the table. I tried a pasta dish which was delicious! Will definitely recommend.

Always an enjoyable safe experience. Have never gotten sick and the food is yummy!
Review
Separate gluten free menu and the pasta tasted great almost just like a normal pasta! They asked if I was coeliac or just gluten sensitive which I always think is a good sign they know what they are talking about and we’re very knowledgeable about the ingredients in their dishes! Even had gluten free bread baskets!

I am so happy they have such a big gluten free menu! Fried chicken, sandwiches, pastas, pizzas, and more! GF bread to start and desserts available. The owner’s child is celiac, so the kitchen staff is very well trained and waitstaff is knowledgeable.

Love love love Traverso’s. They have a separate GF menu and it’s huge. Staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. Owners treat you like family and the food is excellent. So many options. I’ve been there many times over the last 10 years and they keep getting better. Get there early as this is a popular neighborhood gem.

We ordered our entire meal from gluten free menu. A Caesar salad was on the gf menu and it came with croutons. My husband and daughter assumed they were gf and are some when I said no we have to ask. Then we asked and sure enough they were gluten. A big exposure and I hope my family doesn’t get sick. They have a big gf menu. Make sure your waitstaff knows your needs as we told ours a lot of times but obviously she didn’t get it.

Review
I have never seen such an extensive gluten free menu it was the best day. I felt totally included as I was the only one gluten free one in my group. I got my own loaf of bread before the meal- I have never had this anywhere before! For my meal I ordered alfredo pasta which was also amazing!!! Then to top it off we ordered the “goosy cake” gluten free and regular, and everyone was loving the gluten free version. Overall amazing meal and will be back again sometime.

Review
This was my first time actually eating in a restaurant since being diagnosed 8 months ago. I was very scared. I asked for the gluten free menu and right away when the waitress got to the table asked if I was gluten free when I notified them I had celiacs. She proceeded to ask if it would be okay if she brought me a gluten free bread roll. My food was FANTASTIC. It was also my anniversary so they brought out a gluten free dessert for us and it was so good. I got home and cried from happiness to feel somewhat normal. I had 0 reaction and felt completely safe.

Spoke with manager who said they have dedicated fryers, dedicated prep area, dedicated fridge. Their pizza crust is pre made so that it is not contaminated.
Pizza, pasta, sandwiches, desserts, GF bread, and more! Really complete menu.

Go to place for celiac-safe meal.
Review
So much good gluten free Italian food! I love the Grinder and Fried Calamari. They also have a GF kid's menu.
Review
As a previous commenter said... It felt so "normal" to order here! It was so nice to have so many choices! Very delicious and was able to take left overs home!
Review
Amazing! We have celiac and my teens enjoyed gf fried chicken, calamari and bruschetta. We have never felt more ‘normal’ eating out. Food was delicious and service was great!
Review
I will drive out here from downtown Chicago for the fried chicken. It’s delicious.
Review
Amazing! Dedicated kitchen and staff makes sure they clean and minimize the risk of cross contamination. Their menu is huge and the kids menu gives young gluten free kids an opportunity to eat like other kids. Also they have many appetizers and a gluten free bread basket. This restaurant includes everyone and makes sure everyone celiac or not feels safe.
Review
Went here after reading the great reviews. Staff is very friendly and extremely helpful and accommodating. I am GF as well as corn-free, with the latter actually being the more difficult sensitivity when eating out. Our server Karen was awesome, being careful to check with the kitchen regarding any GF menu item that I was interested in. Unfortunately the GF pastas, breads and pizza crusts all contained corn, but Karen helped me come up with a cocktail as well as a custom GF/CF entree combination that worked and was delicious (although the breaded chicken strips were barely seasoned and lacking in flavor.) My husband had the regular pizza and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would not hesitate to recommend Traverso's to someone who has to eat gluten-free; the selection is great, and the staff's attention to detail certainly increases the odds of a good dining experience.
Review
Extensive gluten free menu (almost mirrors the regular menu). I have been told they have a GF dedicated fryer.
Review
My daughter has multiple food allergies. The waitress and chef were wonderful. They produced a food list with asterisked items that could be substituted in addition to the gluten free menu! The chef seems like an expert on allergens in food ingredients. All of our food was delish. My husband, daughter and I were very pleased.
