"For Mediterranea’s owners Gerard Nudo and Gary McElroy, opening their Grant Park restaurant was an opportunity to promote the gluten-free lifestyle, while also demolishing the stereotype that gluten-free means stale and flavorless. Mission accomplished. The restaurant’s dishes are packed with the flavors of the southern Mediterranean, with a lengthy wine list to complement it all. Favorites include the eggplant tart, steak frites, flatbread pizza, and green shakshuka. Mediterranea’s kitchen and bakery are 100% gluten-free, and many of the dishes are vegan and vegetarian." - Eater Staff
