Uno Chicago Grill

[Irene]

Hi, I'm not familiar with the allergy friendliness of this restaurant.  Anyone has anything good or not-so-good to share about this restaurant?  My son has been invited to have dinner there with friends so I'm trying to determine if he can safely participate.  He is allergic to nuts and shellfish.  I'll be calling the restaurant, of course, but would love to hear from those who have had personal experience with it.

Thanks!

Unos was the most allergy friendly visit we made nearly 8 years ago.  However our allergens are different than yours (but we were dealing with a more extensive list at the time).

I was wondering recently about this as well since there is one near the pool for swim team.  Let us know what you find out from calling the restaurant.

In 2008 I had a reaction at one. I can't remember if it was seame it shellfish--I would have to check our previous place. I'm thinking it was sesame (timing and stories are very different for me).

We're nuts/seafood. No Chicago Uno near us but we tried when traveling to visit relatives. They were *fantastic*. Manager and staff were knowledgeable. Easy to make a pizza without cross contamination. Granted--it was also in Rhode Island which has the wonderful law for restaurants/allergies. Still, I felt their training and education was from the chain, not the state.

An update - my son's outing at Uno's was this past Saturday and it went very well!  I'd spoken to the manager beforehand and he assured me they were able to accommodate guests with food allergies.  They do not use peanut oil or peanut flour and the pesto is nut free.  There is a dessert with peanut butter.  Of course my son knows to avoid desserts. 

Have a joyful and safe holiday everyone!
