I ordered GF pasta and I knew when I saw it that it wasn’t going to taste good. My instincts were right and it was the worst GF pasta I have ever had. The waitress was nice and asked to get something else so I just ordered a grilled chicken breast. In my opinion, their selection of GF choices is limited and not appealing. I would skip going here unless there is nowhere else’s to go. The salad has always been good (order without croutons). For such a big chain and the amount of resources, I would expect better.
I ended up with a pretty bad migraine after eating GF pasta here. They tout a GF menu but only a couple things on it. Asked for no croutons and they just put them on the side. I am gluten intolerant and not celiac but definitely not safe for either!
No
Olive Garden is NOT safe for celiacs. I've tried a couple times at a couple locations, including this one, and have always gotten sick from gluten.
No
Gross... Really bad. The gluten free pasta was nasty.
The pasta was ok... They really need gluten free bread to offer to customers.
My experience tonight at Olive Garden was excellent. The waitress was knowledgeable about my options. Then the manager came over and acknowledged that I had requested for gluten-free options and insured me that they would change gloves to maximize safety. Then a third person came over to serve food and he pointed out that it was gluten-free and that they changed their gloves when making my food. I don't have allergies, but I am sensitive to gluten. I don't know if it would be safe for celiac, but it was safe for me.

I just went to Olive Garden, stated my allergy, and then ordered Gluten Free pasta option they have, if I dont remember wrong it was Gluten Free Rotini with meat sauce. I didn’t get any reaction, (I usually get respiratory and skin reaction to gluten) and it was absolutely delicious!!!

I have eaten here twice and both times it was great! The servers are knowledgeable and their menu has everything labeled well so you can see what you have to choose from! They also instantly knew and aknowledged no croutons on the salad as soon as I mentioned a gluten allergy. I do wish they had more sauce options than what was listed.
