Please stay away from this establishment if you are celiac, I got glutened. I am both GF and DF and they tried to kill me on my business trip with coworkers. They said I could have the dressing on the salad, I asked them to double check since I couldn't in the past. They did double check and confirmed I could not. My GF DF pasta had spaghetti pieces in it that I was picking out I stopped eating after about 1/3 of the dish. This restaurant needs to take things seriously before they put someone in the hospital or kill them.

Big fail at this Olive Garden. We informed our waiter of cross contamination concerns and he relayed to kitchen, but then we found pieces of gluten shells pasta mixed up in our gluten free rotini. They are not charging us for it, but the damage has already been done.
No
I've been there twice now and enjoyed both times. They have clearly marked gf options. The staff is knowledgeable of cross contamination and will let you know what can be done. They have a system in place for letting the kitchen staff know - always a good sign in my book. The pasta was cooked well (not a mushy mess). The 2nd time the waitress wasn't as familiar with gf, so she asked questions and found out answers. Again, another good sign in my book. I have a wheat intolerance, not celiac, so minute cross contamination is not a problem for me. It's now on my go to list of restaurants for ease of ordering and filling options.
the gf menu is a joke. there is not hardly anything to choose from. also when I got my food there was a regulard spaghetti noodle mixed in with my gf noodles. this may not hurt some, but could be a big deal for the ones that are extremely sensitive.
No
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.
