Food was delicious as usual! No issues with cross contamination and no sickness. Only downside was the menu is quite limited for gluten free. Im a huge alfredo lover and was sad to see that it was not gluten free. I know some brands are some arent. But overall i was pleased eith the knowledge of the staff and carefulness as well. Grateful for any type of gluten free hopeful to see a larger menu in the future.

We had lunch today. There's a separate menu and are server was GF aware. My daughter ordered GF chicken breast and pasta. Unfortunately, she was served regular pasta. She asked the person who delivered the food if the pasta was GF, because it looked the same as her sister's regular pasta. She was told it was GF, but she got violently I'll about 45 minutes later. When I called the restaurant they confirmed that the spaghetti she ate contained gluten, because they do not have GF spaghetti.
Eaten here twice since the gluten free menu was available and went home to be sick both times. Both waiters had zero knowledge of what celiacs even was which is astonishing given they offer gluten free options.
Olive Garden has a separate gluten free menu that also gives the calorie count! Great selections!
Asked my server if they had a Gluten Free menu. He told me they did and would get me one. The manager came to my table to ask about my sensitivity and how severe the allergy was. She then showed me the gluten free menu on the table kiosk. In addition went over all the kitchen protocols to protect me such as new glove and utensils. Salad made from scratch directly from the cooler to prevent any cross contamination, if I wanted the steak or salmon that it would be cooked in a clean sauté pan vs the grill to prevent any cross contamination. GF pasta is cooked in different water from all other pasta. Red flagging the kitchen ahead of my order so that they could take the necessary precautions.

We were very impressed with our entire experience. As soon as we told the hostess my daughter has Celiacs, she told us they had gluten free options, prepped separately and she would notify the manager so they would stop at our table. The waiter was familiar with our needs, happy to answer our questions on the menu and the manager also came over, introduced himself and said he would talk to the kitchen staff himself to ensure her food was prepped safely. She had pasta with sauce and grilled chicken, as well as the salad. We wish we had asked for the sauce on the side, as it was heavy on the sauce, but other than that, we were very pleased. Thank you Olive Garden for a good, safe place to eat while traveling!

The gluten free rotini was very yummy! I honestly couldn’t tell a difference. One of the managers was also very helpful and made sure my dish was prepared separately from gluten-containing ingredients to avoid cross-contamination. Our server said that the GF pasta could be substituted for any of the dishes on the menu, but double check what you order because some of the dishes will still have gluten-containing ingredients.

Has gluten free noodles I went there and ordered and told the waiter multiple times that this is an allergy and to make sure to tell the cooks that I NEED gluten free. Well he gave me grilled chicken instead of fried chicken so I thought I was in the clear… he gave me normal noodles.

My server had celiac so I felt safer dining here knowing that. I ordered a salad without croutons and grilled chicken. You can also get this with grilled shrimp. There is also steak, salmon and rotini pasta.
