Very good!!! Been here multiple times and it never disappoints. I always get gluten free noodles with marinara sauce with shrimp or chicken. Both are delicious. I would give 5 stars if they made their chicken gnocchi soup gf. I have made gluten free gnocchi soup copy cat before and it wasn't to hard. I would be even be willing to pay extra. however if this isn't possible, which I do understand if it isn't, i wish they offered better gf salad dressing since their house salad is usually bland. I love olive garden and will definitely come here again. I have never gotten sick and it's one of my favorite Italian restaurants.

Very limited options and lack of understanding from some of the staff. The pasta primavera is the only gluten free item that has any flavor.

I ordered the GF pasta and I thought it tasted fine. I was pleased that they are working on accommodating GF needs. I did feel bloated after but that could have been from eating too much... I didn't have any other symptoms. If eat there again. I'm only giving 3 stars because of the limited options.

You'd think for being such a big chain they'd try harder. Two pasta dishes that are practically the same. No options, not all staff is educated. Booooorrrrrring!!!!!!

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.
