Olive Garden

Worst service we have had in a long time. Soup spilled when it was brought to the table. Rude server. Dead bug on a clean plate.

How much of the menu is available gluten-free?

— Not Much

This restaurant has one of the most limited GF selections, and their pasta tastes terrible. I’d rather go to Biaggi’s, which has an amazing and tasty GF menu. If I could give 0 stars, I would!

Pretty sure my celiac son got glutened here from cross contamination. After further investigation. I believe they use the same pasta water for the gf pasta and regular pasta.

Celiac friendly?

No

I used to love olive garden before I was diagnosed with celiac. when I heard they had "gluten free" pasta I was eager to try it. I will never eat here again. the pasta wasn't very flavorful, they didn't have very many options, and I got VERY sick after I ate there. upon reading reviews online (in hindsight, I should have done that first) I discovered what I already knew from getting sick, they have significant cross contamination. if you have gluten relayed health issues DO NOT GO HERE.

Celiac friendly?

No

This chain is not gluten friendly at all. Went here on request from my friend and ordered one of the few gf options on the menu and had a gluten induced headache by the time we walked out the door. Awful.

Celiac friendly?

No

Had the gluten free pasta, noodles were hard and not very good.

I asked the server for the soup and salad....got the Fagioli soup and asked for them to hold the pasta. It was very good and I was happy to get to enjoy my favorite soup. 3 stars given because their gf selection is awful.

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.
