Olive Garden

We went to a different Olive Garden, but my experience was the same as others posted. One GF pasta available. The waiter was very kind but didn't know which sauces were safe. I was extremely sick after eating there. Salads have croutons on them but they did bring me one with out. Not GF friendly.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten found in all gluten free food... horrible!

Miserable experience for me. Hardly any selections. My GF pasta obviously had some form of gluten. I had to rush home since I was sick after 4 bites. I tell our server we are GF and she sticks a basket of bread in front of me. Apparently, she didn't care when I said our table is GF due to celiacs. Never again!!!!!

They cook the gf pasta in the same water as regular pasta. When I ate there I need up with a regular gluten noodle in my gluten free dish. Yes I got sick. Do not waste your time or money here.

Celiac friendly?

No

three items to choose from and none of them are very exciting. never again

Just imagine a negative sign in front of that star. Ordered off of their "gluten free" menu and had a reaction to it, absolutely miserable! Can't even say "Well the food was phenomenal" because it wasn't all that great either. Will NOT be eating here again and wouldn't recommend it for someone with Celiac or gluten sensitivity.

Celiac friendly?

No

Worst pasta ever. Learn how to cook it properly! Half my pasta wasn't cooked at all, and the other half was mush. I will NEVER be back!

Celiac friendly?

No

My wife ordered the penne and it was severely undercooked. I had them re-fire the order, but shehad the same result. She ended up getting the salmon and it was fine. Everyone was very knowledgeable about the importance of GF and the even gave us her meal for free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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 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.
