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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Yes
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.
