Olive Garden

Unfortunately the waitress confused my gluten free order with a regular order even tho I was ordering from a gluten free menu. Thankfully, I figured it out before I ate too much of it, and they fixed my order. The waitress was extremely apologetic and sought to do all she could to make it right since it was her mistake. She even said she was taking a GF menu home to study better that night.

Terrible service absolutely terrible I don’t even know if it’s gluten-free cross contaminated unknowledgeable unfriendly staff tried many times to go here Olive Garden should know by now how to make a good gluten-free pasta and bread sad very sad. So many better options try Mancino‘s in grand Haven phenomenal and they know about gluten-free very knowledgeable wish I would’ve known about it years ago...

Celiac friendly?

No

The menu is on a difficult-to-use electronic kiosk on the table. There are no gluten free desserts, except for chocolate or strawberry sauce. They sub rotini for any regular pasta. The waitress "didn't know much about the allergen menu" when I asked a question and directed me back to the kiosk.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gf menu is extremely limited. I decided to go because I called ahead and was told there were plenty of gf options but there was no bread or pasta and I could only have one out of the few things offered. Also my wine glass was very dirty. Not great for a fairly pricey lunch!

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free menu is even smaller than in the past. Very few options and they aren't even that good.

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.
