Noodle options may be gluten free but the sauce may not be. Definitely be wary!

Limited menu. I ordered a steak with veggie and a side of gf pasta and Alfredo. My plate came with breaded zucchini. I said I cannot have breading that’s why I ordered from the tiny gf menu and now that I look at it I don’t trust the cook who thought breading was okay so I’m not sure these noodles are gf either, I wasn’t given any other option they just took away the sides and I are a steak and salad. The sides weren’t even removed from my bill. They said aides are free with the entree. Not even a discount. Also asked if I wanted breadsticks right after asking for a gf menu. Stay away.
No
They cook the gluten-free pasta in the same eater as the wheat pasta!!!!!
No
Delicious pasta and salad:)
Before I went GF, Olive Garden was a chain I frequented. I'd never once had a bad experience - Great service always accompanied the mediocre Italian food they serve. Regardless, I was pretty excited when I heard about the GF menu they put out, & decided to check it out for lunch. Sadly, I was not impressed at all. To start, the GF menu Olive Garden offers is limited. VERY limited. I decided on the GF penne rigate pomodoro with grilled shrimp & a garden fresh salad (sans croutons, of course). The salad was, as I expected, very fresh & delicious. The pasta was a different story. I chose the pomodoro over marinara (the ONLY other GF sauce option) just for the heck of trying something different. I wasn't a fan, especially paired with the GF penne rigate that's offered. Overcooked and flavorless, not to mention topped with that awful sauce and several equally as overcooked and flavorless shrimp, the pasta stands out in my mind as some of the worst I've ever had.
GF Menu Options: 1.5 Stars (limited options)
Execution of GF Menu Item: 2 Stars (salad was good, but entree was much less than satisfactory)
Service: 5 Stars
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.
