Olive Garden

There was maybe one or two options for celiac, and that was just plain noodles with marinara sauce. Salad can be made without croutons but I still wouldn’t trust it to have no cross contamination. Staff wasn’t very knowledgeable

They have gluten free noodles for pasta, you can order the original salad with croutons on the side. It’s a wonderful environment and the food is great.

You can’t even get a salad here. I would not eat here again unless I wanted to torture myself by watching others eat and to feel nauseous from the smell of gluten lingering in the restaurant. I wish I could give them -1 star. I feel they owe me a star just because they are so not gluten free friendly!

Celiac friendly?

No

Not many options for people wth food allergies! If you want more yummy items I'd eat elsewhere so you don't have to be tempted with their amazing breadsticks that aren't gluten free and they don't make any breadsticks their gluten free. 😭

Celiac friendly?

No

I wish I could give this place 0 stars! Apparently if a manager doesn't come to acknowledge that you have a good allergy, they didn't take you seriously. If they didn't take you seriously they use the same water and strainer = gluten pasta getting mixed in. Don't even get me started on the lack of flavor!

Celiac friendly?

No

My sister decided to surprise me with lunch from this location one day. She order the gluten free pasta with marinara sauce. She repeatedly told them that I had celiacs and could not have any gluten. When I looked at the noodles they didn't look right to me- but they promised it was gluten free so I ate them. I ate about half and then decided to save the rest for later. That night I got very sick and could hardly get out of bed the next day. Today when I looked at the left overs there was a spaghetti noodle mixed in. I am very disappointed and won't be returning to this location.

Celiac friendly?

No

Limited choices and they don't seem that knowledgable about GF information at this location. I didn't feel confident my food was right. I also find it a hard place to enjoy when you wish you could have all the other options.

Olive Garden's gf menu is practically a joke. You can get pasta (not tasty pasta mind you, but at least it's something) with some meat and seasonings. You can get pasta with some meat and some slightly different seasonings. You can get pasta with some meat and some sauce. Or you can get the grill - chicken, beef, or chicken and beef. While the grill is very tasty and filling, the pastas are pretty lacking, bland, and not filling. However, the grill grows old real fast. THIS location used to be really bad about cross contamination and bad waiter/waitress knowledge, but the manager/owner fixed that really quickly. Now, we love this location and it is the preferred location of the two close to us. However, the food is just so blah.

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.
