It’s good in a pinch but not the best. Menu is very limited but never had a reaction to anything.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Made me and my boyfriend sick, and he's not even celiac! Waiter was friendly and assure me that my meal was safe, and I felt fine until I got home. Never again.

Limited items to choose from...

Pasta marinara, grilled chicken parm, a fish and a steak. There is one soup you can choose (something with sausage if I remember correctly) or salad without the croutons. That's pretty much it. Like most places, no apps are GF. Not worth the money or time.

I make my own Francese, Vodka, Alfredo sauces and a bolognese and experiment with sausages, meatballs, and veggies. They're an Italian restaurant, they can do better than that. I'm an amateur and can make it work.

Pinterest it for ideas!

Ordered the Chicken Parm. Came breaded. When I asked if the bread crumbs were gluten free the waiter assured me they were. Wrong!!! No care was taken in preparing my meal. Unfortunately my waiter had 0 knowledge of what GF is and didn't take a minute to find out disputed me mentioning the seriousness 3 times. Unless you want to be sick do not go to this restaurant. I wish I could give this a less then 0 review

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Okay food(nothing amazing but yet again it's a chain restaurant) but awesome service. Waitress was understood celiac and food allergies. At that time they only have 2 pasta options so I went with the gluten free pasta with meat sauce. But they recently added more options. Will be going back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Horrible pasta.. Not worth the money!

GF pasta was disgusting. Wouldn't come back here.

Better yet, go across the street to Tuscan House or over to Route 9 for Villa Roma.

Their GF pasta is horrible!!!! Stay home and make Tinkyada----much better and cheaper!!

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.
