Waitress and chief were great about explaining GF options. The problem was that there was barely anything I could eat. Ended up with GF rigatoni, plain marinara and 2 Italian sausage. I could have made that at home. No appetizers were GF or any of the meat dishes. Even the shrimp scampi uses the water from the regular pasta to make the broth. Never again.

I am gluten free and did seafood with gluten free pasta it made me sick!

Yikes. Do not go here. They have GF steak with fettucine on the menu, and that is a lie...they brought a plate of steak, mashed potatoes, and 100% glutenous fettucine alfredo. We were so nice about asking "hey, really, are you sure this is GF...? Cuz it looks too good to be true, and wife who can eat gluten says it tastes and feels like regular wheat fettucine...." .... waitress said it must be, since it is on GF menu.... we had her double check anyway...and of course, we were told OOPS, yeah, that is indeed regular fettucine. We tried so hard to let them gracefully make it better, but they offered to just bring an additional side of broccoli, leaving hubby the cross-contaminated steak and potatoes.... we said nah, we will just take food to go and pay for it and wife will eat it and we'll leave and call it a day if that is okay.... waitress tried to take steak and fettucine off bill and manager wouldnt let her! We were like "uh, really...? After we were so nice about this near poisoning....?" And she said manager said we had to pay for all food we were taking home...so we were like ok, then we dont have to take steak and fettucine home cuz we sure can't pay for food you mistakenly brought that wouldve made him really really ill if he had eaten it..." and waitress took that to manager, and it came off bill and we left steak&fettucine behind. We still tipped waitress on both meals bc she was nice despite being foiled repeatedlt by menu and manager. When she saw that, she came back and warmly thanked us AND OFFERED TO SEND US HOME WITH A BAG OF BREADSTICKS.... so....moral of the story: if you are on this app bc you need to eat GF, you CANNOT trust this place.

They gave me a separate salad. I had GF pasta with Parmesan pesto sauce and grilled chicken. It was surprisingly good!

2 very good experiences with waiting staff responsive to multiple food allergies. My meal was tasty and excellent, alternatives were suggested by the waiters who checked with the chef on some items to ensure I was not getting into anything that might cause symptoms. Croutons were not put on my salad which happens often in other places despite announcing my sensitivities. Fortunately, I do not have Celiac.

I would give no stars but the app won't let me. Just like Dominos, Olive Garden offer GF just to say they offer it. The pasta is terrible and the "Steamed" veggies are dipped in the pasta water. Not a good place to go if you are intolerant or Celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

I've always enjoyed Olive Garden in the past (recently diagnosed with celiac) but their gluten free menu, as of when we tried to go there a couple of nights ago, is a gluten-sensitive menu only and does not guarantee against cross-contamination. Not suitable for celiacs yet. Very sad for me.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.
