We always have a good experience here. Pasta and zoupa soup are GF and salad without croutons.

I was assured my management prior to my experience that I would be safe, and the food was cooked in a dedicated area. I was 5-6 bites in until I realized it was REGULAR pasta and FRIED chicken. The waitress offered to call an ambulance after realizing I told her I had an allergy... I was atleast given a refund for my meal.
No
I've eaten here multiple times and, most recently, found a 2 inch piece of regular spaghetti in my GF rotini pasta. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it until I was eating the leftovers the next day. I noticed that the reviews for the Olive Garden in Frederick mention the same problem. Clearly, Olive Garden kitchens don't take cross contamination seriously. Another time, I ordered the mixed grill and potatoes came on the side. The next time, I was told that I couldn't get the potatoes with it because they weren't GF....so glad I ate them the first time...I never thought their entrees were particularly good anyhow.
No
Limited GF menu if, like me, you have shellfish allergies. But good prices for the portion sizes.
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.
