This is my first time at Olive Garden since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I was greatly disappointed by their gluten free options! The only real option they have that they go out of their way to make is the GF penne. Other than that they have 2 GF sauces and a couple of meats that they would have either way as they use them for all of their other dishes. They basically just put the gluten free penne on there so they could say they have something. The dish itself was good but nothing out of this world. I will give them points for having SOMETHING on the menu to order. Again it was good but I would probably go somewhere else unless I had to.

They have gluten free penne and will make practically any menu item with it. As soon as you let the server know you're gluten free, they offer salad with no croutons and explain what your options include.
My 8 year old enjoyed the GF penne with grilled chicken. Glad they have GF pasta. I believe the penne is their only pasta on the GF menu. Though there are a handful of other dishes.
barely anything on the menu
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.
