I’ve been to this location a few times and never had an issue. The downside is the only pasta sauce option that I feel safe with is the marinara and the gf pasta is nothing to write home about. The salad is delicious. They’ve brought out my own dish of oil when I take gf bread too!

Found multiple pieces of regular pasta mixed in with our gluten free rotini. Manager was fantastic to take care of the situation, but the damage had been done. Promised to take it up with staff so that it doesn't happen again.

Had a wonderful evening at this Olive Garden. Waitress was very attentive and explained everything they do to ensure no cross-contamination occurs. The manager came to confirm my order and delivered it herself. She said it is the restaurant’s policy. Very good experience. Will visit this location again.

On the table there is a tablet that will pull up a gluten free menu. It’s pretty limited but they do have gluten free pasta and one of their soups is gluten free.

I’m a newly diagnosed celiac, and I was really upset about not being able to eat at Olive Garden. A friend of mine who is also celiac suggested going anyway since they do have gluten free pasta and a gluten free soup! I went today, and the experience was so great. I notified my server who actually has a direct family member with celiac disease. He was very helpful. The manager even came out to see me and assure me they would help. The manager personally brought out my food separately from the rest of my party’s and explained that it was made with brand new ingredients and utensils. Overall, it was so great, and I want to make sure any gluten free people will know this restaurant was great!
