Olive Garden

Daughter has celiac and we heard Olive Garden has a gluten free menu come to find out the salad that’s on the menu all the do is pick out the gluten.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

My experience with Olive Garden was awful. I called an ordered myself Gluten Free pasta, and went home and after eating my pasta I felt very sick. I do not recommend eating here.

When the office gets Olive Garden catered they always order a gluten free something for me and it’s always so good! I usually get the rotini with meat sauce I have gotten it with chicken parmigiana as well. Love the salad too! So far I have not gotten sick!

Horrible experience. Based on their menu, their gf procedures, and the person I spoke to over the phone, I thought I could trust them. But they mixed up my (gf) order and my mom's (gluten) order. They put her sausages on my gf pasta, so we thought the pasta without sausages was mine. Turns out someone in the kitchen mixed up the order. We didn't realize this until I ate a few bites and realized something was off. I was so angry and upset. I won't try them again for a while,and if I EVER go back, I'll demand that a manager or head cook watch my meal every step of the way and bring it out to me themselves.

There was maybe one or two options for celiac, and that was just plain noodles with marinara sauce. Salad can be made without croutons but I still wouldn’t trust it to have no cross contamination. Staff wasn’t very knowledgeable
