Much better than the last time I tried it. They still need to do some work to have quality gf food, but I was able to have the Zuppa Toscana, gf pasta with pesto and chicken. My family loves OG so it was nice to be able to have dinner there with them. Plus they still have wine!

I was excited to see gf options until ordering them. The manager had to stop by our table and explain things after the server didn't have all the gf answers. The spicy sauce I wanted was not gf so had to go with a bland one. the sausage was not gf so went vegetarian. I could have gotten so much more for the money had I gone elsewhere. Overall disappointing.

Very expensive for what you get. $20 for a salmon filet with no spices, a handful of over cooked broccoli, and an iceberg lettuce salad.

Don't waste your money. I've only tried the Gluten Free pasta options and found the pasta to be gummy and the sauce boring and bland. For as much as Olive Garden costs, I'd go somewhere that actually has options and tastes good!

I have celiac and have never had symptoms from eating there. The selections are limited for gluten free., but are getting better. I met girl friends there for lunch once. They didn't have some of the items I asked for, so I ordered substitutions. The other girls had $5-$6 lunches while I was charged $26!.

Decent GF menu for a pasta place. My daughter had the GF rotini and meat sauce and enjoyed it. The server warned us about cross contamination with the croutons and salad dressing. My GF kid doesn't eat salad so it wasn't a concern

Despite this being a carb-heavy restaurant, Olive Garden does offer gluten-free pasta. However, I went to this location shortly after finding out I can't have gluten and ordered the GF pasta. I was very sick the following day because they had either cooked my pasta in the same water, or gave me normal pasta. Don't go here if you have celiac!

I had grilled chicken parmesan with Gluten free rotini pasta from their gluten friendly menu, Nov. '23. It was really delicious and tasted like "real" chicken parm. Their unlimited salad (without the croutons) is really good too. The pasta was surprisingly cooked perfectly, al dente, very tasty.
