Olive Garden

The only has no I can find on the gluten free menu is noodle and tomato sauce. They don’t take any $ off for noodles and tomato sauce. That is just robbery and it tastes like the worst 5ing ever next time, If I’m forced to go here, I’m bringing my own food.

Celiac friendly?

No

This was one of my favorite places to eat GF. Their staff was always very friendly and understanding and the food is AMAZING!!!! BUT I will no longer eat there... The last time I found a gluten noodle in my dish, I asked the waitress if they served this type of noodle in a GF option, she said no and took it back to have them remake it. No harm done, I understand when eating out I am taking the chance of getting CC and that is on me. The manager came over and apologized and promised me a new plate. About 90 sec later she came back with the same plate I had sent back. The chicken was cut up as I had cut up the last one (they slice it in long slices and don't mix it in the sauce and noodles and that is how they serve it). I asked the manager about it when I saw that it was the same plate and she said that she watched them cut the chicken and assured me it was a new plate. She didn't seem to have any confidence in what she was saying so after deciding there was no way they cooked a brand new plate in around 90 seconds I chose not to eat if and haven't returned. This is probably a one in a million chance so I would def give it a try! Just be careful!

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.
