Olive Garden

I’m not naive to know that there’s probably not much GF safety in a dedicated traditional pasta restaurant…but, twice I have found pasta on my GF Zuppa soup. I’m not really sure why I chanced it a second time…the soup really is delicious. I’m just disappointed that they have an actual GF menu but don’t practice any safety it seems.

We go here regularly and have had no reactions. The servers are always very knowledgeable and caring.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The website indicated shares prep space etc with the regular pasta.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free menu and knowledgeable staff. The GF pasta is good but nothing stellar. I could make better stuff at home for 1/4 of the price.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Although I have never gotten sick off of the food, the pasta is often times undercooked or cold and hard which is pretty unpleasant.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.
