Very good!!! Been here multiple times and it never disappoints. I always get gluten free noodles with marinara sauce with shrimp or chicken. Both are delicious. I would give 5 stars if they made their chicken gnocchi soup gf. I have made gluten free gnocchi soup copy cat before and it wasn't to hard. I would be even be willing to pay extra. however if this isn't possible, which I do understand if it isn't, i wish they offered better gf salad dressing since their house salad is usually bland. I love olive garden and will definitely come here again. I have never gotten sick and it's one of my favorite Italian restaurants.

Very limited options and lack of understanding from some of the staff. The pasta primavera is the only gluten free item that has any flavor.

I ordered the GF pasta and I thought it tasted fine. I was pleased that they are working on accommodating GF needs. I did feel bloated after but that could have been from eating too much... I didn't have any other symptoms. If eat there again. I'm only giving 3 stars because of the limited options.

You'd think for being such a big chain they'd try harder. Two pasta dishes that are practically the same. No options, not all staff is educated. Booooorrrrrring!!!!!!

Limited gluten Free menu, but the staff was very accommodating and the steak with broccoli I had was delicious. A manager brought the food out as a cross contamination precaution.

Just had GF rotini and meat sauce with meatballs. I asked about the pasta how it was cooked and I was told it was in a separate part of the kitchen with separate tools and pots. The meatballs have no bread crumbs. Everything tasted great and there’s a lot of food!

I eat here often and I never get sick. I love it so much. The waiter always knows what they’re talking about. Sometimes the manager even comes out to talk with me. They have amazing portions. 10/10

My son, who is ANA to wheat and other grains, had an accidental exposure at this restaurant, even after we informed (and reminded) the server multiple times about the severity of his allergy. We ordered from their gluten sensitive menu, which they assured us was safe and gluten/wheat free, but he was served a gluten free pasta with their regular pasta sauce that contains wheat. We ended up in the hospital.

Avoid at all costs! I found gluten pasta in my meal. There's only one gf pasta shape available, rotini. So when I found a shell in my dish, I immediately stop eating. The server offered to have them remake the dish but I had zero confidence in the safety of the kitchen after that.

I specified several times upon ordering it was an allergy/celiac, and they noted that. I know chains are a risk but I've eaten once at another olive garden and I was ok. I thought this one would be alright too. The manager came out personally to apologize and said he was going to talk to the kitchen to avoid something like this. I was really appreciative of that. However I will not be going back here.
