I have ate at this Olive Garden on 3 seperate occasions over the past 2 years and each time I am glutened. There was actual fettuccine hiding in my gluten free pasta this time after I asked SPECIFICALLY if they boil the gluten pasta and gluten free in different waters and was assured that they do. I will never come back here again.
No
Waiting for my salad, dissapointed with the menu, 4 options does not deserve to say they have a GF menu, and the 3 stappled worn out pages don't help either. Bummer.
I appreciate that they have a dedicated gluten free menu but when I asked for it I was handed stained, stapled pieces of paper. Not much care was given. Choices were pretty skimpy but it was better than nothing. I ordered the salad without croutons and the gluten free pasta with marinara and chicken. Half way through eating the pasta I noticed a broken piece of fried breading from someone else's order (not one from my table either) obviously they have serious cross contamination issues. Since I have Hashimoto's and not Celiac I'm fortunate gluten just causes me inflammation and mental fog. No manager ever came to make sure my allergy order was good. I will not be back to this Olive Garden.
No
Daughter with celiac LOVES the gluten free Mac and cheese. We checked the ingredients, and she never has a reaction, so this is a regular slot for us. We also love how the manager always comes to double check the cheese ingredients with us.
Delicious food at reasonable prices. Gluten free options are marked on the menu. A lot of the entrees can be substituted with gf pasta, or you can build your own pasta dish.
Gluten free pasta comes at no extra cost and is really delicious.
Staff is very aware and informed. Our waitress pointed out that the salad we got as a side had been made freshly to avoid any cross-contamination. I felt very safe.

I am gluten intolerant. Before ordering, I asked for a gluten free menu. I had already looked online to see what was offered, just wanted to see if anything new had been added. No actual menu (only online), but our waitress, Kelly, said she needed to get the manager to come speak with me. Afraid of possibly cross-contamination with the pasta dishes, I opted to be safe & ordered the 6 oz sirloin steak with broccoli, & the salad was served without croutons. Salad dressing was served in sealed individual cups. The steak was cooked perfectly & was one of the best steaks from a restaurant that I've had in a long time. I truly appreciated Kelly checking on me numberous times during our meal even though it was a very busy Saturday afternoon. Will definitely be dining there again.

AMAZING experience! They had all allergens listed on the ziosk. When I said I have celiac, they told the kitchen and all servers who would be attending to my table and everything was prepared separately to avoid any cross contamination. They even had separate servers bring out my food to avoid it.

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.
