Olive Garden

Several times ordered gluten free rotini and other noodles were mixed in. We brought it to the managers attention and he said need to always indicate for celiac disease because if you don’t they might cook the noodles with the wheat noodles. Well we did that and it happened again. Goodbye Olive Garden at this location. Tired of getting sick.

Waitress was clueless. Should have asked for the manager, but ordered something safe (salmon), so didn't think it was necessary. I got VERY sick - seemed different than the usual gluten exposure though... Maybe food poisoning?

There was a non-gf noodle in my pasta. I asked the manager and he offered to remake it, but I hadn't found it until halfway through. They do have various allergy menus, and they did remember the croutons on the salad. No gf desserts, and no dairy free/gf menus at all.

The second I mentioned my gluten sensitivity the waitress was all over making my meal as satisfactory as possible. She went out of her way to explain the gluten-free menu and made the highlight of my evening with great food. I would definitely recommend going!

The waitress had no idea what GLUTEN even was. Ordered my salad with no croutons and found some. When I asked for the manager he acted like it was no big deal. He told my 10 yr old who has celiac that it's ok sweetie you will be OK. That was not OK with me. She was so miserable the rest of the night. We will not be back.

Celiac friendly?

No

they wouldn't know gluten free if it slapped them in the face. first time I went there I got glutened. figured it was a fluke or one off happening, so gave them another chance. big mistake. got glutened even worse. never going here again

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.
