Olive Garden

For gf things on the menu you can only pretty much just get a “create your own pasta” with the only choice of pasta and marinara sauce. I think the sausage is gf too but that might be the only protein option that is gf.

They said they took gluten allergies very seriously which was relieving but after eating the food, that evening I did feel ill. Maybe they cooked the pasta in the same water as the gluten pasta :( All of the food came out at the same time which could be normal or maybe Im just paranoid because usually the gf dish takes longer 🤷‍♀ Food was good though, maybe just go here if you aren’t that sensitive just in case.

The waitress was great. She helped me look to see that the Zuppa Toscana soup soils be safe by pulling up an up to date allergen list. And the soup did seem ok.

But the gluten free pasta, even though it was GF, i found a couple of other noodles in my dish. I thought that maybe it was a manufacturer thing but then I found a third type of noodle that I never see GF. Thankfully, I don’t have celiac but i’m extremely gluten sensitive. I didn’t say anything to the server because it says all over their menu that it isn’t a gluten free restaurant, but I did come home and have been on the toilet since dinner. I will be writing or calling them tomorrow to express my concerns. I’m guessing they just used the same colander or worse, the same pasta water.

Very limited gluten free options and you have to sit and watch your group eat their bread sticks, not fun. Last time I went they messed up my order TWICE, by not making it with gluten free pasta. By the time I got my food, everyone else had already eaten. Luckily they comped my meal and I was really glad, because it was bland, the noodles sucked and it would have cost $17.

I will never go to the Olive Garden out of choice, I've only winded up there when everyone else in a group wanted to go. Pretty sure I just won't join along if that's the case in the future.

Their gluten free spaghetti was delicious!

GF pasta terrible!!

Thankful to have the option to eat here but the noodles were yuck. Only tried one time. Maybe they just cooked them wrong that time. Can still eat the great house salad though.

GF pasta here was pretty awful--strange texture and broke into bits. Felt like a heavy gut bomb in my stomach. I've always enjoyed going to Olive Garden occasionally, but it now looks like sadly, I won't be able to eat here any more. The menu choices for GF are very limited, and let's face it, if you can't have pasta here, why go?

Also want to mention, GF pasta costs extra and is never included in the "never-ending pasta bowl" promotions they run. Overall, extremely disappointing and I left hungry. Skip it if need GF and go to Old Spaghetti Factory a couple blocks away--they put this place to shame and are less expensive to boot!

The GF pasta is terrible. presentation is horrible and the pasta is always mushy and in pieces. Have gotten GF pasta elsewhere and it was much better.

got the mixed grill. amazing!

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.
