Such a wonderful experience here! Had never been to Olive Garden before, and when I asked the waiter what I could eat, he was so incredibly helpful. I had salad, and pasta with meat sauce, and it was delicious. No reaction, and the service was incredible.
We went to a different Olive Garden, but my experience was the same as others posted. One GF pasta available. The waiter was very kind but didn't know which sauces were safe. I was extremely sick after eating there. Salads have croutons on them but they did bring me one with out. Not GF friendly.
Gluten found in all gluten free food... horrible!

Miserable experience for me. Hardly any selections. My GF pasta obviously had some form of gluten. I had to rush home since I was sick after 4 bites. I tell our server we are GF and she sticks a basket of bread in front of me. Apparently, she didn't care when I said our table is GF due to celiacs. Never again!!!!!
They cook the gf pasta in the same water as regular pasta. When I ate there I need up with a regular gluten noodle in my gluten free dish. Yes I got sick. Do not waste your time or money here.
three items to choose from and none of them are very exciting. never again
Just imagine a negative sign in front of that star. Ordered off of their "gluten free" menu and had a reaction to it, absolutely miserable! Can't even say "Well the food was phenomenal" because it wasn't all that great either. Will NOT be eating here again and wouldn't recommend it for someone with Celiac or gluten sensitivity.
Worst pasta ever. Learn how to cook it properly! Half my pasta wasn't cooked at all, and the other half was mush. I will NEVER be back!
My wife ordered the penne and it was severely undercooked. I had them re-fire the order, but shehad the same result. She ended up getting the salmon and it was fine. Everyone was very knowledgeable about the importance of GF and the even gave us her meal for free.

I am celiac. I told waiter I was allergic to gluten and sensitive to cross-contact. I had salmon and broccoli. The manager brought out my dish. The server brought the remaining dishes for my companions who had no food allergies.
I didn’t have the greatest experience at Olive Garden. A manager came out and told me he would make sure my food was safely made and far away from any gluten. When my meal came out, gluten free noodles were mixed in with my meal. The manager apologized and gave us our meal for free but I was unimpressed with the fact that he promised there would be no cross contamination and there indeed was.
On top of that there are very limited gluten free options and none of them tasted very good or fresh.
After I told the hostess that I had celiac disease they gave our group a server that was experienced with celiac disease. She assured me that the kitchen staff was aware and told me that they wanted my experience there to be good and that I am satisfied with everything. I was very impressed and the food was great!! I highly recommend Olive Garden
They boil gluten free pasta with gluten containing pasta.
I called them to ask if they cook the GF noodles in the same water, lady on the phone said “we don’t not cook them in the same water to avoid cross contamination” we ordered it even said on the packaged food to use clean gloves and utensils then my mother found a Linguine noodle in her gluten free pasta
