Several good GF options on mains. Plus salad minus croutons. Also cider. No gf desserts.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Found a piece of gluten pasta among my gluten free pasta. NOT SAFE! Would never go here again. When talking to someone there about what had happened there seemed to be little concern and lack of understanding regarding the severity of being celiac and eating gluten.

Celiac friendly?

No

They do have a very small gluten free menu but not worth and definitely was contaminated. If you have a sensitivity you may be okay but not celiac friendly.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not many gluten free options and the food was not good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Barely any gluten free options

Just no. How is Olive Garden a staple name in North America? Did not enjoy it at all.

Food quality poor

I had the GF Penne and it was more than El Dente. It was barely cooked but then kept under a heat lamp to really dry it out. Server had no idea what GF and Celiac is. He kept trying to offer me bread and brought my salad with croutons in it. If I could put no stars I would.

Not a fan :( Had the penne and tomato sauce, it was tasteless. The GF salad was the salad of the soup, salad and breadsticks deal for $9 but had no croutons and oil and balsamic dressing; it cost me $7!

My daughter is 9 has celiac and it is a very good restaurant for her to eat at !

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.
