Olive Garden

I appreciate effort made here. I find Olive Garden to be one of the better chains at dealing with gluten free. After ordering the waitress notified the manager that we had an “allergy” at the table. He came over and reviewed everything with me. Salad was made in a clean bowl and to go dressing was served on the side because they worry about croutons falling in the dressing. The manager then followed up with us to make sure everything was satisfactory. I didn’t have pasta but the first time he came over he did assure me they take every possible precaution to prevent gluten contamination if I wanted to try the pasta. Rotini is the only GF pasta they serve and it is only used for GF so there is no confusion along with separate pits for boiling, etc.

I would give it 5 stars but it is just average Italian food at best. I appreciate all they do as it is not the first time I have been treated so well at this or any other Olive Garden.

Ordered the salmon, it was very good. Several gluten free entrees are available (pasta, chicken parm, sirloin, salmon) and also a soup and salad option. The manager came to the table to confirm my order. No problems, I would go back.

I was surprised to find they did seem to understand and have options that were gluten free. I talked with the manager who assured me and assisted the waitress in understanding what I could and couldn’t eat. They had a list on the tablet left on the table what food had or didn’t have specific allergens in it. The only reason I’m giving 3 stars for taste is that I’m not a fan of this type of chain, Italian style food. Unrelated to gluten I wouldn’t pick it but my friend celebrated her Birthday there so I was thrilled to have safe options and join the group.

Gluten Free Pasta was good. Sauce was tasty. I got it with the grilled chicken pieces, which tasted slimy, undercooked, and boingy. Really the only meal option for Celiacs. I would go back again for the ambiance, but the price wasn't great, and there are better options out there.

They understand a gluten allergy well but the GF pasta isn’t the best

Food was good, staff seemed knowledgeable. On the tablet, at the table, you can find the gluten sensitive menu, as well as seeing items marked on the menu.
