Has gluten free noodles I went there and ordered and told the waiter multiple times that this is an allergy and to make sure to tell the cooks that I NEED gluten free. Well he gave me grilled chicken instead of fried chicken so I thought I was in the clear… he gave me normal noodles.

I was not impressed with their gluten free options on the menu. I am not a big pasta fan to begin with but I was there with family who made this restaurant choice. Anyway, there are a few pasta dishes that can be made with a type of GF noodles. They have a soup that is gluten free and you can order their salad without croutons. The server was very nice and seemed knowledgeable in helping me with safe choices. I went with the soup and the salad options and the server made sure that the salad was safe and that my food was kept separate from the others in our group. The food was just ok and I didn’t get sick so that’s always a plus but it wasn’t a very filling meal. I just wished for a few more meal options.

Seperate GF menu and good understanding of cross-contamination! I had a very good experience.
Yes
We told out server we needed a gluten free menu for my son. She was very nice and extremely helpful. When everyone else got breadsticks she brought him grapes. We asked her to hold the croutons and she brought them in a separate bowl, along with the dressing on the side because she wasn't sure if it was okay. The food tasted wonderful no problems with feeling sick or getting sick afterwards.
I ate there and had gluten free noodles and sauce. Felt really sick too after eating there!
The gluten free menu had one option. I ended up being extremely sick for days. Nearly needed to use my epi pen. The meal tasted like chemicals. I should of ran for my life. Evidently they don't use fresh herbs to cook but rely heavily on man made chemicals etc. Total garbage. Yuk!!
No
Asked my server if they had a Gluten Free menu. He told me they did and would get me one. The manager came to my table to ask about my sensitivity and how severe the allergy was. She then showed me the gluten free menu on the table kiosk. In addition went over all the kitchen protocols to protect me such as new glove and utensils. Salad made from scratch directly from the cooler to prevent any cross contamination, if I wanted the steak or salmon that it would be cooked in a clean sauté pan vs the grill to prevent any cross contamination. GF pasta is cooked in different water from all other pasta. Red flagging the kitchen ahead of my order so that they could take the necessary precautions.

We were very impressed with our entire experience. As soon as we told the hostess my daughter has Celiacs, she told us they had gluten free options, prepped separately and she would notify the manager so they would stop at our table. The waiter was familiar with our needs, happy to answer our questions on the menu and the manager also came over, introduced himself and said he would talk to the kitchen staff himself to ensure her food was prepped safely. She had pasta with sauce and grilled chicken, as well as the salad. We wish we had asked for the sauce on the side, as it was heavy on the sauce, but other than that, we were very pleased. Thank you Olive Garden for a good, safe place to eat while traveling!

The gluten free rotini was very yummy! I honestly couldn’t tell a difference. One of the managers was also very helpful and made sure my dish was prepared separately from gluten-containing ingredients to avoid cross-contamination. Our server said that the GF pasta could be substituted for any of the dishes on the menu, but double check what you order because some of the dishes will still have gluten-containing ingredients.

My server had celiac so I felt safer dining here knowing that. I ordered a salad without croutons and grilled chicken. You can also get this with grilled shrimp. There is also steak, salmon and rotini pasta.

The menu has things labeled as no gluten items. This was not accurate. I told the kitchen I had a gluten allergy and they seemed to understand and tell me to change my order. I was feeling safe, but halfway through my pasta I found a regular pasta noodle. Too late to turn back the clock unfortunately. Cross contamination!
