Olive Garden

Update: OG eliminated most of the items that used to be marked gluten free. Staff told me they could still make a safe gluten free me even though it’s not listed anymore as gluten free. What a disappointment that OG went from being accommodating to the opposite. No reason was given for the change.

Staff was knowledgeable, gluten free menu was on the video screen thingy & clearly marked. Food was good, better on the second visit, nothing to write home about, but I have Celiac and did not get sick, so if I'm in the area, I will eat here again.

Celiac friendly?

No

overcooked salmon, poor gf awareness. pushy staff

Celiac friendly?

No

First experience since diagnosis, gluten free menu was printed on a piece of paper with font that was worn down and barely visible. Options were very limited. First time I went I just ordered the house salad without croutons(supposedly gluten free) and ended up very sick very quickly.

Ended up stuck there a second time with some friends so I looked at their new gluten free menu online, I ordered a chicken Caesar salad that was listed as gluten free(without croutons of course) but it came out with no seasonings, toppings, or anything. Just a couple small pieces of chicken and some dry lettuce. Cost me $12-$15 dollars for that.

Very disappointed with both of my experiences here, will avoid ever going here again.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have a total of 5 options that's it and the gf pasta isn't very good

I wasn't impressed with the gf options and it was torture to watch everyone eat the delicious food I couldn't have.

GF noodles they use in pasta dishes we not that great

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.
