There are only 2 entrees on the gluten free menu pasta and chicken Parmesan. I ordered the chicken Parmesan it wasn’t real chicken, it was horrible and it’s not breaded with gf bread crumbs. You get a small portion of pasta also. I eat gf chicken Parmesan at Aurelio’s all the time, it’s breaded and delicious! I would never eat here again.

There is a menu for Gluten Free items. Although limiting in options, there are good stuff to eat. I enjoyed my meals here once in a while.
I am celiac. I have eaten at this location quite often without any problem. Always get the salad and the pasta with meat sauce. They bring the salad dressing in the to-go packets to avoid cc which is nice. They seem to really understand when I question them about preparation etc. every visit I doublecheck that the pasta is cooked in its own water and has its own strainer. They never look at me funny when I ask.
Yes
The gluten free penne is very bland. I've had much better at other local places.
This is my first time at Olive Garden since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I was greatly disappointed by their gluten free options! The only real option they have that they go out of their way to make is the GF penne. Other than that they have 2 GF sauces and a couple of meats that they would have either way as they use them for all of their other dishes. They basically just put the gluten free penne on there so they could say they have something. The dish itself was good but nothing out of this world. I will give them points for having SOMETHING on the menu to order. Again it was good but I would probably go somewhere else unless I had to.

They had one of the managers handle my food so he was only touching my gluten free food. Their pasta is great and they were so sweet to my bf and I! The same manager made my food separately so it was safe! I think this is a new policy they have :)

I normally wouldn’t go to a pasta place but it was my son’s birthday and it was his choice. Olive Garden does have a separate gluten free menu which is nice. While minimal, I found the rotini pasta with meat sauce and grilled chicken to be very tasty. Their Zuppa Toscano soup was also great tasting.
I’m sure there’s better pasta restaurant options but if you’re at Olive Garden there are tasty choices.

Listen, I do NOT get the gf pasta. Their options for sauces are pretty boring for the price. But I LOVE to do the endless soup and salad with the zuppa Toscana soup and ask for no croutons on the salad. I do make sure to tell them that I cannot eat the salad if they just pick the croutons off. They are always very accommodating. If a food runner brings out a salad with croutons, I just ask our server for a new one and it's never been a problem! I also love the Italian margarita!
