While I was impressed that this restaurant had a whole gluten free menu the one item they are lacking is a bread option. Their bread sticks are what Olive Garden is known for they should look into making a gluten free option
I’ve eaten there three times. I ordered the gluten free pasta each time and given specific instructions about my allergy to gluten. The wait staff is clueless about the seriousness of celiac disease. All three times I’ve gotten sick my contamination and lack of care on the part of Olive Garden wait staff and the kitchen staff. The manager gave us gift cards to return and was very apologetic but I’m not interested in returning.

I've been twice and the staff's lack of understanding of what gluten free means, makes me super uncomfortable eating here. When I asked for my gluten free chicken Parmesan the waitress asked if I wanted the chicken grilled or breaded. When I explained that I couldn't have flour so by proxy couldn't have bread, she asked if I needed the gluten free rotini with my gluten free chicken Parmesan.....Then she kept trying to give me croutons for my salad. I felt like I was playing Russian roulette with my stomach and considering that it takes four days for me to feel better once I've been introduced to gluten, I'm just not willing to put my health in the wait staff's hands. And least of all, the gluten free rotini isn't that great. I can get better tasting gf pasta from the grocery store at a better price at that.
I got the gluten free rotini pasta they serve and I found little pieces of angel hair pasta in it! Now I am sick! Not likely I will return there.
No
There is a special gluten free menu with about 2-3 entrees. the options are great. I have been there twice and had the pasta primavera both times. It has zuchinni and rich tomato sauce over gf pasta. I get my own salad without crutons. Every one I am with enjoys their meals there and now I can as well. I detracted a star because the menu is kind of small.
I got so sick! Will not be back.
No
Delicious food at reasonable prices. Gluten free options are marked on the menu. A lot of the entrees can be substituted with gf pasta, or you can build your own pasta dish.
Gluten free pasta comes at no extra cost and is really delicious.
Staff is very aware and informed. Our waitress pointed out that the salad we got as a side had been made freshly to avoid any cross-contamination. I felt very safe.

I am gluten intolerant. Before ordering, I asked for a gluten free menu. I had already looked online to see what was offered, just wanted to see if anything new had been added. No actual menu (only online), but our waitress, Kelly, said she needed to get the manager to come speak with me. Afraid of possibly cross-contamination with the pasta dishes, I opted to be safe & ordered the 6 oz sirloin steak with broccoli, & the salad was served without croutons. Salad dressing was served in sealed individual cups. The steak was cooked perfectly & was one of the best steaks from a restaurant that I've had in a long time. I truly appreciated Kelly checking on me numberous times during our meal even though it was a very busy Saturday afternoon. Will definitely be dining there again.

AMAZING experience! They had all allergens listed on the ziosk. When I said I have celiac, they told the kitchen and all servers who would be attending to my table and everything was prepared separately to avoid any cross contamination. They even had separate servers bring out my food to avoid it.

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.
