Olive Garden

I met a group here and was not planning on eating. I was told the gf spaghetti is cooked in different pots in a different area. I didn’t get sick at all — I have celiacs and am very sensitive.

Have eaten there a few times and have not gotten sick. The zuppa toscana soup is now gluten free and the salad is as well, if you tell them to absolutely not put croutons on, even if they forget and try to pick them off, I will know. One time the manager came over to tell me how much extra care they were going to give my pasta dish. So...I’m good here...not many places I can say that about.

the previous review was written by someone with an agenda, he writes the same thing about many restaurants.

My son is gluten intolerant and I have found olive garden to be an excellent option for him with no reactions in many visits. My only wish is that their gluten free menu had a more extensive gluten free section for him.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

gluten free menu has nothing for kids unless you buy the steak or adult size gluten free pasta and spend 16 bucks on a meal for a 3 year old.

Absolutely awful, they only off gf noodles and meat sauce. No white sauce. Got glutened

Server said they will clean the grill to ensure safe preparation of chicken Parmesan. Salad for my whole table came without Croutons. I tested my food before eating and it was gluten free. No reactions!

There is one soup on the menu that is gf. The salad is safe & the dedicated gf menu you can find online does help find a few limited options that are available (gf pasta available), but seeing as how this is an Italian restaurant, limited options are to be expected.

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.
