Olive Garden

I had the salad with no croutons, their gluten free pasta with meat sauce and it was supposed to be save and I had issues. As another reviewer said, I think the have cross contamination issues. Be careful.

Had some serious contamination issues here. First salad that was brought out had croutons, even though I had explained my allergy to the server and requested no croutons. He laughed. Had pasta and there was definitely contamination. I am guessing that it was cooked in the same water as their regular pasta. Haven't been this sick in some time. I will not return.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly but very few options. Most involve red sauce and greasy foods. I have a sensitive stomach in general so I felt that though items were gluten free they would make me sick with dairy, reflux, etc. I don’t eat there often.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They did a fabulous job! The food was amazing! The gluten free pasta was cooked perfect.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was really disappointed in the fact that I had ordered the salmon, roasted potatoes and broccoli. Thought that would be safe. It wasn't until the last minute that I found out that they coated their potatoes in flour. It is just rather disappointing.

They do not promise that anything is gluten free as it may be tainted. Be cautious.

Celiac friendly?

No

Had the mixed grill and salad (without croutons). The GF menu has enough options to choose from, but my mixed grill only came with a few small pieces of meat, a few pieces of broccoli and some very undercooked green beans. Not a whole lot for almost $18. Still, the server was very accommodating, and it's been two days with no adverse reaction. Overall, a good experience.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a dedicated menu for gluten free, but they will also substitute gf pasta in a dish you would prefer. This worked out well so I could share a dinner special with a non gf friend. My intolerance is not as severe as some, so I don't worry about sauces and had a great pasta dish. Our server was very nice, and after my pasta sub request she made sure to put the salad croutons on the side. Only down side is that the pasta wasn't cooked all the way on several pieces.

Celiac friendly?

No

Salad is to die for, service is great, but beware! If you want gf rolls, don't go in. It's too teasing.

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 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.
