Olive Garden

They don’t have a lot of options except some pasta options.

Gluten pasta was in my gluten free pasta Never going again

Celiac friendly?

No

My daughter has been eating gf noodles with butter for months to find out today that they said their butter has gluten in it! They also need a better gf noodle. Very bland and dry. Barilla taste better and much cheaper!

Very sad terrible pasta for gluten free and this is an Italian restaurant wanna be

Worst GF pasta ever. Go down the road to Salutos

Celiac friendly?

No

I ordered the GF pasta with red sauce...it literally had no taste or flavor. It was gross! I had to ask the lady to put cheese on top and it still didn't help the blah taste. I won't return to pay so much $ for bland pasta.

I wasn't impressed. I had GF pasta with marinara sauce - one of the few things I could eat there. The pasta was overcooked and had broken apart into a million little pieces. For me, that mediocre meal was absolutely not worth sitting in front of a basket of delicious bread sticks that I couldn't eat. I can make MUCH better pasta at home. But if you get stuck having to go there for whatever reason (which was our case), it's nice to know there's something safe available for you to eat. If Olive Garden came up with a good GF version of their bread sticks, they'd have GF folks flocking to their restaurants...and I'd be first in line.

It's gf but terrible. Paying too much for a bowl of overcooked mush w sauce. Stay home and make your own pasta.

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.
