Olive Garden

For a place that is known for pasta... the GF rotini noodles were the worst ever! They resembled mush and not appetizing in the least. Some type of gluten free bread would have been nice as the other guests were enjoying theirs.

Celiac friendly?

No

The gluten free noodles I ordered were terrible! They were undercooked and were possibly the worst texture of gluten-free noodle I have ever had. I mentioned the uncooking to the manager and he told me that is the way they are supposed to be.

Ok.

If I am ever drug to Olive Garden again I will stick with the endless salad with no croutons.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf noodles were gross. My meal looked and tasted like they had my meal sitting in the warmer the whole time my boyfriends reg dish was being made.

I agree with previous reviewer- not many options, but if your family wants to go there- you can eat safe foods here. They change water and pans here. Would go to noodles though if craving good options

Very small gluten free menu. Very good food. Way overpriced.

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.
