Only have very limited gf menu. Not impressed. If you want a better Italian Gluten Free restaurant in Idaho Falls, go to Carinos. They have nice gluten free menu and dessert choices. Puts Olive Garden to shame.

Extremely limited gluten free menu and if you are avoiding dairy as well there is not much other than salad. We apologized and got up and left letting them know there was nothing we could eat on their very limited menu

I should have read the reviews before going here. There were about 5 choices of items to eat on the GF menu. I got really sick afterwards. I'm thinking I might have been cross-contaminated. I told the waiter that I have a gluten allergy and he just brushed it off and said that he would say that on the order. I wasn't impressed with the taste of the food either; the noodles were overcooked. I probably won't go here again.

The GF menu includes only penne pasta which is fine as I just wanted to carb-load before a race the next day. My meal was so over cooked I couldn't chew the chicken, sauce was dried out and noodles were mush. My husband said his non-GF meal was pretty bad too. The next day I hit the blue rooms twice during my race and my husband couldn't leave the hotel room to meet me at the finish line. The couple we traveled with had a similar experience.

Took my wife and son there for dinner last night. They said the GF pasta was great. Our server was knowledgeable and great to work with. I highly recommend 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.

I just went to Olive Garden, stated my allergy, and then ordered Gluten Free pasta option they have, if I dont remember wrong it was Gluten Free Rotini with meat sauce. I didn’t get any reaction, (I usually get respiratory and skin reaction to gluten) and it was absolutely delicious!!!

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.
