Regular pasta found mixed in with gf

The only thing good was the salad. Not a great Gluten free for Celiacs recommended. I had regular piece of pasta mixed in with side vegetables. Caution when eatting here. I know I will be skipping this Olive Garden.

The gluten free menu is very small. Not any big to choose from. You can have the salad with out croutons. I would make my own pasta before coming here again. Cheaper and better

They cook their gluten free pasta in the same water which defeats the whole purpose of gluten free. never stepping foot in here again.

I am guaranteed to get sick here. I have gotten sick EVERY time I've ever eaten here. They have a huge cross contamination problem.

I was shown a GF menu on the portable digital screen on the table. They offer Chicken Parmesan with tomato sauce and melted cheese on top with a side of GF pasta (corn). A 6 oz Sirloin, A Salmon Entree, GF Fusili on the lunch special and soup and salad. The only GF soup is Zuppa Toscana but I don’t eat sausage which is in it. I chose to just have a salad, so I was able to customize what I wanted in it with no croutons and dressing in the separate packets. The server did offer me a refill and more grated cheese on top. The mini chocolate mint’s they give out are GF too so she gave me a handful for my dessert.

My boyfriend and I have gone hear twice-once on a regular date night, the other time on Valentine’s Day. Our serve was always really nice and knowledgeable about the gluten free options with the menu. They were happy to help. There are not a ton of options, but they are labeled. I get the gluten free rotini and the Zuppa Tuscana soup. As long as you communicate, they are good about keeping things safe. U

Our waiter was great they showed us the GF menu and later the manger came over and explained that the cooks change their gloves, and clean the area. They also asked if it was a Allergy or a preference

Olive Garden has upped their game here! Waiter assured me the GF rotini would be cooked in its own bath AFTER they cleaned it out. Hours later and no reaction. Several options, but I had the Rotine and meat sauce. Delicious! Waiter was knowledgeable and the little kiosk on the table gives GF options
