This is my first time at Olive Garden since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I was greatly disappointed by their gluten free options! The only real option they have that they go out of their way to make is the GF penne. Other than that they have 2 GF sauces and a couple of meats that they would have either way as they use them for all of their other dishes. They basically just put the gluten free penne on there so they could say they have something. The dish itself was good but nothing out of this world. I will give them points for having SOMETHING on the menu to order. Again it was good but I would probably go somewhere else unless I had to.
They have gluten free penne and will make practically any menu item with it. As soon as you let the server know you're gluten free, they offer salad with no croutons and explain what your options include.
My 8 year old enjoyed the GF penne with grilled chicken. Glad they have GF pasta. I believe the penne is their only pasta on the GF menu. Though there are a handful of other dishes.

SO good. Had the chicken parm (grilled chicken). It came with gluten free noodles and sauce
this location is great, the manager came out to our table to let us know they were taking the cross contamination seriously and that we were in good hands. ordered gluten free pasta, soup and salad options, nobody from our group got sick
Had a wonderful evening at this Olive Garden. Waitress was very attentive and explained everything they do to ensure no cross-contamination occurs. The manager came to confirm my order and delivered it herself. She said it is the restaurant’s policy. Very good experience. Will visit this location again.
On the table there is a tablet that will pull up a gluten free menu. It’s pretty limited but they do have gluten free pasta and one of their soups is gluten free.
I’m a newly diagnosed celiac, and I was really upset about not being able to eat at Olive Garden. A friend of mine who is also celiac suggested going anyway since they do have gluten free pasta and a gluten free soup! I went today, and the experience was so great. I notified my server who actually has a direct family member with celiac disease. He was very helpful. The manager even came out to see me and assure me they would help. The manager personally brought out my food separately from the rest of my party’s and explained that it was made with brand new ingredients and utensils. Overall, it was so great, and I want to make sure any gluten free people will know this restaurant was great!
