Sad to say I enjoyed eating here because of the convenience of the gluten-free menu, however the last time I ate here I found regular noodles mixed in with my gluten-free noodles. This was despite me questioning before ordering whether the gluten free pasta was cooked in separate water. It clearly wasn't but they told me it was. What a shame would love this to be a safe and convenient option for celiacs but sadly this problem changed my mind and their response to it proved that they didn't really understand the issue fully.
No
We went Last night our waiter had gluten issues and was very conscientious on making sure my GF meal was safe had gf rotini with meat sauce and Salad with no croutons everything was superb no issues noted will go back
I ordered off the gluten free menu. When my food came it was clearly regular noodles & bread crumbs on my chicken. The server took it back but then came back to question me as if they didn't offer that dish as gluten free. A few minutes later the manager came over to apologize and said they had just updated the GF menu and it was a new dish (that nobody seemed to be trained on). They brought me out the GF noodles right away but I had to wait a really long time for the chicken while my family was already finished with their dinners. Pretty soon after I had a reaction. Not full on - but definitely some sort of cross contamination. This particular location does not seem to take good allergies seriously. I would not recommend.
My mom and I both have Celiac Disease. We ordered a GF salad and it looked alright until we got to the bottom of the serving bowl where there was a crouton. Mistakes happen. They brought us a new salad and everything was fine. Then we requested a refill and again there was a crouton at the bottom. Unfortunately, this time my mom ate some before she found it. The waitress and manager were very apologetic and promised to make sure the people in back are more aware of how serious Celiac Disease is and comped our meal. I just hope my mom doesn't get sick. 5 stars for service but 0 for safety, which weighs more in my opinion.
No
Haven't been in over 2 years due to bad experience. Well, I noticed the gf menu had changed, so I said: why not. Glad we went! Got a pasta dish and salad, no reaction! YAY!
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.
