I’ve eaten at many Olive Garden locations with no problem and always had the chef confirm everything was gluten free but the last time I ordered gluten free at the specific location I found a shell pasta mixed in with my gluten free pasta. Just a warning to those who are also incredibly sensitive.

Although the GF options are limited at the OG the food they offer does taste good. The GF pasta is good. My wife substituted pasta with Broccoli, there was no additional charge for that. The Zupa and salad were as delicious as always.

I work at Olive Garden and I just have to say they take all the precautions for their gluten free options. The cooks use clean tools and they have a special menu dedicated to gluten free (and none of the options are cooked in the fryer which is not a gluten free fryer). Sure there isn’t a lot of gluten free options there but they do have a soup that’s gluten free and can make salad’s without croutons.

The food was good, I got the gluten free pasta with meat sauce and had the salad with no croutons. I did not have any reaction to the food, so I will definitely be back!

They were able to pull up an allergen menu for me where I could cross reference what had gluten and what didn’t. The regular menus have a (G) next to dishes as well. Although the soup wasn’t marked on the menu but it was in the allergen guide. The choices are very limited (maybe like 4 total options in the whole menu). And there are no dessert options. The regular menu also has a little * saying the likelihood of cross contamination is high.

Small selection and the GF menu is awkward- you have to look at it on the little 'pay at your table' screen. The grilled chicken parmesan was good, though, and the waitress was helpful and knowledgeable. Pleasantly surprised.

I do not recommend. I eat here one time, and even though they have gluten free options I had to run to the restroom which in minutes of finishing my meal.

There really isn’t much options here. They have 1 pasta dish or you can have the salad, minus the croutons of course. They didn’t appear to have much knowledge on what celiacs is.

Olive Garden has a gluten free menu on their kiosk. You can get salad without croutons, Zuppa Tuscana soup, gluten free pasta with marinara or meat sauce.

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE CELIAC!!! I spoke to the waiter to tell them about my gluten allergy and celiac disease. They put through my order of GF pasta with meat sauce. All fine. Pasta arrived and I started eating it until suddenly I found many GLUTEN spaghettis inside too!!! They do not care about allergies or cross contamination at all. Even my partners dish had pieces of spaghetti in when he didn’t order spaghetti. Absolutely unbelievable how awful this place is! Please please please avoid at all costs if you’re celiac!

We are new to the gluten intolerant world, and our daughter lives on pasta. Great experience with Olive Garden in New Braunfels. Waitress was very thoughtful, notified the kitchen and my daughter had a great meal. They did not take the croutons out of the salad,but, we did not ask so that has to be our responsibility too.

I ordered GF pasta and stated that I have a gluten allergy to the waitress. My bowl of GF pasta showed up with “normal” noodles mixed in too. I unfortunately didn’t find the noodles until it was too late and had already started eating. I would not eat here again, I am not sure I trust the staff to be educated in proper food prep.

We ordered Gluten free pasta for my son and ordinary Pasta for me . My son ALWAYS tells the waiter he is celiac and tell them what he wishes. The food is good and filling . Gluten free is easily ordered if you tell them for the pasta and Salad as well with NO croutons . Dedicated cookery is used.

Food was delicious as usual! No issues with cross contamination and no sickness. Only downside was the menu is quite limited for gluten free. Im a huge alfredo lover and was sad to see that it was not gluten free. I know some brands are some arent. But overall i was pleased eith the knowledge of the staff and carefulness as well. Grateful for any type of gluten free hopeful to see a larger menu in the future.

Looked online at allergens list first. Immediately asked to speak to manager when seated. Not many choices here but that’s normal w/my allergy combo-wheat, gluten, soy, coconut, tree nut, broccoli, and sensitive to soybean and coconut oils. I had gf rotini w/tomato sauce. No reaction. Spoke with mgr about a soup that looked allergy friendly online but because I am sensitive to soybean oil and their soups have a chicken broth base she couldn’t provide me with ingredients for, I opted no soup. She did say they don’t use anything with coconut oil. I was just happy to have a meal that didn’t cause a reaction.

I’ve had a bad experience with OG before, but I just ate there and I’m not having any side effects, so I would give it a try if you are looking for something generic.

I ordered off the gluten free menu and asked the waitress to let the chef know I have celiac, but my salad showed up with a crouton in it. I sent it back but still got sick. Their menu says they can’t guarantee against cross contamination.

Much better than the last time I tried it. They still need to do some work to have quality gf food, but I was able to have the Zuppa Toscana, gf pasta with pesto and chicken. My family loves OG so it was nice to be able to have dinner there with them. Plus they still have wine!

I ordered the grilled chicken parm with rotini and salad with oil and vinegar. I had no issues. The waitress was new and asked questions to be sure I would be ok. She hand carried out my dish separate. I normally would not have went here but it was an event I was invited to. Pleasantly surprised

I ordered gf chicken parmesan. With a salad. Fortunately the salad was edible. Because my meal was supposed to have rotini noodles. Instead it had spaghetti noodle. After speaking with the Mgr. She assured me they do not have any gf spaghetti noodles. But she did say she had some new kitchen help. So sad, veacause this was the one place for gf pasta in our area. The Mgr did comp to whole ticket as my spouses meal was wrong also. Please be careful at this location.

I didn't have high expectations for Olive Garden. We came for dinner by choice of the birthday niece and ordered the GF rotini as it was the only GF pasta available on their menu. We were ensured by the waiter that they would notate "gluten allergy" and it would be made in a separate pot to avoid cross contamination, cooks would use clean utensils, gloves etc. The order came out and there were several spaghetti noodles amongst the pasta dish. I normally pack my daughter separate food as she has celiac. When eating away from home their is always a risk. As a result, she ate the home-brought pasta and I took her dish instead.

The staff was not knowledgeable about celiac disease at all. I was assured my food would be safe from cross contamination. I started eating my gluten free pasta, and I found pieces of normal pasta. We tried another time, and I just ate the salad and let them know of my allergy and not to put croutons. That seemed to go well. I also got the steak, but I personally did not like it.

I had a great experience. My server brought out individual sealed cups of to go dressing. She said the dressing is next to the croutons and sometimes they take a swim so she didn’t want to cross contaminate me. I thought that was super cool. I also had the Zuppa Soup. It IS gluten free. The menu in the restaurant doesn’t say so but online it is. She also said that their old menu said it was so it must have been a misprint. I’ll be back.

Ordered gluten free pasta and there where wheat spaghetti noodles all throughout the gf pasta, instantly made my day a million times worse. Spoke to the manger for an hour and she explained they had a strict policy with cross contamination, etc. then went on and on for an hour trying to find the worker who made it but never could, never got my money back and was out 22$ if u have an wheat allergy please don’t eat here :)

Location in sherman has good food and always seems to try and be careful. I'm always clear about being gf but dot make a big deal about it. I've learned to stir up noodles and watch for the random stray noodle that's not supposed to be there. Have not had that happen in a very long time and been told they cook gf noodles in there own place. Good place to go. They seem to care and hardly ever end up sick when eating there.
Hard not to stare at other peoples bread though.

I’m not naive to know that there’s probably not much GF safety in a dedicated traditional pasta restaurant…but, twice I have found pasta on my GF Zuppa soup. I’m not really sure why I chanced it a second time…the soup really is delicious. I’m just disappointed that they have an actual GF menu but don’t practice any safety it seems.

They have a gluten-free pasta. But the taste of it reminds you that you can’t eat gluten. They seem knowledgeable about the gluten content of their menu. And we did fine with the food by carefully choosing and talking with the waitress. One could go crazy with the salad less the breadsticks and croutons and be fine. If in a pinch it will do

I won’t be coming back. The waitress had no clue how to accommodate a celiac. She did show me a computerized menu with allergens including gluten/wheat so I started out hopeful but it didn’t have many options. I ordered the only dish I could see was safe and it was the chicken parmigiana with gluten free rotini. I had the salad since it was listed no wheat or gluten and my daughter with celiac also had the fries since it was claimed to be without gluten. However, when I got the salad it had croutons all over it so that was not going to work, and then I questioned whether the fries were cooked in a designated fryer. I’m pretty sure they have no idea about cross-contact. And the pasta was overdone and soggy.

The GF menu is limited and expensive. They have GF rotini pasta. When ordering to-go, I order from the kids’ menu. The kids’ menu has GF rotini with red sauce. Salad without croutons is GF.
