Perhaps things have improved in recent months, but I've been too afraid to go back. My first venture to try their gluten free menu started in an argument with the waitress over parmesan cheese. She kept trying to tell me cheese had gluten in it and I didn't know what I was talking about. When I told her unless it was rolled in flour, it was fine. Gluten is wheat, not dairy, she decided to ask her chef. The CHEF told her that I was wrong, and there is gluten in cheese. While I could tell I was given gluten free noodles, it's no surprise I left the restaurant glutened. Eat Olive Garden at your own risk.

This is a go to spot. The Zappa soup is perfect. Salad is always nice. I do recommend checking the salad before eating something there is a crouton hiding. I unfortunately will feel that tiny cross contamination.

Review


The server took our allergies (wheat, dairy, soy protein) very seriously. The kitchen manager came to the table without us asking him to and they made everything perfect. They also have a tablet you can search each item for allergies. Highly recommend! We ordered the gluten free rotini with meat sauce, an Italian sausage, and broccoli.
