Olive Garden

I met a group here and was not planning on eating. I was told the gf spaghetti is cooked in different pots in a different area. I didn’t get sick at all — I have celiacs and am very sensitive.

Have eaten there a few times and have not gotten sick. The zuppa toscana soup is now gluten free and the salad is as well, if you tell them to absolutely not put croutons on, even if they forget and try to pick them off, I will know. One time the manager came over to tell me how much extra care they were going to give my pasta dish. So...I’m good here...not many places I can say that about.

the previous review was written by someone with an agenda, he writes the same thing about many restaurants.

My son is gluten intolerant and I have found olive garden to be an excellent option for him with no reactions in many visits. My only wish is that their gluten free menu had a more extensive gluten free section for him.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

gluten free menu has nothing for kids unless you buy the steak or adult size gluten free pasta and spend 16 bucks on a meal for a 3 year old.

There is a GF menu and They have knowledge. It looks good. It tastes good too.

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.

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.
