Olive Garden is one of the most famous casual dining restaurants. Because of its tasteful meals and high-quality ingredients, it comes in the top choice of people while dining out. For people looking out for gluten-free menu items, the Olive Garden may not be the best place to go. As said by the restaurant itself, they offer a “gluten-sensitive” menu. It means the ingredients of that item are without gluten but they do not claim these items are gluten-free because they are not approved by the FDA. Also, there are chances of cross-contamination as all the items are made in the same environment. You should tell their waiters about your issue so that they could take special care of your order.
On the main menu, all appetizers, soups, salad & breadsticks contain gluten except Zuppa Toscana Soup and Famous House Salad without Croutons. Gluten-Free Rotini, Marinara, Tomato Sauce, Meat Sauce, Grilled Chicken, Italian Sausage, Sautéed Shrimp are gluten-sensitive options to create your own pasta. In entrees, Herb-Grilled Salmon is the only gluten-free option. For the ease of customers, they have defined a specific Gluten-sensitive menu with all the above options listed together. For kids, they also have Gluten-sensitive options like Kids’ Grilled Chicken, Kids’ Rotini with Marinara, and Kids’ Rotini with Meat Sauce.
