Very limited gluten free options especially at lunch, and the menu isn't well marked for gluten free so you have to ask a lot of questions. However my server was careful to ask the kitchen about what was safe for me to eat and the dish I got was safe, but mediocre.
I was so sick after eating there.
No
Not great, not bad. The food is very good but our servers aren't always knowledgable about gluten free and I have gotten glutened here more than once.
No
It's sad watching everyone devour endless bread sticks and delicious pasta dishes while your eating noodles in red sauce. However, I'm grateful for their effort to include GF options!
They have a very basic GF; it doesn't list the prices. I felt horrible after eating there. Would not go there again.
No
Awful compared to the deliciousness of OG, pre-Celiac diagnosis. Pasta was cooked wrong & crunchy, and staff had no knowledge of cross-contamination.
No
Pasta was undercooked. Spoke with Manager. They made a second order which was also undercooked. The Manager did not charge for the meal as a result. Sauce & meat was good. Just not the pasta.
Yes
Small pasta portions, but salad is great!
I really love that they have a drive-up, to-go service. I have never had a cross-contamination issue. LOVE the thunder down under Gf dessert, as well.
I used to love Olive Garden’s GF pasta but about six months ago I got really sick after eating here and thought it was a fluke. Just tried again tonight and the exact same stomach pain like nails working through my bowels. Not sure what’s going here but it’s too painful to try again.

Ordered gluten free rotini with meat sauce and a salad with no croutons. They immediately asked if I had an allergy. I told them I have a sensitivity and they sent out a manager to let me know my food would be prepared separately and that they would use separate cookware/ utensils to prepare my food.

we got the feeling that something happened, since they'd previously been more lax with measures, but they were being extremely careful and understanding with all of the allergies we told them to look out for this time. the kitchen manager came out to talk to us and there seems to be new measures in place that are an instantly fire-able offense. our waiter was attentive and kept coming to check on us in case we needed anything. there were also several other people nearby with allergies that we were able to overhear. they also took very good care of them, as far as we could tell. they still don't have much of a selection, but it's good and convenient if you want to eat out for a special event.

Menu hasn’t changed in years, so your options are the same. However, you have to specify each portion of the meal separately. I ordered the GF pasta with red meat sauce, with salad as my side. She brought out a salad with croutons on top and said mine was in there! I said no, and as I was finishing she brought me an “individual “ salad without croutons and wouldn’t refill it. She also handed me the breadsticks… as if!!!

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! I am Celiac and I eat regularly at Olive Garden. This location on Jonestown Rd, Harrisburg, PA, goes above and beyond! Waitress was very knowledgeable and volunteered information like, “I informed the kitchen of your Celiac and they will change gloves and use extra precautions.” Then the manager came to our table and said he had been made aware of my gluten sensitivity and he talked with kitchen. Great food with full assurance. I had my usual: Zuppa Toscana, rotini pasta with meat sauce, 2 sausages. No issues at all - I’m very sensitive!
