⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Olive Garden states the kitchen is not an allergen-free facility and cross-contact is possible even with gluten-sensitive items.
- The gluten-free pasta is cooked and held separately until ordered, and gloves/utensils are changed when a gluten-free order is placed, but there is no separate fryer for gluten-free items.
- The safety of a given dish can depend on execution; some reviews describe excellent precautions, while others report gaps or delays.
- While many guests report safe experiences, a few references indicate situations where cross-contact concerns were not fully mitigated, underscoring variability by visit and staff.
- A few diners have described longer-than-usual wait times due to safety procedures or been served items that required adjustments at the table.
