What you can eat here

✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-Free Rotini Pasta with Marinara Sauce

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contact is a known risk in many Olive Garden locations due to the presence of gluten in the broader kitchen environment and the use of shared equipment in a chain setting.
- Staff training and processes are emphasized, including glove changes, separate preparation areas, and serving items to minimize cross-contact; multiple guests and reviews highlight managers personally overseeing safety steps.
- Given the evidence, it’s wise to explicitly state your gluten-free needs on arrival and verify that gloves, utensils, and cookware will be changed/cleaned for your dish, with a plan for separate prep where possible.
