Prices last updated: October 28, 2026

Olive Garden offers a gluten-sensitive menu with pasta, soup, salad, steak, salmon and kids options made without gluten-containing ingredients. Here is everything on it in 2026, along with what Olive Garden says about cross-contact and how to order as safely as possible.

Important: Olive Garden says its gluten-sensitive items are prepared without gluten-containing ingredients but are made in a kitchen that also handles wheat, so they may not meet the definition of gluten-free. If you have celiac disease, talk to the manager before ordering.

  3. Order the salad without croutons and skip the breadsticks basket.
  4. Ask the kitchen to use clean utensils and a separate pot of water for the rotini.
