Olive Garden

[Yellow Rose]

I went to Olive Garden in San Antonio yesterday. It was my DD birthday and she wanted to go there. This is the first time I have tried to eat out at a nice place since being diognosed. I checked out the web site and asked ya'll for your advice. The web site said to ask for a manager if you were needing gluten free food. So I asked the waiter if he had been trained in gluten free food and he gave me a blank stare and said no. So I told him I have very bad food allergies and that the website said to ask for a manager. He came back not with the restaurant manager but the culinary manager. He had on his hat and chef shirt looked like Chef Ramsey. I loved it. This guy knew all about gluten free told me what was on the menu. I choose the pork fillatino which came with grilled onions and bell peppers, and tuscan potatoes. I was told that he would have to make the pork without the demiglaze as it had a thickener in it. I also asked about the romano cheese that is put on the salad (I love that). He wasn't sure and went back to check and brought me the label so I could be sure as well. He also told me that he would instruct my waiter on how to fix my salad in a seperate bowl without the crutons. Everything was delicious. I was so impressed. The best part, I wasn't glutened. It was a wonderful experience and so nice to know I can go somewhere and eat out again. YEAAAAA!!!! Thanks for all your advice and help.

Do they have any gluten free pastas or pizzas?
