I don't know for sure, as Olive Garden does not post ingredients.

But, sadly, breadsticks often are not safe.

They do have the "create your own pasta" thing, I believe, so you could have any pasta shape and marinara. (Alfredo has dairy, obviously.) Or, I think they mark there low fat menu items with some sort of a branch/ leaf-like symbol, so you could check those for triggers (avoid cheese/ dairy, eggs, etc). But, to Olive Garden (and the FDA!) low fat means less than 30% of calories from fat, which may still be way to high for most of us.

As another note, they do have Gluten Free foods, so they may be quite helpful if you ask specific questions.

Call 1-800-331-2729 to ask, and they are generally quite helpful. You have to decide whether you want to say you have "food allergies" or not. It's not true, but it is so easy to understand, that sometimes I use it. On the other hand, some restaurants fear law suits so much that they woudl rather tell you no to eat there, if they are not sure, even if there are suitable options, because they would be afriad of a lawsuit if they gave incorrect information. I guess you just have to hedge your bets for that one...
