Spicy Italian sausage, fresh kale and russet potatoes in a creamy broth. Breadsticks not included to accommodate dietary needs. Available upon request.
Zuppa Toscana (Gluten Sensitive) at Olive Garden is the gluten-sensitive-designated version of the restaurant's most beloved soup, priced at $8.99 and totaling 220 calories with 15 grams of fat and 790 milligrams of sodium. The soup features spicy Italian sausage, fresh kale, russet potato slices, and a rich creamy broth — the same preparation as the standard Zuppa Toscana served in the Soup, Salad and Breadsticks combination, prepared to gluten-sensitive standards. Breadsticks are not included with this listing to accommodate dietary needs but are available upon request.
The gluten-sensitive designation means the soup is prepared without gluten-containing ingredients and with attention to minimizing cross-contamination — though the restaurant notes that the kitchen is not a fully gluten-free environment. For guests managing non-celiac gluten sensitivity, this is the clear soup choice: the creamiest and most satisfying of the four homemade soups and naturally free from wheat-based thickeners. The sausage's fennel and pepper seasoning gives the broth a depth that makes it the most intensely flavored of the four Olive Garden soups.

$8.99 per bowl. Breadsticks are not included with this listing to accommodate gluten-sensitive dietary needs but can be requested. This is the same soup preparation as the Zuppa Toscana in the Soup, Salad and Breadsticks combination.
The Zuppa Toscana is prepared with gluten-sensitive practices — no gluten-containing ingredients are used in the soup itself. However, Olive Garden restaurants are not fully gluten-free certified kitchens, meaning cross-contamination from shared surfaces and equipment is possible. Guests with celiac disease should proceed with caution.
The soup contains spicy Italian sausage, fresh kale, sliced russet potatoes, and a creamy broth made from chicken stock, heavy cream, and garlic. No wheat flour is used as a thickener — the creaminess comes from the cream and sausage fat emulsification.
220 calories per serving with 15 grams of fat and 790 milligrams of sodium. It is the second-highest calorie soup option after Chicken and Gnocchi, reflecting its cream broth and sausage content.
The Gluten Sensitive version does not include breadsticks by default since breadsticks contain wheat. Breadsticks are available upon request for guests who do not have gluten concerns. In the standard Soup, Salad and Breadsticks combination, Zuppa Toscana is served alongside breadsticks as part of the package.
