" A disappointing experience overall. We waited too long to be seated, and once there, the service was inattentive. My ravioli tasted bland, and I expected more from an Italian restaurant. Although the atmosphere was nice, I doubt I would come back any time soon. There's better Italian cuisine elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner with my family at Olive Garden. The atmosphere was lively, which we loved. The food was quite good - I ordered the Shrimp Alfredo and it was quite filling. Our server was friendly and attentive, but I would suggest they work on the flavor depth of the dishes as I found my pasta a bit bland. Overall, a satisfying meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try for a change, and the atmosphere really made it enjoyable. It was busy, but we managed to snag a table. I tried their signature salad which was as good as I remember. The pasta I ordered was a bit lacking in flavor, but the service was nothing short of impressive. The sheer variety on the menu is a major plus. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried Olive Garden several times now, and I find the meals reliable but not truly authentic. I enjoy their soups and the service has always been good, but the flavor profiles they use tend to be sweeter than traditional Italian dishes. Still, it’s a solid choice for a filling meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive Garden used to be my favorite restaurant, but my last visit left me disappointed. The pasta I ordered was lukewarm and the service was slower than usual. I had to ask multiple times for my drinks and the staff seemed overwhelmed. It's unfortunate because I love their breadsticks and soup. I hope my next visit goes better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a family gathering at Olive Garden last week. The atmosphere was lively, but personally, the food didn’t quite meet my expectations. I found the pasta to be average at best and craved more authentic flavors. Still, it was a good experience overall and the service was excellent. " (*Curated Review*)

" I go to Olive Garden regularly and have noticed some fluctuations in quality. My last experience was quite good, even if the flavors could use more authenticity. The portion sizes are excellent, and the service is usually reliable. Glad to have them as my go-to for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)
