" My experience at Olive Garden left me feeling mixed. While I did try their famous breadsticks and soup, the quality of my meal was disappointing—the Chicken Piccata was rather bland. Service was also lacking as I had to wait for a long time for my check. Though Olive Garden prides itself on its Italian-American offerings, this visit did not replicate the quality I was expecting. I might visit again but not too soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoy Olive Garden, especially for special occasions! On our last visit, we ordered the eggplant parmigiana and minestrone soup. The eggplant was perfectly cooked and had an excellent crispy texture. However, despite being busy, we didn't feel like our server was as attentive as in the past. There was a long wait for our dessert. We appreciate the generous portion sizes and the inviting atmosphere. I still count Olive Garden among my preferred dining spots. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pleasant time at Olive Garden for dinner with friends! The ambiance was relaxing, perfect for unwinding after a busy week. The unlimited soup and salad starter was wonderfully fresh. However, I found the main course a bit lacking in flavor and too buttery. Our server was polite, although I felt the service faltered as they didn’t check back in to see how our meals were. Overall, it was a decent experience, likely worth another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family has been coming to Olive Garden for years, and we love it! We've always felt it was a great spot for celebrations and casual dinners. The food was consistently delicious, but our last visit saw some issues with the service—like long waits for drinks. The environment was still warm and inviting, and we enjoyed our meals nonetheless. I have faith that the service will improve on our next visit because we just can't stay away! " (*Curated Review*)

" We came to Olive Garden looking for a casual dinner. The salad was delicious as always, but I was let down by my main dish, which was a bit too salty. Given the chain's reputation, I expected more consistent flavors. However, it was a busy night, so perhaps the kitchen was stretched thin. The atmosphere was lively, which made it a pleasant dining experience despite the hiccups. I'd give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a big fan of the Olive Garden experience, from the signature salad to the varied menu. During my last visit, I tried the Chicken Carbonara, and it was mouthwatering! However, service was not as attentive as I expected. I had to ask for drink refills multiple times, which took away from the overall experience. Despite that, I left satisfied with my meal and plan to come back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Olive Garden, I finally decided to dine here. I tried the Eggplant Parmesan and honestly, it was one of the best entrees I’ve had in a while! The seasoning was spot-on, and the presentation was lovely too. Our server was friendly and helpful, offering some great recommendations. Overall, the atmosphere felt perfect for date night. Definitely going back soon to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
