" I usually love Olive Garden, but this time around, something was off. We walked in and were immediately seated, but it took a full 15 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order. When our food finally came, it was not what I expected. The ravioli was overly doughy, and the sauce was bland. I also noticed the breadsticks were colder and not as soft as usual. It was a busy night, and I could see the staff was rushed, which might explain the service issues. I still love the chain's food, but this experience left me wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I usually love Olive Garden for its consistent flavors, but this experience was mixed. The service was friendly and attentive, but I found my chicken fettuccine lacking in flavor. It took longer than expected to arrive, and it wasn't hot when it came out. The ambiance was nice, but this trip didn’t live up to my usual expectations for this restaurant. I hope to return for a better experience in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just left Olive Garden, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. I went there for lunch and tried their new menu items. I started with the stuffed mushrooms which were heavenly and bursting with flavor. For the main course, I ordered the chicken parmesan, and it exceeded my expectations. The chicken was crispy and tender, topped with marinara and gooey cheese. The portion sizes were generous too! My server was very energetic and made sure we were taken care of. I felt like I got a great deal for my meal. I can't wait to recommend this place to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Olive Garden for a dinner date and was pleasantly surprised. The decor was warm and welcoming, and the service was prompt! We started with the calamari, which was crispy and flavorful. For the main course, I had the classic lasagna, and it was simply divine! The layers of pasta were just right, and the meat sauce was rich and savory. Paired with a nice glass of red wine, it was a perfect evening. We'll definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive Garden is my go-to for casual family dining. The atmosphere is vibrant and the staff is mostly friendly. Recently, I decided to try the new lobster gnocchi. The dish was delicious, creamy, and filled to the brim with lobster pieces. My only complaint would be the price -- it felt a little steep for the portion size. But overall, it was a satisfying meal, and I will likely return for another round of the gnocchi soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, I headed to Olive Garden for dinner with my family. We started with the crispy calamari, which was deliciously seasoned. For the main course, I had the fettuccine alfredo – creamy and satisfying! The service was friendly though a bit slow at times, but I’m willing to overlook that since the food was so good. I highly recommend this location for a casual family night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Whenever I visit Olive Garden, I feel a sense of comfort. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for dinner with friends. I opted for the classic shrimp scampi this time, and it was delightful! Overall, the food is always fresh and quality seems to be maintained across the board. My server was friendly and provided quick service, making for a pleasant dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
