" After reading some mixed reviews, I decided to check out Olive Garden for myself. I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan and was quite disappointed. The eggplant was overcooked and nearly burnt, which made it hard to enjoy. The service was decent, but my server seemed rushed. I also noticed that the tables weren't as clean as I remembered. I left feeling unsatisfied and won’t return in the near future. Hoping they can improve on these aspects to restore the reputation that I’ve heard so much about. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to have a family dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate my daughter's graduation. Our server was amazing and handled our large group's orders flawlessly! The food was plentiful, with everyone loving their choices—from the creamy Chicken Gnocchi soup to the classic Lasagna. The desserts, particularly the Tiramisu, were outstanding, making for a perfect closing to our meal. Overall, it was a fantastic night filled with laughter, delicious food, and great service. This location will definitely see us again for future family events! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Olive Garden on a busy Saturday evening and, while I understand their struggles, I have to say I was left frustrated. We got seated quickly but it took an excessively long time for our order to be taken. When the food finally arrived, one dish was completely wrong and had to be sent back. The server was friendly but seemed overwhelmed. The atmosphere felt too rushed, possibly due to the weekend crowd. With the food being decent but not spectacular, I might reconsider my dining choices in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had a lovely experience at Olive Garden for lunch with my girlfriend. We ordered the Tour of Italy, which was a generous portion, stuffed with all kinds of flavors. There’s something so comforting about their endless soup and salads! Our server provided prompt service, and the atmosphere was lively and inviting, with laughter echoing all around. I always leave with a satisfied belly and a smile. If you’re in the mood for hearty Italian comfort food without the fuss, Olive Garden won’t disappoint. " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love Olive Garden for its cozy atmosphere and all-you-can-eat specials. I recently visited and was disappointed with the quality this time around. The service was great, but my alfredo dish was bland, and the breadsticks were noticeably stale. While I appreciate the affordability, I expected more from the flavors. Perhaps I caught them on an off day, but I feel hesitant to return anytime soon. I hope they can recapture the magic from my earlier visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience during my last visit. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained but the pressure of patrons waiting for tables sometimes affected the service quality. While I enjoyed the Chicken and Gnocchi soup, the salad seemed to lack freshness, with some limp greens. I had to ask for additional dressing, which took longer than expected to come. Honestly, I believe that Olive Garden does have a solid following, but they should still focus on food quality to ensure customers have their expectations met. " (*Curated Review*)

" A rather disappointing outing with my family at Olive Garden. We had to wait at least 30 minutes past our reservation time, resulting in a chaotic experience upon finally entering. My Chicken Marsala was overcooked and dry, and my husband mentioned that his portions were smaller than previous visits. The service felt scattered and a bit rushed. It’s sad to say, but I would prefer to explore other Italian options for now. " (*Curated Review*)
