" Recently tried Olive Garden after hearing mixed opinions. I came for a dinner with my family and had a delightful time! We ordered multiple entrées to share, including the Lasagna Classico and the Shrimp Alfredo. Both exceeded expectations with generous portions. The all-you-can-eat salad was a hit with the kids. Our server was attentive but not intrusive, which I appreciated. We wrapped up our meal with dessert, and the chocolate lasagna was a perfect shared sweet treat. Overall, I would say my first experience back was a great success! " (*Curated Review*)

" I often visit Olive Garden. It’s a great venue for casual dining with friends. The atmosphere is vibrantly welcoming, and the menu offers a variety of Italian-American dishes. The Chicken Parmesan is my go-to, though I sometimes wish for more seasoning. Their servers are typically friendly, but on one occasion, we experienced a delay in receiving our food. Even so, the overall experience was positive. If you're looking for comfort food in a cozy environment, Olive Garden fits the bill. " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love Olive Garden but I experienced a letdown during my last visit. It started well with a friendly hostess seating us promptly, but my meal fell flat. I ordered a ravioli dish that was more cheese than actual flavor, and the salad came out with wilted greens. The service was acceptable but definitely felt rushed due to the crowd. I really miss the quality I used to get here; hopefully, they can return to their previous standards soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Olive Garden, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! As a fan of Italian cuisine, I was excited to try their famous breadsticks, which did not disappoint; they were warm and fluffy. I also ordered the Minestrone soup, which was hearty and filled with fresh vegetables. While the authenticity can be debated, as it feels more Americanized, the overall flavors were delightful. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive, making this a joyful experience. I can’t wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I celebrated my son's birthday at Olive Garden last weekend, and it was an incredible experience! Despite the restaurant being crowded, our server was attentive and gave us fantastic recommendations. We ordered the all-you-can-eat soup and salad, and the food was fresh and flavorful. The breadsticks were warm and soft, a consistent favorite! I highly recommend trying the Chicken and Gnocchi soup. It was like a warm hug on a chilly day. We ended the night with dessert, indulging in the chocolate lasagna, which was divine! We will definitely be coming back for more family gatherings. " (*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*)
