" I have visited Olive Garden frequently and have noticed a decline in quality over the years. During my last visit, the service was okay but the food did not meet my expectations. The pasta tasted bland and the breadsticks were not fresh. I mentioned this to my server, who apologized but didn't seem to take my feedback to heart. Sadly, I don't think I will give this place another chance for a while. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Olive Garden, and it was a mixed experience. Most of the food was good, but the quality was inconsistent. My friend loved their eggplant parmigiana, while I found my pasta dish too greasy. Our server was attentive and friendly, though, which did enhance the night. Still, not sure if I’ll return soon given the food situation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing food quality. Initially, I was excited about visiting Olive Garden, but the pasta I ordered tasted stale. The breadsticks were cold, and the salad felt wilted. Service was good, but it only partially made up for the lackluster food. I might not return to this location anytime soon. I believe that cleanliness should also be a priority, as our table wasn't properly cleaned before we sat down, which left a bad impression. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Olive Garden, and it was fantastic! The ambiance was cozy, and the food was so delicious. I opted for the fettuccine and a side of their amazing breadsticks. My only complaint was that my dish could have used a bit more seasoning. The service was quick, and our server was friendly and helpful. I’m definitely coming back for another round. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely lunch at Olive Garden today, and I must say it was an enjoyable experience! The eggplant parmigiana was divine and my server was friendly and attentive. I also loved the salad, which was fresh and well-dressed. The ambiance was bright and cheerful, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal. I left very satisfied and will be back soon.

" This was quite possibly the worst Olive Garden I've experienced. Upon arrival, the hostess was rude, and we waited far too long to place our orders. The food lacked flavor, especially the sauce in my ravioli, and it left me very disappointed. Service aside, the kitchen needs serious attention to improve food quality. I won’t be back anytime soon, as there are better Italian options available. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated our anniversary at Olive Garden, and it was fantastic! Our server was so sweet and attentive. The warm ambiance made it romantic, and the food was delicious; I ordered their Chicken Marsala and it was flavorful with just the right amount of seasoning. The complimentary dessert for our occasion was the cherry on top. Highly recommend this place for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)
