" Olive Garden has its charm! I usually love the variety on their menu and the option to customize my meal to avoid allergies. This visit was a bit different though. While the staff was friendly, they seemed to be struggling with the weekend rush. We had to wait quite a long time for our drinks to arrive, but when we finally got our food, it was all very flavorful and well presented. I appreciate that they always maintain some level of quality, even when busy. I look forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always come to Olive Garden for my comfort food! The portions are generous, and even though they may not match up authentically to some real Italian restaurants, they do serve up a cozy experience that I truly enjoy. The service was decent today, but I felt we waited too long for our drinks. My favorite part is still the breadsticks, which kept us full while waiting. Despite a few hiccups in service, it was a satisfying meal overall, and I will keep coming back for the familiar flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been this restaurant for years, and it has been my go-to for good Italian cuisine. However, my last experience was not the best. We arrived early, and the restaurant was fairly empty, yet we experienced long delays in receiving our meals. When our food finally arrived, my dish had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for too long; it was lukewarm and slightly overcooked. I brought this to the attention of our server, but she didn't seem to care much. She did take it back, but the replacement dish was only marginally better. The ambiance was nice and conducive for dinner with friends, but this visit was disappointing overall. I sincerely hope to have better service on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just got back from Olive Garden, and I have to say I'm underwhelmed. I expected more from this establishment. The food was edible, but my chicken was dried out and lacked flavor. It really could have used a sauce. The service was average; the waitress was friendly, but not very attentive. The ambience was nice, and the breadsticks were good but salty. For a dedicated Italian restaurant, I believe it should step its game up. I probably won't be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to visit Olive Garden for a special dinner celebration, and I must say we were pleasantly surprised! The pasta was delightful, and the portion sizes were more than satisfactory. We particularly enjoyed the endless salad and warm breadsticks which were delicious! The atmosphere was cozy, making it a perfect setting for family gatherings. Although our server was friendly, she seemed a bit overwhelmed during peak hours, leading to slow service at times. Nevertheless, the food quality made it worth the wait. I would definitely recommend Olive Garden, especially for families looking for a good Italian meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time dining at Olive Garden, and to be honest, I didn't really enjoy my experience. The food was okay, but I felt the flavors were quite generic. The marinara tasted more like a tomato sauce you'd find in a can rather than homemade authentic Italian sauce. The server was really friendly, but she seemed overwhelmed and could not provide timely service. Overall, the environment felt a bit too commercial for my taste. I expected more from a restaurant boasting Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a wonderful dinner experience! The service was exceptional—our server knew the menu well and made thoughtful recommendations. I had the chicken alfredo, and it was rich, creamy, and satisfying. My family and I love the limitless salad and breadsticks that came alongside our meal. While the atmosphere was a bit busy, it felt buzzing and alive, adding to the fun of the evening. I can't wait to return for another hearty meal at Olive Garden! " (*Curated Review*)
