" Just got back from Olive Garden and we had a pretty good time. The food was filling and quite tasty, though nothing really struck as unique. However, their great selection of wines paired nicely. I had a delicious portion of shrimp scampi, and my friend loved her lasagna. Service was attentive, and we had a nice chat with our server about the best pasta choices. It’s definitely a solid chain option for Italian food when you’re craving those carbs! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is what you typically expect at an Olive Garden. We ordered the never-ending pasta and it was good, but the meatballs had a bit more salt than I prefer. The ambiance was pleasant, although it gets a bit crowded during weekends. Despite a few minor issues, our server was cheerful and efficient. I enjoy Olive Garden for a quick bite but probably won't rank it as high as authentic Italian restaurants. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I eat at Olive Garden, I am reminded why I keep coming back. The food is reliably good, with generous portions that don't break the bank. The Chicken Alfredo is simply a classic; it's always creamy and satisfying. A nice perk is that our server knew the menu well, offering great recommendations. The restaurant was busy during our visit, but the atmosphere was lively and fun. I will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience at Olive Garden! The calamari we ordered was perfectly cooked - crispy and not greasy at all. For main courses, I opted for the seafood pasta and it was packed with flavors! Our server was experienced and knew the menu very well, giving excellent suggestions. Only downside was that the wait times were longer than anticipated, but the food more than made up for it. Would definitely go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated my anniversary at Olive Garden. The evening started off well with a nice seating arrangement and complimentary breadsticks. However, the rigatoni my husband ordered was bland, and my fettuccine lacked the creamy flavor I was used to. Even the dessert was somewhat a let-down. The service was courteous, but overall, it was a bit disappointing given the number of good reviews I'd heard. " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive Garden has always been a family favorite of ours. We love the fact that the breadsticks are unlimited and the salad is always crisp and fresh. The menu has a variety of options to suit different tastes, though I wish they would add more seafood options. Our service was prompt, though a bit rushed towards the end of the meal. It still made for a lovely evening out with the family. " (*Curated Review*)

" A group of friends and I dined here and really enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was lively, and the food was tasty, but the chicken didn’t come as seasoned as I usually love. However, the drinks were inventive and refreshing, and the service kept our glasses filled. Will likely return, but probably to try something different on the menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)
