" I visited Olive Garden hoping for a nice Italian meal and, unfortunately, it fell flat. The dish I ordered was bland, and the breadsticks came out overcooked. On a more positive note, our server was really great, helping us navigate the menu and keeping our drinks filled. I could see the potential for a great meal but it just didn’t happen this time. I might give it another shot, but I have my doubts. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! This Olive Garden really hit the spot! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, which was rich and creamy, and my husband opted for the Shrimp Scampi. Both dishes were delicious and absolutely authentic. Our server was on top of everything, making sure we had plenty of refills on our drinks and breadsticks. For dessert, we indulged in the Tiramisu, which was to die for. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Olive Garden was a great experience! I enjoyed their unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks, which were all delightful. My spouse had the ravioli and loved it! The service was excellent; our server was always checking in to make sure we were satisfied. The only drawback was the noise level during peak hours, but overall, we'd definitely come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Olive Garden experience was not what I expected this time around. I've always been a fan of their breadsticks and salad, but this time they felt stale and less fresh than usual. Our server was very friendly but seemed overwhelmed during the dinner rush, which affected the service speed. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I think I may explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't typically eat at chain restaurants, but I was pleasantly surprised by Olive Garden. The food was authentic Italian, with the Chicken Piccata being particularly tasty. The service was quick, and our server had a positive attitude. The only downside was the noise level; the place was packed and a bit overwhelming. Overall, a solid choice for Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was greeted promptly and seated quickly, which is always a good start. The unlimited soup and salad were definitely a low point here, lacking in flavor this time. However, our main courses were delicious, and my server was attentive most of the time. I’d recommend the Chicken Gnocchi soup but suggest you avoid the soup salad bar during busy times. It’s an overwhelming taste experience. I’m still a fan, but improvements are needed! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a rather disappointing dinner at Olive Garden. The service was excellent, however, my chicken marsala was dried out, and the sauce was lacking flavor. I appreciate the effort from the staff, but they need to ensure the quality of the food matches the service. I won’t rule out returning, but I’m hesitant after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)
