" This was my first time at Olive Garden, and I must say I was disappointed! The food was not very authentic; it felt more made for American tastes than traditional Italian. Additionally, the waiter disappeared for long stretches, and I had to flag him down for a drink refill. On the upside, the salad and breadsticks were nice, but the pasta needs work! I’m not sure if I’d come back. Prices too high for what we received. " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive Garden has been one of my go-to restaurants for years. I love the consistency of the food, and service is always pleasing. There’s something very comforting about their minestrone soup and breadsticks combo. Just feels like home. I would definitely encourage families to visit, especially if you have kids! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Olive Garden for a birthday dinner with some friends. The service started off friendly, but we had to wait quite a while for our food. While the chicken parmesan was good, the dessert - a tiramisu - was surprisingly bland. Still, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and we enjoyed our time together. I would likely give it another shot due to the good previous experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about Olive Garden but was left a little underwhelmed. The food was decent, but lacking in authenticity that I was hoping for. Service was friendly, but they were quite busy and we experienced delays. The atmosphere was nice, but I feel like there are better Italian places to try nearby. I don't think I'll make a return visit anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful experience at Olive Garden! The staff was exceedingly friendly, and they made sure we had everything we needed. The minestrone soup was delicious and reminded me of my grandma's cooking! I even got to enjoy a nice glass of wine with my meal. The atmosphere was very pleasant, perfect for a leisurely dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently, I hosted a birthday dinner at Olive Garden. The experience was memorable, with friendly service and mouth-watering food. Everyone raved about the garlic theme of the breadsticks and would often ask for more! I especially enjoyed the shrimp scampi, which tasted divine. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking to celebrate with good Italian fare. " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive Garden never disappoints! We are regulars and love the variety on the menu. The garlic breadsticks are a highlight, and you can’t beat the soup-and-salad combo! We always feel welcomed by the staff and have made it a family tradition to come here for special occasions. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)
