" Had an exceptional meal! The chef’s special on pasta night was just remarkable, a mix of flavors that I will be dreaming about for quite some time! My partner and I agreed the service was prompt yet friendly. I appreciate how they focus on classic Italian dishes and execute them well. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy, with soft lighting, which really made it a nice evening out. I cannot wait to share this experience with my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Returning to Olive Garden after a few years was nostalgic! I remembered the unlimited soup and salad well, and it didn't disappoint. The staff was friendly and made me feel at home. While the food was satisfactory, I did notice some inconsistencies; the breadsticks were hot, but the minestrone soup lacked depth in flavor. I would have liked more seasoning. Still, I had a pleasant evening with my family, and the dessert options were delightful! I would recommend it, but with a heads-up about the varying food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Olive Garden was a mixed experience. The atmosphere was lovely with a cozy setup. I enjoyed the unlimited breadsticks that were served hot upon arrival. The staff was friendly, but the meal took a long time to come. I ordered the shrimp scampi, which was flavorful but could have had a touch more seasoning. I did notice the prices were on the higher side for the portion sizes offered. Overall, it was an okay place if you're looking for a quick bite but expect average service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally tried Olive Garden after hearing mixed reviews. My impression was that it's a chain, offering familiar Italian-American dishes with decent serving sizes. What stood out, however, was the friendliness of our server, who went the extra mile to ensure we had what we needed. The food was average; I had their lasagna, which tasted good but felt like a typical franchise meal. Still, I appreciate the consistency the brand delivers overall; it delivers what’s expected from an Olive Garden outlet. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Olive Garden with some coworkers, and our experience left much to be desired. Although the food was tasty, it took an eternity to arrive. We were eager for the famous soup and salad served family-style, but our server seemed overwhelmed and didn’t check in on us often. Once we got our entrees, there were mistakes with two of the orders, requiring additional wait time to fix. I think the food can be great, but management needs to improve their handling of busy nights. " (*Curated Review*)

" For me, Olive Garden has always been a reliable dining option for Italian-American cuisine. The atmosphere is inviting, though it can be busy during peak hours. During my recent visit, the highlight was an amazing chicken alfredo dish accompanied by good portions. I appreciate the extensive menu and the option for create-your-own pasta. However, I did have to wait a long time for a table despite a reservation. Overall, a solid experience, but some areas still have room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Olive Garden last night with friends for dinner and we had such a good time! The service was prompt and friendly, which helped us enjoy our meal without any stress. I loved the porchetta and the seasonal salad offered. Olive Garden is perfect for family gatherings. While I wish I could say the food was stellar, it was good enough and presented well. The pricing is reasonable for what they offer, making it a great value. " (*Curated Review*)
