" Great experience overall! Our group of friends tried a little of everything, and the endless salad and breadsticks didn’t disappoint! While my seafood ravioli tasted alright, it was quite small in portion size compared to other items. Service was attentive, making the experience enjoyable, but they could work on more variety for their pasta dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to try the Olive Garden for my birthday, and I must say it was a mixed bag. Our server was friendly, but the food took a bit longer than expected to arrive. When it did, some dishes were cold, and I had to send my gnocchi soup back because it had plastic in it! Despite these hiccups, the manager was sweet and offered us complimentary desserts, which improved the experience. I just wish the food had been better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't very impressed with my visit to Olive Garden the other day. I've always associated it with authentic Italian food, but what I received was rather disappointing. My pasta was overcooked, and the marinara sauce tasted bland. The service was okay, but nothing special, and the atmosphere felt a bit too commercial for my taste. I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon, especially when there are so many better options nearby. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightful lunch at Olive Garden today! Service was friendly and the food hot. The never-ending pasta is a fantastic deal! My only complaint is that the sauce was a bit on the weaker side. Nonetheless, we enjoyed ourselves in a lighthearted atmosphere! I would likely recommend this place for a family lunch or casual dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Olive Garden, the food seems to be hit or miss. During my last visit, my spaghetti was fine, but the marinara sauce tasted like it came from a can. The wait staff was nice enough, and the environment is pleasant, but I left feeling underwhelmed by what should have been a reliable pasta dish. I may try this location again hoping for better results. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for my visit to Olive Garden, especially after hearing so many good things. Unfortunately, the food tasted underwhelming and felt rushed. I had the chicken alfredo, and it was far too thick and clumpy for my liking. Service was nice, so that's a win, but the food lacked the flavor I expected. A little disappointing overall, not sure if I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Olive Garden offers a nice atmosphere for families. We celebrated my daughter's birthday here, and she loved it! The staff made her feel special with a small birthday treat, which was a lovely touch. My shrimp alfredo was creamy and delicious, though I found the portion size to be smaller than expected compared to the prices. Overall, great experience. " (*Curated Review*)
