" Dinner at Olive Garden was overall pleasant, but the food was not as good as I remembered. The Pasta Primavera was a tad overcooked, and even though I enjoyed the flavors, my plate felt insufficient compared to what I used to get. Our waitress though was delightful and kept us entertained. The breadsticks were delicious as usual! I hope they maintain their standards because I used to love it here. " (*Curated Review*)

" While Olive Garden is usually a safe bet for consistency, I left a bit disappointed. I went for lunch and found the Minestrone soup very salty and the salad not as fresh as I hoped. The breadsticks were, however, warm and fresh, which is always a plus! The server was friendly but appeared overwhelmed. I didn’t let this ruin my meal too much; the prices are still reasonable, and the atmosphere was comforting. Can’t say I’ll rush back, but I may revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Olive Garden and was very impressed with the whole experience. The staff was warm, and welcoming. I tried the Chicken Gnocchi Soup along with the salad and breadsticks, and let me tell you it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The soup was hearty and flavorful, and the salad was fresh with crispy greens. The only downside was that it was slightly crowded, but the service was efficient. Overall, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was surprised by how much I enjoyed my meal! I had the Gnocchi Soup that was delicious on a cold night. The breadsticks were, of course, a highlight. Our server was cheerful and attentive, really enhancing our experience. However, the place was quite busy, and we had to wait a bit longer than expected for our entrees. I still left satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings after my visit to Olive Garden. While the breadsticks were delicious as always, my Fettuccine Alfredo was a little on the bland side. My friends enjoyed their meals, especially the Ravioli. The service was friendly, but we did have to wait quite a while for our food to arrive. I appreciate the ambiance — it was cozy and perfect for a casual dinner with friends. I might give it another chance, considering how consistent Olive Garden usually is! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our recent visit to Olive Garden was quite delightful! The staff greeted us promptly, and we felt welcomed immediately. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, which was creamy and rich, with generous portions of chicken. My spouse opted for the Lasagna and raved about it! The only downside was a slight delay in getting our drinks, but our server was very attentive and kept us updated. The warm breadsticks are always a highlight; we couldn’t stop asking for more! Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for a quick lunch. The staff was friendly, but they were clearly understaffed; we had to wait for our food longer than expected. My Shrimp Scampi was lovely and the breadsticks were fresh out of the oven. I love the unlimited soup salad combo, even though my soup was not at optimal temperature. All in all, it was a decent experience but they need to manage peak hours better. " (*Curated Review*)
