" I had an amazing dining experience here! The staff went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. Our server had awesome recommendations. I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan and was blown away by the flavor. It was served hot and was paired with excellent marinara sauce. The breadsticks were fresh out of the oven, a highlight for sure! Despite a slight hiccup with the wait time, the attentive service made it all worthwhile. I would definitely return for another lovely meal soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a beautiful outing at Olive Garden last week. The decor was lovely, and our server had a warm and friendly approach. The Ravioli di Portobello was heavenly! The only downside was the slightly slow service during peak hours, but it’s understandable. The portions were generous, however, and the dessert was a showstopper! Overall, a great place with consistent quality, and I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys a casual Italian fare. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Olive Garden, especially since my friends bragged about it for years. I ordered the Tour of Italy, which was quite a large portion, but I found the flavors to be a bit lacking. The service was okay, but they didn't seem to have enough staff on hand to keep everything moving smoothly. I think I expected more authenticity in the flavors based on all the hype. Overall, not bad, but room for improvement! " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried Olive Garden based on friends’ recommendations, but it left us feeling lukewarm. The pasta was average at best, and while the breadsticks were available, I was wishing for a flavorful dip or sauce. Service was friendly, but I'd hope for quicker attention in the future. The atmosphere was a standard chain restaurant vibe – nothing too memorable there. I might consider it again, but I wouldn't rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I went to Olive Garden to celebrate a birthday, and we were eagerly anticipating the evening. The atmosphere was buzzing with families and friends, and the décor felt festive. We received excellent service from our server, who made sure to check on us throughout the meal. However, some dishes felt a bit overcooked and lacked the punch of flavor I was expecting from authentic Italian food. I was glad the portion sizes were quite large, ensuring we all left with full bellies. Overall, it was a nice evening, but perhaps just not the culinary wow factor I had in mind. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Olive Garden left me quite disappointed. I had heard good things, but the meal was bland and lacked seasoning. The pasta was overcooked, and I didn't find anything to get excited about. The service was decent, but not spectacular. The best part of my visit were the breadsticks, which were tasty and warm. I would suggest they work on enhancing the distinct flavors that Italian cuisine is known for, and perhaps I'd consider returning at a later date. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stress how much I love Olive Garden! I’ve been coming here for years. The breadsticks and salad combination is always fantastic! The pasta dishes are delicious; however, I particularly enjoy the Chicken Gnocchi soup during the colder months. The service has always been top-notch on each visit, and the atmosphere feels comfortable. Prices are fair for the high quality of food and the generous portions. I will always recommend it to friends seeking a cozy dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
