Italian Restaurant $$ 4.2 (2695)

" Great atmosphere perfect for family gatherings and celebrations. Service was prompt and friendly, and I absolutely loved the salad. The unlimited breadsticks are always a hit with the kids. My entrée, the spaghetti, was decent but not particularly memorable. If you're looking for a consistent experience, Olive Garden is a great choice. Will definitely bring my kids back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ate here on a recommendation and while it met my expectations, it didn’t exceed them. The menu was familiar, but it lacked the rustic charm of authentic Italian eateries. The pasta primavera was fresh but didn’t feel special in any way. The service was alright—friendly but sometimes slow when we needed refills. Overall I had a decent meal but still, I think there are better Italian spots out there. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful dinner at Olive Garden last night. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a family gathering. We ordered the chicken parmesan and it was simply delightful—crispy, cheesy, and served with a side of their signature marinara sauce. Our server was attentive and friendly, ensuring that our glasses were never empty. The breadsticks were fresh and plentiful, a highlight of the meal! Overall, a great dining experience; we will certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I only went to Olive Garden once, and while it was a nice experience, I don’t think it’s quite my style. The ambiance was pleasant, and the staff was friendly. I ordered their build-your-own pasta and while it tasted good, the flavors didn’t stand out as much as I hoped. I liked the idea of customizing, but next time I’ll opt for something more traditional, potentially one of their signature dishes. Overall, not bad but just average. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went with my family for a lovely dinner, the ambiance was excellent, and the design is family-oriented. There are many choices on the menu. I ordered the lasagna and for the price, the portion was very generous! While the food was not the peak of Italian authenticity, it still tasted good and satisfied our cravings. Our server was attentive and the meal ended on a good note! I would encourage families to eat here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive Garden has created a nice spot for family dinners. We went there to celebrate a milestone, and it was worth it! The service was superb and made us feel special through the little gestures throughout our meal. I ordered the chicken gnocchi soup which was filling and divine! I can’t comment too much on authenticity, but the combination of flavors made it delicious. " (*Curated Review*)

" There’s nothing like Italian comfort food, and Olive Garden captures that! I enjoyed the minestrone soup and paired it with their signature breadsticks. Both were top-notch as usual. The staff were always smiling and attentive, contributing to a warm dining experience. Plus, I love their seasonal offerings that keep bringing me back! Consistency is a big plus too.
