" Dining at Olive Garden was a pleasant surprise. My friends and I decided to head there for a casual night out. The service was attentive and friendly, and the ambiance felt very welcoming. The chicken and gnocchi soup was a standout for me. I had the spaghetti and meatballs for the main course, and while it was enjoyable, it didn’t quite hit the mark in terms of authenticity. Regardless, I left feeling satisfied and would recommend it for a fun night with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an average experience at Olive Garden recently. When we were seated, it took a while for anyone to come take our orders. Once we received our food, my pasta was a bit overcooked. The breadsticks were the highlight of the meal. I appreciate the family-friendly environment, but I do wish the staff would have been a little more attentive and respectful to our table. Sorry to say, but I don’t think I’ll be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were visiting from out of town and decided to stop at Olive Garden. I’m glad we did! The atmosphere was friendly and inviting. Our waiter was exceptional, making recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. The Chicken Alfredo was delicious; creamy and flavorful, but I did find the portion to be smaller than expected. The breadsticks were heavenly and I loved the unlimited salad feature. We will certainly return the next time we visit back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Olive Garden with my family, and while the staff was courteous, my food experience left much to be desired. The shrimp scampi tasted bland and lacked the garlic punch I was expecting. On the other hand, the salad was fresh and the breadsticks were a highlight. It was a decent meal overall, but I do feel they could do better to spice up their dishes. I would rate it a solid 3-star but only because of the complimentary salad. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Olive Garden was alright, but nothing to write home about. The service felt a bit slow, and though our server was nice, I had to ask multiple times for refills on my drinks. The food was decent, but I found it rather bland for my tastes. The salad was fresh, but my pasta didn’t have much flavor. While the atmosphere is always pleasant, I think I would try somewhere else next time, simply for the sake of variety. " (*Curated Review*)

" For special occasions, my family loves dining at Olive Garden because it's consistently good. The service is outstanding, often with managers checking in to ensure everything is to our liking. I especially enjoy the shrimp scampi; it's always cooked perfectly. On this particular visit, the dining area was clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall pleasant environment. However, there seems to be a dip in authenticity; it's more of an Americanized version of Italian cuisine, which appeals to us for comfort, but may not satisfy purists. Nevertheless, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" One of my favorite spots for family gatherings! Olive Garden never disappoints with its hospitality and delightful cuisine. I never miss getting the zuppa toscana as it’s the best soup! For the entrée, I tried the eggplant parmesan, and while tasty, I would've liked it more with an authentic Italian twist. The server was friendly and attentive to our needs throughout the meal. The only downside was the bathrooms could use a little more attention. Nonetheless, it remains a family favorite and I highly recommend it for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)
