" I’ve been going to Olive Garden for years, and the quality seems to fluctuate. On my last visit, I got the Chicken Fettuccine and found it overly cheesy, almost inedible. The service was friendly, but we waited a long time for refills and our mains to arrive. I think I might need to take a break from this chain for a bit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my kids to Olive Garden, and I think it wasn't the best idea. The service was lackluster, and my kids didn’t like their food at all! The pasta was dry and bland. However, I did enjoy my meal, which was exceptionally delicious! The endless breadsticks were a hit as always. Still, I think they need to work on consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Olive Garden the other night! I tried the eggplant parmesan for the first time and absolutely loved it! The portion was generous, and it tasted fresh and flavorful. Our waiting time was minimal, and the service was prompt. The ambiance of the restaurant was relaxing and perfect for catching up with a friend. Will definitely visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" We went to Olive Garden on a whim and ended up having a delightful time! We were seated promptly and our server was friendly right from the start. I ordered the Five Cheese Ziti and it was deliciously cheesy, though very rich. The atmosphere was cozy and perfect for a family dinner – we were able to hear one another despite the restaurant being busy. The only downside was the price; I feel like it could be a bit lower for what you receive. But overall, I would certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to Olive Garden multiple times over the years and it’s always been hit or miss for me. Most recently, I was impressed by the service, but the food was a letdown. My Chicken Parmesan was overcooked and did not have that authentic Italian flavor I was craving. I was quite disappointed. On the other hand, my friends enjoyed their dishes and raved about the breadsticks, which were on point as usual. I guess it’s just a matter of luck! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Olive Garden exceeded all my expectations! I was welcomed warmly, and the service was impeccable. I ordered the Chicken Marsala, and it was one of the best meals I've had in recent memory. The recipe had authenticity and the flavors were balanced perfectly. The dessert, a creamy tiramisu, was the cherry on top. Pricing is a bit high, but you get what you pay for. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a really enjoyable meal at Olive Garden. We tried the new features on the menu, including the Lobster Ravioli and it was fabulous! The flavor was rich and decadent, and the portion sizes were perfect. Our waiter was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Great environment for group gatherings!
