" I visited Olive Garden for the first time with some friends, and we were all impressed! The ambiance was lively but comfortable. I opted for the Shrimp Scampi, and while it was tasty, I felt it could have had a bit more seasoning. Our server was friendly and made some excellent recommendations. Overall, it was a good experience but a little pricey for what we received. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came in for a casual dinner and the food did not disappoint. The pesto pasta was fresh and the breadsticks as always, were top-notch! Our server also suggested the tiramisu for dessert which was heavenly. Definitely a place I’ll revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I dined with my family and really enjoyed the range of options available. The pasta was decent, but I had some higher expectations based on what I've heard about Olive Garden. Nonetheless, I appreciate the generous portions and good service. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Olive Garden has consistently good food. I love their soup, salad, and breadsticks combo! Perfect for lunch or dinner, and I appreciate how the staff is always friendly. This is definitely a chain restaurant that knows how to deliver a quality dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a lovely dinner at Olive Garden for my birthday. The staff surprised me with a dessert on the house, which was a nice touch! My Shrimp Alfredo was delicious, although I felt the portion could have been bigger for the price. Overall, a memorable evening. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (1724)

" Disappointed with my last visit to Olive Garden. The pasta was average at best, and the service was lacking, particularly when we needed assistance. I think I'll try another local Italian restaurant next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Olive Garden was mixed. The food was decent but not as authentic as I expected. It felt more like American-Italian food than traditional dishes. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, but I'd prefer a more diverse menu. " (*Curated Review*)
