" I dragged my family to Olive Garden since it is their favorite place. We were met with a pleasant atmosphere, but the food was not as enjoyable. My kids liked the endless breadsticks but found their pasta bland. On the plus side, the service was quick! Perhaps they should experiment with their sauces a bit more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Olive Garden yesterday and was pretty disappointed. The pasta was overcooked and lacked flavor. Even though the restaurant was busy, I expected better from the service. It took forever to get our drinks, and despite my complaints, I didn't feel heard. It's a shame because I've had good experiences in the past. I might be looking for other Italian spots next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited with friends and while the experience was pleasant, the authenticity aspect felt off. The pasta tasted too Americanized. But the portions were generous, and the atmosphere was homey. Our server was attentive, coming by regularly to check if we needed anything. I still enjoyed my evening, just wish it had more Italian zest! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining here, but my experience fell short. I ordered the lasagna, but it arrived lukewarm and not fresh. My server was friendly but seemed overwhelmed with the number of tables she had. It wasn't what I had hoped for. Service and food need improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a corporate lunch here last week. The salad was fresh, and the portions were generous. I'm a huge fan of the breadsticks—they never disappoint! However, the service was a bit slow during peak lunch hour, which seemed to be the case across the board. I will likely return for future meetings. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Olive Garden was really nice and comfortable. I loved the wide selection of Italian dishes, but my fettuccine alfredo was a bit underwhelming. I expected a creamier sauce. The service, however, was exceptional, making the whole experience worthwhile. I would return, but likely focus on different dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful dining option! Our server was cheerful and the food was fresh and delicious. I had the manicotti which was very tasty; the portion was so generous, I had to take half home! I was impressed! Olive Garden is definitely on my list of places to revisit in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
