" After my family was raving about how good Olive Garden is, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Capellini Pomodoro, and although it wasn't the most memorable dish, it was decent for a casual night out. The atmosphere felt relaxing, and the service was quick and friendly. I would suggest going for their specials if you're after better deals on the menu. Overall, an okay experience; I may come back to try something else. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Olive Garden expecting to relive some delightful memories, but it was a disappointment. Although our waiter was nice and attentive, I found the food lacking. The Tour of Italy was bland, and the lasagna felt undercooked. I expressed my concerns to the manager, who handled it well, offering compensation. I appreciated the service but left wanting more from the food, especially authenticity-wise. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Olive Garden to celebrate my birthday and it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting. I ordered the Tour of Italy, which came with lasagna, chicken parmigiana, and fettuccine alfredo. Each dish was flavorful, and I particularly enjoyed the chicken. The service was prompt; however, my server seemed a bit rushed, but overall, I felt well taken care of. It's nice how there's the option for unlimited salad and breadsticks; they’re a hit with my family! I will definitely come back for future family outings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive Garden has always been a family favorite! I returned recently and enjoyed their famous Zuppa Toscana soup, which is always a hit. The breadsticks were soft and warm as usual! I ordered the cheese ravioli for my main dish, and while they didn’t skimp on portions, I felt like they could diversify their sauces more. The service was attentive, and I appreciated our server’s genuine recommendations. I’ll keep coming back for nostalgia! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited this Olive Garden on several occasions, and while it's always a safe bet for a casual meal, I sometimes feel that the food is lacking in authentic Italian flavors. The breadsticks and salad, of course, are wonderful, but my last visit left me wishing the fettuccine Alfredo had more sauce. It seemed dry, and I had to add extra to satisfy my taste buds. The service was good, though, and I appreciate that the staff is friendly and attentive. However, I think they need to address the consistency in cooking. " (*Curated Review*)

" When we arrived at Olive Garden, it was bustling but we were seated promptly. I had the Chicken Marsala, and while it was pretty good, it didn’t blow my mind away. The flavors were nice, but I think it could have used a touch more seasoning. The service was very attentive, and I appreciate it when servers notice details. Still, it lacked the 'homemade' feel that I tend to crave. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal, but not one I would specifically seek out again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve eaten at Olive Garden multiple times and have had varying experiences. Recently, I found their chicken marsala to be on point. I've had better, but it was still satisfying, especially with that warm breadstick to start! Attentive staff always help with drinks, adding to the experience. I think there’s a lot of potential, but they just need to keep focusing on consistency. I’ll give it a good rating this time. " (*Curated Review*)
