" I've had mixed experiences at Olive Garden. On this occasion, the food was timely, though my chicken alfredo had minimal sauce. It felt like they were skimping on portions. The atmosphere was nice, and our server was friendly but a bit forgetful, asking us how everything was several times without following up on a drink refill. I appreciate the availability of unlimited salad and breadsticks, but the pricing seems higher for what you get at times. I might consider alternatives for my next eating out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a last-minute family dinner at Olive Garden and while everything was decent, I don’t think I would rush to go back soon. The food was tasty, but it felt a bit generic for Italian cuisine. Our server was pleasant, but we experienced a long wait, which made our experience drag a bit too much. Overall, it was fine but not something I would look forward to. " (*Curated Review*)

" Outstanding experience at Olive Garden! I’m usually not a big fan of chain restaurants, but this place knows how to deliver quality food. The Gnocchi Soup was delightful, and my main dish of Fettuccine Alfredo was rich and creamy! Best of all was our server who was super friendly and kept our drinks full. I left satisfied and will certainly return for more comfort food, especially the Never-Ending Pasta! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family tried Olive Garden last night, and it was an enjoyable outing. The waiter was fantastic, always checking in but not too intrusive. I ordered the chicken gnocchi soup which was creamy and hearty! The only downside was my main dish, a type of lasagna, was a bit dry. It felt a bit like it could have been made in a hurry. However, the salad was excellent, and I always love those endless breadsticks. Would recommend for a family night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food and wonderful service every time I visit Olive Garden! I appreciate how lovely the atmosphere is, making it feel special even for a casual dinner. I ordered the shrimp scampi and it was just perfect; not too garlicky and they made sure it was served hot. I highly recommend their classic salad as a starter, too. Only downside was I felt a little cramped near the entrance, but the food makes up for it. Overall fantastic. " (*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*)
