" I’ve visited this Olive Garden several times over the last couple of years, and while I always find the meals filling, the taste has fluctuated. The last time I went, the minestrone soup was delicious but the chicken carbonara was quite salty and not as creamy as I recall it being. Despite this, the server was fantastic and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our meal. It’s still a family spot for us, but I do wish the quality could be more consistent with the flavor profiles. " (*Curated Review*)

" I used a gift card to try out Olive Garden for the first time. Overall experience was enjoyable. Loved the unlimited breadsticks and tried the shrimp fettuccine. The pasta was cooked well, but the sauce needed more seasoning, which was a bit disappointing. There was a long wait, but the warm atmosphere and staff's friendliness made it easier to wait. I’ll probably visit again and give another dish a chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Olive Garden last weekend for a family dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the service. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and ensured our drinks were always full. The food, however, was a mixed bag. I had the lasagna, which was cheesy and hearty, but the carbonara my husband ordered left much to be desired. It lacked authentic Italian flavor and was quite bland. Overall, a nice evening, but I wish the food were more consistent in taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive Garden is my go-to for Italian cravings! The portions are generous, and I love their endless salad and breadsticks. I've been here several times and have found the staff quite friendly. However, the last few times I’ve noticed the quality of the food varies. The soup was delightful, but my entrée of chicken piccata lacked flavor. Regardless, it’s a great family dining experience, so I can’t complain too much. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an okay experience at Olive Garden. The wait was reasonable, but I was disappointed with my dish—a bland chicken parm. The breadsticks were fantastic, as always. Service was friendly and quick, which helped me forget the food wasn't up to par. I'd say it's a good place for family, but they need to step it up with the main courses. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at Olive Garden was a pleasant experience overall. I enjoyed their famous endless breadsticks, which were hot and served fresh. My wife had the chicken parmesan, while I had the seafood alfredo. Both dishes were generous in portion size but could use a bit more seasoning for that real homemade Italian taste. Our server was exceptional, very attentive and responsive. The atmosphere was cheerful, making it a good setting for a family night out. I’d liken my experience today to a friendly visit rather than a fine dining trip. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing birthday dinner here last Friday! The staff was incredibly friendly and made my night extra special. I ordered their famous fettuccine alfredo and it was delicious. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. We even asked for dessert, and the tiramisu was the perfect ending to a great meal! We will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
