" I wanted to love this restaurant, but my meal was nothing special. The marinara sauce didn't taste homemade, and it had a bit of a canned feel. Luckily, my server was attentive and helped redeem some of the experience. But overall, if you're looking for true Italian, keep searching. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were here to celebrate a birthday, and the staff went above and beyond. Our server even brought a dessert with a candle. The food was good, especially the alfredo, which everyone found tasty! The decor had cute Italian touches, too. I loved the experience, and we all left feeling very satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive Garden continues to impress with their service and food quality. I had the Tour of Italy, which was abundant and satisfying. The lasagna was a standout - rich and delicious! The endless salad was fresh, but I felt my bowl could have had more dressing. Overall, I left full and content and eagerly anticipate my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, Olive Garden is a good choice for Italian dining. The lasagna fritta was tasty, and the salad was great, but the service was a bit slow during peak hours. I felt the restaurant could use some more music to enhance the ambiance. Value-wise, you get what you pay for, though I did find some dishes a tad overpriced compared to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic dinner experience at Olive Garden! The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. The highlight of my meal was definitely the Chicken Alfredo, which was creamy and flavorful. The endless salad was fresh and crisp, and I couldn't resist the warm breadsticks! Overall, a delightful evening with excellent service. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit left me a little underwhelmed. While the salad and breadsticks were as fresh as always, my main course wasn't remarkable. The server was attentive but seemed rushed. It was a busy night. Despite my mixed feelings, I'm willing to give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" A family meal at Olive Garden was a hit! We appreciated how quickly we were seated and brought our drinks. The kids enjoyed their meals, especially the macaroni and cheese. As for me, I was delighted by the chicken gnocchi soup - warm and comforting. The atmosphere was vibrant, and everyone left happy. " (*Curated Review*)
