" Had a great time at Olive Garden! The endless soup and salad are always the best way to start a meal. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. The main meals were decent, though I think they’re leaning a bit into catering to American tastes rather than staying true to traditional recipes. Still, it's a fun outing with family, and I always enjoy the large portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely dinner at Olive Garden last night! The atmosphere was cheerful, and my server was attentive without being intrusive. I had the Chicken Piccata, which was delightful, though I would say it does taste a bit Americanized. Overall, I left happy and will continue to eat here casually. " (*Curated Review*)

" Spent a lovely evening at Olive Garden with my friends. We ordered quite a variety of dishes to share, and while the portions were generous, the flavors were somewhat mediocre. I expected more authentic Italian taste. Service was very friendly but felt rushed at times due to the volume of customers. Overall, decent place if you're not too picky about authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I was disappointed with my recent visit to Olive Garden. The pasta was overcooked and lacked flavor. I ordered a wine that was recommended but it didn't pair well with my meal at all. The service was good, but when I mentioned my concerns to the manager, he seemed indifferent. The portions were generous, but I'd rather have smaller portions with better quality food. I’m not sure if I’ll return anytime soon unless they improve their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Olive Garden on a Saturday evening with my family and found the service to be lacking. Although the staff was friendly, it took a while for our orders to be taken and our food to arrive. The food itself was alright, but definitely not authentic. I appreciated the portion sizes, though, as we left feeling full. Overall, it was a decent experience but could improve on service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently revisited Olive Garden after a few years, and I must confess I was disappointed. The quality has diminished. The pasta tasted like it had been prepared in bulk and lacked that homemade touch. The service was still quick and friendly, though, which is appreciated. The portions are still generous, but I believe it has lost its charm. I may not return for quite some time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Olive Garden was mixed. While the service was friendly and quick, I felt the food was lacking in authenticity. The flavors of the dishes didn't remind me of traditional Italian cuisine. However, the unlimited soup and salad is a fantastic deal! I might consider returning if I’m looking for a casual meal without heavy expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
