Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Italian Restaurant $$ 4.3 (2643)


Olive Garden maintains a reputation for serving comforting Italian-American dishes that strike a chord with many customers. While some reviews indicate inconsistency in service, the overall experience is often heightened by the restaurant's warm atmosphere and availability of fresh salad and breadsticks, which are generally well-received. The authenticity of the Italian cuisine may be questioned given its Americanized flair, but it remains a popular choice for families and large gatherings.

" A wonderful spot for a date night! The atmosphere is romantic, and the staff is attentive without being intrusive. We began with the calamari, which was cooked perfectly. For mains, we both opted for the seafood special, and it did not disappoint! Portions were generous, and everything was seasoned well. I appreciated how quickly the staff checked in on us while we enjoyed our meal. I look forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Olive Garden last night, and let me tell you, the food was exceptional! The Chicken Parmigiana was tender and flavorful. I also appreciated the generous portions. The breadsticks? Amazing! We practically filled up on those before our entrees arrived! The place was busy, but the service was still prompt. I did notice our table wasn't cleaned thoroughly when we were seated, but that didn't deter my overall enjoyment of the meal. I will definitely return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Olive Garden for years, I finally decided to check it out. The ambiance was lovely, making it ideal for a family dinner. The breadsticks were warm and delicious, though the salad could have used a bit more dressing. For the main course, I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, which was tasty but not as creamy as I hoped. The service was friendly but somewhat slow. Overall, I left satisfied but not blown away. I'll give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Olive Garden for its reliability! The food is consistently good, and the prices are reasonable. I've come here numerous times for lunch with coworkers. The soup and salad combo is my favorite, especially when the breadsticks come free! They are a comfort food haven, and I would highly encourage friends and family to bring their kids too. The service can be slow during lunch hours but is generally friendly. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited last Saturday and were seated immediately, which was a pleasant surprise. Our waitress was attentive and made some great recommendations. I loved the Chicken Scampi! The shrimp were perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, and we each left with a to-go box. Despite a minor delay in service towards the end of our meal, I would recommend this Olive Garden for anyone craving Italian food. Solid experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely dinner at Olive Garden recently but faced a slight wait for my food—after a busy lunch service, I was not surprised. The Alfredo was creamy, but I felt it could have been flavored a bit more. The portion size was quite generous. The waitress was super sweet, and she checked in on us frequently, which I appreciate. I will likely be back to try more menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" Horrible experience during my last visit. The food took forever to arrive, and when it did, it was lukewarm at best. The staff was apologetic but stretched too thin. It is supposed to be a quick, casual dining experience, but it turned out to be lengthy and stressful. I left disappointed without even finishing my meal, and I don't think I’ll return to this location. " (*Curated Review*)
