" Olive Garden has become a favorite for our family dinners. The variety in the menu allows everyone to find something they love. The hardest part is picking just one dish! The Tour of Italy is my go-to and it never disappoints. The only downside is that sometimes the service can get a bit slow during peak hours. Still, the food quality and taste definitely make up for it. Honestly, there's nothing quite like their fresh salads and unlimited breadsticks! " (*Curated Review*)

" tried Olive Garden last weekend! What an amazing experience! The food was top-notch with huge portions. I ordered the Seafood Portofino and it was incredibly flavorful. The sauce was creamy, and the seafood was fresh. Every dish my friends ordered looked delicious too, from the lasagna to the ravioli. Our waitress was super attentive and friendly, bringing us refills on our drinks without us even having to ask! I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy good Italian cuisine in a relaxed setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night’s visit was less than ideal. We walked in and the host told us it would be a 45-minute wait, which we were okay with, but once seated, our server took an unusually long time to greet us. When she finally arrived, she seemed rushed and forgot several of our drink orders. The food was decent but not the best I’ve had here. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo, and it was pretty bland. I think I’ll stick to takeout from now on. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lovely dinner with friends last weekend! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I tried their New York-style cheesecake for dessert, and it was to die for! The service was wonderful; our server was approachable and made us feel at home. However, I must say, the pricing can get a little high if you indulge in too many extras. Overall, I enjoyed my meal but would suggest some moderation on additional items. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Olive Garden last night and it was a spectacular experience! The ambiance was cozy, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. We started with the classic breadsticks, warm and perfectly seasoned. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, which was rich and creamy, just like I like it. The portion was generous as well! My server was attentive without being intrusive, which made for a comfortable meal. Highly recommend for anyone craving good Italian! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to grab lunch from Olive Garden recently, and it was not what I hoped for. The food was mediocre; I got the Minestrone Soup, which was quite bland and could’ve used more spices. I also noticed the service was slower than usual. I appreciate the cleanliness of the restaurant, but the overall experience left me dissatisfied. I think I might try a different Italian spot next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was just okay. I had heard good things about Olive Garden, but my visit didn't quite meet my expectations. I found some of the food lacked the authentic flavor I was looking for. The lasagna tasted just ‘fine’ but not something I’d crave again. On the plus side, the atmosphere was nice, and the staff were friendly—just wish the food had a little more flavor!
