" I went to Olive Garden last weekend and had a great time! I ordered the create-your-own pasta and was generous in my choices. The fettuccine was al dente, just like I like it, and my choice of pesto sauce was aromatic and rich! The staff was friendly, checking in frequently to make sure I was enjoying my dinner. It felt like I was in a cozy Italian restaurant. I definitely recommend it for anyone who loves customizable options! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience last night at Olive Garden! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a smile. I started with the stuffed mushrooms which were heavenly, then moved on to the Chicken Marsala. Each bite was simply delicious! The atmosphere had a classic Italian feel, and the background music made it even better. I’ll definitely be coming back regularly. This is the go-to spot for Italian comfort food in my book! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I have a love-hate relationship with Olive Garden. Sometimes my experiences are great, and other times they're just okay. I love their breadsticks, and I could easily eat a dozen! My last visit was alright; however, I felt the salads were a bit wilted. The service was friendly but a little slow, which isn't typical for them. Hopefully, my next trip will be better as I've had fantastic meals several times in the past. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went there for lunch and was impressed by how quickly our order arrived. The soup, salad, and breadsticks were delightful and a great deal! I tried the new chicken soup and loved it, especially the amount of veggies in it. The kids enjoyed their melted cheese ravioli, with Gianluca, our waiter, being extremely friendly, topping up our drinks without needing to ask. We left feeling satisfied and will surely return soon. Highly recommend for a quick bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love Olive Garden, but my last experience was disappointing. We waited a really long time for our food, and when it arrived, it wasn't hot, and I found a hair in my dish. The waiter managed to be polite, but our dinner was completely ruined by poor kitchen oversight. I won't be returning anytime soon, which is sad because I have fond memories of good food here. " (*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!
