" A mixed bag this time around. I was excited to enjoy my favorite dish at Olive Garden, the shrimp scampi, but it didn't taste as fresh as it usually does. The pasta felt a little overcooked and the shrimp could have used more seasoning. On the flip side, the waiter was friendly and the atmosphere was inviting. I think it might have been an off day for the kitchen, but I hope my next visit is better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive Garden continues to be a go-to spot for family dinners. I was there for a birthday celebration, and they handled the occasion beautifully. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I ordered a seafood risotto which I found to be rich and satisfying. Only downside was the wait for our desserts at the end of the meal, but overall it was a fun evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to dine at Olive Garden during a recent family trip and it was a decent experience. We ordered multiple appetizers, including the calamari and stuffed mushrooms, both of which got mixed reviews from our group. My main dish, the chicken Parmesan, was a bit below expectations; it was tasty but didn’t have that homemade touch. Overall, the ambience was lovely and our server kept our drinks full. It felt good to relax after a long day of travel. I may return for a quick meal but might try something else next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our latest visit was decent, but with some hiccups. We had good appetizers, but then I found the main dish lacking in flavor. My partner enjoyed the alfredo, but my lasagna was overcooked. Still, I appreciate the friendly staff who worked hard to rectify our experience. I would advise others to stick to the classic dishes though—they seem to do them best! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had mixed experiences with Olive Garden, and my latest visit was no exception. The staff was courteous yet overwhelmed during peak hours. My entrée tasted great but the fettuccine was less creamy than expected. The restaurant ambiance was lovely, making up for the minor food shortcomings. I will continue to give them another chance in the hopes of a perfect meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Olive Garden for a quick dinner before a movie. The experience was okay; the staff was friendly, but we had to wait longer than expected. I ordered the shrinking ravioli, and while it was decent, I feel there could be better Italian restaurants elsewhere. I appreciate the fast service initially, but the wait at the end took away from the experience. Not sure if I would rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely experience at Olive Garden the other day! Our server was very friendly and made excellent recommendations. I was amazed at how quickly our appetizers came. I had the eggplant parmigiana and it was done beautifully! The marinara was fresh and full of flavor, a dish I would highly recommend. Overall, a solid experience, as I will likely come back.
