" Wow! What an experience at Olive Garden last night! I went with friends to catch up over dinner, and it could not have been better. Our waiter was phenomenal! He was friendly, personable, and treated us like we were the only ones in the restaurant. We shared the calamari, which was crispy and perfectly seasoned. My main meal – the chicken carbonara – was delicious and plentiful. The staff genuinely seemed to care about our experience, checking in on us multiple times. Without a doubt, I will return to this Olive Garden! " (*Curated Review*)

" Olive Garden delivered! The dinner I had was fantastic! The ambiance is nice with a warm Italian feel that really makes you comfortable as you dine. The stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer were terrific and the lasagna was layered beautifully, albeit a bit cheesy for my taste. Service was pleasant and attentive without being overbearing. One of the standout points during the meal was the freshness of the salad. I appreciate it when a restaurant takes pride in its ingredients. I'll be back in the near future! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to try Olive Garden again after a few years away, and we were welcomed with open arms! It was a busy Friday night, but our wait was minimal. The staff was friendly and attentive. We ordered a variety of dishes from the endless pasta options to the classic breadsticks, and everything was fresh and tasted great. My kids enjoyed the create-your-own pasta experience. We even had some leftovers to take home, making it a great value. I would have liked to see more traditional dish options, but overall we had a lovely evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently visit Olive Garden, and it's a staple for my family every time we are in the mood for Italian food. The never-ending pasta bowl is a favorite! The service is usually exceptional, with staff who are always ready to refill drinks and breadsticks. Often, we are greeted by the manager, which adds a nice personal touch. However, I did find my dish slightly salty during my last visit, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I recommend this location if you like Italian-American food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Usually, I prefer to dine at locally-owned Italian restaurants, but Olive Garden has its charm. The food is decent, and the prices are reasonable. Last week, I ventured in for a quick lunch and ordered the five cheese ziti al forno. It was cheesy and comforting, reminiscent of what you might find in a homemade dish. The staff was friendly and provided prompt service. While it doesn't reflect true Italian cuisine, it does offer a good deal for what it is. I'll likely return for a casual meal.

" On our recent visit to Olive Garden, the experience was average at best. Our server seemed overwhelmed and was not as attentive as hoped. We enjoyed our meals, but I found my chicken Parmesan to be underwhelming. It felt more like a frozen meal than fresh fare. The ambiance was nice, but the service really made the evening less enjoyable. Although I still appreciate some classics, I wouldn't rush back till I hear improvements in the service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sometimes you just want a reliable meal, and Olive Garden provides that. I've had their pasta options many times and they're usually quite satisfying. The service is often friendly and accommodating. However, I have sometimes found the food to vary in quality depending on the shift. Last visit, the meal was great, but I've also had times where it felt a bit sluggish in flavor. Overall, I still find value in returning for their classic salad and unlimited breadsticks. " (*Curated Review*)
