" This Olive Garden is definitely one of the better locations I have visited. The portions were plentiful and the food tasted authentic. I enjoyed the eggplant parmesan very much. The manager even walked by and ensured everything was okay, which I appreciated. The only downside was that the dessert I ordered took a bit longer to arrive, but the staff compensated with a complimentary dessert for that delay, which made up for it! Will return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" To be honest, I had high hopes for Olive Garden based on the buzz, but my experience fell flat. The lasagna was not at all flavorful and left me wanting more. The server was friendly but slow to get our drinks. On a better note, the breadsticks were fluffy and warm, a highlight of the meal. I wouldn't say I will rush back anytime soon as I expected much better quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed the meal! I ordered the combination platter, and it was a tasty mix of flavors. The portions are generous and great for sharing. I had a lovely time with friends sitting outside. The ambiance is very enjoyable, and while it was a busy evening, our server managed well. I will surely return as I've had a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience here. The food was good, but the service was lacking during our visit. It was difficult to get our server’s attention for drink refills. My lasagna was warm but not as flavorful as expected. The ambiance is nice, though—cozy and great for families. I might come back, but I hope for a better service experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was decent but didn’t live up to the hype for me. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and while it was cooked well, I felt it lacked that home-cooked authenticity I was looking for. Decent service but not very attentive. Still, the atmosphere was inviting, making it a reasonable place for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love the place! The atmosphere is always lively and family-friendly. The portions are very generous here, especially with their pasta dishes. I ordered the Tour of Italy—comes with a bit of everything—and it was fantastic! Service was fast, and our server was very helpful. Highly recommended, especially if you're with family or large groups! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here with family last week. The food was pretty good as usual; I had the gnocchi soup which I really enjoyed! It is always nice to get a refill on their unlimited breadsticks as well. The atmosphere is lively, and service was decent, although could be improved regarding waiting for drinks. Overall, I left satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)
