Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

This Olive Garden is a surprisingly huge location, but we managed to get a nice, quiet table which made for a comfortable dinner. Service throughout the meal was good and attentive. The rest of our party seemed to enjoy their dishes, and the kids' pizza was okay for a simple option. I ordered the shrimp and beef bucatini, which had great-tasting shrimp, but the ratio was off, mostly heavy on the pasta with only a few small pieces of beef to be found. I didn't think it was worth it for the price. Overall, it's a decent spot for a casual family meal, though some dishes hit the mark better than others.

We haven't been here since pre covid.....it has gotten better. Our server Emma was exceptional I rarely give exceptional . She was very attentive and aware of our needs without us asking.nnI'm a picky eater and do not like dairy or cheese....our server separated our main dish into 2 plates for us so my wife could smother her plate with parmesan cheese . Emma was great from beginning to end nnThe bread sticks were a nice touch and the price doesnt break the wallet . My wife says their salad was one of the best she's had at restaurants. So fresh and tasty, she loves their dressing.nnI can see why Olive Garden is always busy. We were fortunate to come at 11:45am on a Sunday and get a seat right away

I haven't been to Olive Garden since I was a child, so it certainly felt nostalgic. We ordered the lunch endless soup and salad special and shared a gorgonzola alfredo with braised beef. I really wanted to go for an order of all 4 soups but was only able to finish 3 due to time. I know I have the potential to have all 4 in one sitting!nnQuality and taste of the soups were standard. The zuppa and chicken gnocchi did taste a bit watered down as I noticed there was almost no sausage and chicken but just gnocchi and potatoes, but it could also be because of the serving scoop.nnMy companion and I both agreed that we would have enjoyed the house salad a lot more had the dressing been less. The breadsticks were hot and fluffy, as expected. The pasta was well done, with a good strong blue cheese flavor. I did notice the beef was slightly dry and needed help from the blue cheese sauce.nnThe service was friendly, though it was a bit concerning to see the server touching the cheese directly with their nails to push it down into the grater. I understand they were in a hurry though and know that had we said something they probably would have been more careful.nnAppreciate the lovely lunch and hope that if we come back it would be a better experience

I really enjoyed the experience here. The food isn’t going to be the best pasta you’ve ever had, but that’s not why you come here. Bella was the nicest hostess. She was kind and informative and just set the nice family mood here. Hang on to her as much as you can Olive Garden. Thanks so much for your hospitality Bella.

Overall, my experience at Olive Garden was average. The portion sizes were generous, which was definitely a positive, and you get a good amount of food. However, the food quality was just okay. It wasn’t bad, but nothing particularly special or memorable compared to other Italian restaurants I’ve visited.nnThe biggest downside was the waiting time. We had to wait about an hour to be seated, which was quite frustrating. The service was acceptable, but far from perfect. I expected a bit more attention and better service considering how long we had already waited.nnOverall, Olive Garden is a reasonable option if you’re looking for generous portions, but I think there’s definitely room for improvement in both food quality and customer service. It wasn’t a terrible experience, but I wouldn’t say it was worth the long wait.
