Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Went here for dinner with a friend tonight. Sadly, the food was a huge disappointment. Salad & breadsticks were fine and the mozzarella sticks were good but that where it ends. We ordered the build your own pasta. I had fettacini pasta with meat sauce with broccoli on top. My friend had fettacini pasta with the 5 cheese sauce. The fettacini was gummy and stuck together. The broccoli was so overcooked, it was like mush. And the sauce was bland and tasteless. Like no seasoning at all. My friend's pasta was also gummy and stuck together and her sauce was bland as well. It was just yuck! We spoke to the manager and he said he could see how overcooked the broccoli was and knew the pasta was stuck together even before I said anything. He very kindly took the dishes off our bill. The manager Chris and our server Emily gave great service. We tipped Emily based on what we planned to spend and not on the reduced bill.
If they get the kitchen together, they could easily get 5 stars. But not today.

We had prompt service from a friendly server, food came out fast, and everything was good. Food is a bit on the pricy side but with the take home meals it makes it a good deal!

Waiter was overwhelmed and stressed. Terrible service. Manager under the impression that a take home salad would solve the problem. 🥺 Please, you can take home the salad! 😁

We ordered chicken Parmesan Piccolo. It is a smaller portion offering on the menu. It is definitely smaller. Not advisable for two people sharing. Delicious! But when cut in half, not enough. Plenty of salad met the need and we were able to make it home not starving 😃. Just be aware.

Our service person was the best! Made it an enjoyable evening. Lots of people! Still great service.

Bucatini doesn't drape like spaghetti, it slaps you in the face a bit when you twirl it. The chili flakes overpowers the basil.

My little ones had been talking about pasta for weeks, so we finally made a trip to our favorite spot. The kids’ menu has a “create your own pasta” option, which was perfect.

They recently updated their menu and added some lighter portion options, which come with unlimited soup or salad. I chose the ravioli, and my partner went with the chicken parmesan. The staff was kind enough to let him substitute the sauce since he can’t have tomatoes, which we really appreciated.

Even though the restaurant was busy, the staff was incredibly attentive and checked in on us throughout the meal. I love that it’s such a family-friendly place where everyone can feel comfortable. There’s truly something on the menu for all ages, and we all had a wonderful time.
