Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

This place has amazing customer service, and the staff are very professional. The prices are also quite affordable, especially since they include a free salad and a breadstick. That said, I found the spaghetti lacking in flavor and a bit tasteless, though the salad was quite good. I’m giving it 4 stars mainly because of the excellent customer service—otherwise, the taste doesn’t really suit me.

Danny was an awesome bartender and great experience all around. Food was stellar and drinks were just right. Thank you Danny for a great time!

It was a post funeral get together with family and friends, and they accommodated us all wonderfully. Got a separate room and had great service! Recommend this place to anyone!

Joe made our dining experience at Olive Garden truly exceptional! From the moment we were seated, he was warm, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. He knew the menu inside and out, gave great recommendations, and made sure every part of our meal was perfect.

What really stood out was his genuine kindness and the way he made us feel like valued guests. It’s rare to find someone who brings that level of care and energy to their work. Joe is a true professional and a credit to the Olive Garden team.

We’ll definitely be back—and we’ll be asking for Joe!

The Olive Garden on Sunrise Blvd. has a friendly and kind wait staff. My neighbor and I were seated promptly upon entering. It was a Monday evening around 530 pm. There was a large group/party in a side room, and others like ourselves starting to trickle in.
Our waitress Grace filled us in about Olive Garden's specials for the evening.
As good as they sounded, I love the Chicken Gnocchi Soup with the endless salad and bread sticks. My neighbor had the pasta dish on the front of their menu. Our food was served hot, and our salad was cold and crispy.
We had enough food to eat and leftovers to take home.
I find that the taste of Olive Garden food is consistently the same, regardless of the location or state it's served in. And that is comforting. ☺️

Our table had some crumbs on it when we sat down. My lasagna was a little on the oily side. Nick gave us great service. The pay machine on the table grabbed my visa card info when I laid it unexpectedly in front of it. I was surprised as I had a gift card to use. The staff was very helpful in wanting to refund the balance and correct it immediately.

Olive garden has definitely gone down hill! Picked up my order and I only live 3 blocks away..our food was cold not even warm! Very strange seeing I was early to pick it up! It didn't taste good at all.the salad was not as fresh as it normally is..maybe it's this location.. next time it will be a different location....not impressed at all

cons:
1.dirty cutlery with streaks and dried particles of something.
2. almost immediately took the menu. after which they came and asked what else we wanted and we had to remember what was on the menu.
3. there was an unpleasant smell. It would be good to think about better ventilation. pros: everything is quite tasty, they bring orders quickly, very polite employees.

Ordered Scampi with angel hair pasta. Found it very dry, lacking any flavor, very bland. Needs more garlic and sauce. Fixed it at home by adding olive oil, parmesan, and tons of gatmic.Slight salt and pepper.
Service by an Asian waitstaff was friendly and ourstanding. Atmosphere was great,and thed wonderfulchickenn gnocchi soup was hot and full of flavor. Breadsticks were warm, average. Kindly add more sauce and flavor to Scampi pasta dish. I'm not sure if all other pasta dishes are bland. I went there on Nov.11th, 2024, a holiday around 2 to 330pm. Bathroom was clean. Enjoy! Thank you.

Kid-friendliness: My friend's birthday that day, They gave us a complimentary piece of chocolate cake. Option to have a candle. She said no, to candle. The cake was great, rich and not too sweet.
