Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

I bought a take-out appetizer Calamari here. It looks better than it tastes, cost= $14.77, not worth it. I would not recommend it. It wasn't fresh or cooked well, too salty, and the Calamari was either old or something was off. I had a stomach ache after, sorry Olive Garden. Also, I had better elsewhere, and it was so tiny. I have dine-in a few times in the past, but the pasta is overcooked mushy and sadly not a fan to return. The salad is okay, but they put over the top sauces that the greens drowning in it and it is average. The meal is overpriced for not tasty or freshly made. However, the staff were friendly. There are plenty of free parking spaces at this location. Also, the location is very crowded because it is near Montebello Mall.

If I could give it a zero I would and this is because first a little girl threw up on the floor in the walkway of many customers and the workers did NOT clean it up immediately and didn’t make it aware that there was throw up on the floor to the customers allowing them to step on it. Then, they gave me an inaccurate time as they told me 20-30 minutes for a table of 16, but we waited for 1 hour and 20 minutes just for one more table to be open and they continued to lie to others as well. This was not a good experience don’t go on a Wednesday if you plan on cancelling your table. Yes, overall a zero didn’t even get to eat, the workers were a little sassy too.

I had joined the waitlist online for a party of about 4 adults and 2 smaller kids. The portal online stated that the wait time was approximately 15 to 20 mins at 6:40pm. I walk in and checked in in-person, and the hostess said that there was only one party ahead of us. She said it should be about 15 mins. 25 mins later, I checked in with the hostess. They said that the table is dirty, and that they will get someone to clean it. I check in two more times, and still did not get a table. My family and I waited over an hour. I understand that they are busy, but the estimated wait time of 15 to 20 mins was completely useless. I will no longer patron at any place that did not take accountability of their poor training practices nor terrible customer service.

This location is always busy. I usually come here before 5 p m Because I hate waiting in line. Regardless if I get lucky or not, the food here never disappoints. Endless salad and breadsticks. Good meatball and shrimp appetizer is fantastic. The pasta plates large enough to always have leftovers at home and service is fast. My new favorite drink is the apple sangria, soooo good. It's made from Moscato and is nice take on the bitter normal sangria.

Parking: This location is in the Montebello mall lot.

Terrible service from the people who assign where to sit, and who is in front receiving you...
The waiter is something else, he was kind and attentive, that's just why we didn't go out to eat somewhere else, better go to another olive garden in another location 😡😡😡😡

It's not a fault of the restaurant but screaming little ones makes it difficult to enjoy a meal.

Food was fabulous as always, but the service was a bit slow, not very friendly. I believe when customers come, they should be greeted with a smile throughout the whole experience of dining in their restaurant. I eat here quite often, not this particular area, but the service is always outstanding and the food
