Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Well, I ordered food for take out like I’ve done for years now, and when I got home and we sat down to eat our dinners, we were both extremely upset by what we had discovered. The lasagna was not the same as it was every single time I’ve ordered it before. It had a totally different taste and ingredients it didn’t have before. The soup was different, and the meatballs were a tiny portion of what size they’d been for years. The spaghetti’ and meat sauce was terrible too. It’s almost as if they had some new chef who didn’t want to stick to the way things are supposed to be made. After paying nearly $120 bucks then to have not just one but all of our meals being terrible, well, it’ll be my last time getting anything from there.

We will not be returning! 1 hr wait on a slow night. Three staff members chatting up a storm by the register...and yet no service!! We waited for over an hr for our food. Had to get it to go. Pretty pathetic! Do better Redding Olive Garden!
We will not be returning. Do not waste your time or money. 1 star and that's with extra effort.

Went out to have dinner and waited over an hour to get our food. When the food arrived it was dried out and tired. To be fair they comped the entrees but it was a lackluster end to an hour wait. The salad was primarily iceburg with a single tomato slice and 2 olives. The bread sticks were OK but not great. My manicotti seemed like there was no ricotta in it. The server did her best and was very kind but we watched the manager come out and take back dishes from two other tables, it seems like the kitchen was having a bad night. All in all it helped me remember why I had not been in years.

Went to Olive Garden today. Very disappointed with the food. We ordered the 6oz sirloin, medium rare, with fettuccine. The steak might have been 3oz (I never would serve a steak like that to a guest at my house, it looked pathetic), that was so well done I could not eat it. The manager came by and I told him, but he just said "well, you know, steak can cook like that depending on size", what? I told him I wasn't able to eat the steak. He walked away. Fettuccine was like rubber with old sauce. The server said she would see about a credit for steak. She informed me that the manager said said since I ate the noodles, no credit. We left. Will not be back. The only reason for the one star was for the server.

Ordered a soup and salad meal to go. The soup was watery and there was only half a bowl when I got it home!

Server tried to give us attitude about endless soup/salad with the never ending pasta but the food was decent.

I cut over Redding from the coast so I could enjoy another amazing meal at the Olive Garden Italian Restaurant, and utilize the fast lane of hwy 5 on my way back to where the crazy socialists of the bay area spew their contempt for all that's great about the United States of America!
The Olive Garden Italian Restaurant sure is a wonderful place, as soon as you walk in you're welcomed like family, and the wonderful aromas coming from the kitchen are just as Amazing as the food! ☆☆☆☆☆
