We had the never-ending soup, oh it was delicious. Everyone looked great. The smell of cheese as soon as walk through the front door. We had great time. Would love to come again. Absolutely.

ATTENTION YELPERS! I FOUND THE BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN SAN DIEGO!!!
Just Kidding...
Not Kidding...this gigantic national chain serving up unauthentic, sodium loaded and ultra processed Italian food isn't all that bad, and a great value! The unlimited soup and bread sticks is middle and lower class family's perfect dream, and my dream...I devoured 3 bowls of soup and 3 bread sticks before touching my entree!
$24.50 Tour of Italy...The Chicken Parmesan had a nice hot crispy breading engulfing the juicy tender white chicken breast. The lasagna was robust, flavorful, with great blend of sauce, cheese, and pasta. The fettuccine alfredo is exactly how you would imagine it. Great value overall considering the 3 bowls of soup I devoured.

They are trying, they really are.
More training for the staff, less mistakes with the orders would give a better score.

Recommended dishes: Famous House Salad, Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, Chicken Scampi
Always a great decision.
The Tour of Italy is my favorite meal to order with an endless bowl of soup of course. Their breadsticks are just the right size to not overly indulge on.
Service is always great and I never have to wait to long to dine in.
Been coming here for years.
Be sure to sign up for their rewards program.
You'll thank me later.
Remember to tip well.

I've eaten at this location twice and I must say this is in my top 5 of Olive Gardens I've eaten at. I wish I could remember my servers name but she excellent. Management if you see this she was a blonde hair in a bun that was working day shift on Aug 4, 2025..

Kelsey in the bar is amazing! My husband and I have had the joy of being served by her. Kelsey is so genuinely kind and it shows in her work. Olive Garden is lucky to have her . I would definitely recommend this location!

One of my favorite restaurants, chicken and shrimp carbonara, is delicious!
Recently (on July 2025), they added a new item on the menu, the Calabrian Steak and Shrimp Bucatini pasta, a little spicy but very tasty.
Don't forget to try a glass of Castello del Poggio Moscato. 😉

Honestly a really great Olive Garden! I don’t have a nut allergy but the table next to us did and I heard the chef come out himself and acknowledge the allergy and reassured them the kitchen would change gloves and make sure they were safe. I think that’s a really great policy
