“The sauce!! Mmm.... ordered a gluten-free pie with garlic, spinach, feta, artichoke, & tomatoes & a meatball sub with added bell peppers and mushrooms. My wife loved the pizza. Said it was the BEST gf pizza she's had (have tried loads). The meatball sub was dang near perfect, though I'd prefer the meatballs cooked just a bit more and pan seared for a nice bit of crust. The balls were smashed, which evened the sub bites (no bites of just bread after getting a whole ball in one bite). Love the idea & and I will be doing it from now on at home as well. Wouldn't be surprised if they make the hoagies for the subs. Lovely buttery roll, though, did start falling apart towards the end. I enjoyed just as much with a fork, though again the meatballs may have been just a bit undercooked/mushy. We added just a bit of parm and loved everything. We complimented on the sauce and was told, "My mamma makes it every day!" Seriously loved this place and want to be back ASAP to try some traditional Italian fare. Definitely recommend!“

“Food comes with a huge plate!!Amazing!
My husband and I had a dinner date tonight. It's been a long time since we came to Olive Garden. I tried the new shrimp and steak fettuccine, it was so good! and my husband had the classic lasagna.
And, I had the Italian Rum cocktail, perfect! Well, it's my first time to have this drink. Highly recommended to try. And of course, my husband had the Apple sour Sangria.
Jose, our server was very attentive and with good attitude.

Good job Olive Garden for the good food and service.😋👍“

Their food was always on point and delicious. From their soups to sandwiches.

The place was clean and the staff were always friendly and welcoming.

It'a nice to see they are still in business and going strong.

If you are in the area be sure to drop by and give them a try.“

“This place is absolutely phenomenal!! Trent, the manager, makes this the place you want to be for any evening or weekend. To start, everyone who works there treats you like family! They are so kind and welcoming and treat you like a regular the second you walk in. On top of that they have 20+ TVs playing anything you want! If you are looking for a great sports bar and restaurant, Tony Pepperonis has you covered. They have super good food whether it be takeout, game day, or a huge party, and even better, the best beer selection in all of north county. This place gets 5 stars in my book.“
