marcello was a very nice server, checked on us very often and even brought us to go boxes and bag without us even asking him thank you marcello!

It’s rare for a restaurant to truly set itself apart from the competition, but this Olive Garden did exactly that and then some. From the moment we walked in, the ambience transported me far from suburban Denver and straight into what felt like a warm Italian vista, the kind my great-grandfather Lepolni would’ve proudly shown off.
Our server, Luke, was an absolute standout. He made us feel instantly at home, balancing professionalism with a friendly, welcoming energy that elevated the entire night. It felt less like we were being served and more like we were being hosted.
And let’s talk about the food — incredible. The gnocchi was perfectly tender, the breadsticks were dangerously addictive, and the stench wafting from the kitchen was honestly amazing in its own right. Not a bad smell no, no. I’m talking about that rich, savory, almost mythical cloud of garlic, butter, and simmering sauces that hits you like a warm hug from a distant Italian relative you didn’t know you had. It set the tone for the whole meal.
The entire experience was unexpectedly charming from the atmosphere to the service to the company. (And yes, the person I came with wasn’t too bad-looking either, lol.)
All in all, I’d give it a solid nine out of ten, with bonus points for nostalgia, comfort, and those deliciously overwhelming food aromas. Thank you, Olive Garden, for creating such a lovely night for my friends and me and thank you Luke K. for being the heart of the experience. I’ll definitely be back.

I mean wow
Where do I even start
From the nice hostess who greeted us on our way in to the handsome waiter who took care of me the hole night. Haha yes I’m talking about Luke K (hehe)
From the moment we sat in our seat it became clear that we were in for a special time. Although the family next to us has some rather rambunctious kids that didn’t ruin my fun LOL! I ordered the soup and salad with bread sticks and let me just say WOW I mean for 12.99 being able to try all those different fresh soups you really can’t beat that value. Now I’m pretty indecisive but after the cute waiter told me his favorite was the gnocchi I knew I was in for a special treat
All in all I would highly recommend this Olive Garden to anyone who is looking for an elevated culinary experience. 8/10

This Olive Garden was great. We sat at the bar for lunch and it was lovely. We were helped in a perfect amount of time. Our food took a little longer than usual, but everything came out at once. The food was well seasoned and better than I remembered. The atmosphere was great and overall a very enjoyable meal/experience.

On September 25th i took my grandma out to eat here after she was discharged from the hospital from having knee replacement surgery. What was meant to be a good day with good food turned out to be the worse day/experience of our life. We ordered our food and received our soup and salads. My grandma and I were enjoying the salad when she felt a crunch in her mouth and spit it out . There was a cricket in our food. My grandma immediately ran to the rest room on her leg she just had surgery on causing her stitches to rip open. She began to vomit. It was a very traumatic situation for us. Management was very rude to us. We will never be back.

Our waitress's service was fantastic. She was very friendly and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious.
The only issue was that the hostess gave us a dirty look at the entrance, and even though we were the only ones there, she took a long time to seat us.
