We had a very good meal for our family as take out. The lasagna and spaghetti were absolutely delicious and had a substantial amount of sauce. Can't eat without the breadsticks and the salad. The dishes were secured and didn't spill at all getting them home. They had 3 covers on the dishes. We appreciated all you care for our meal - Great job!

I would like to share for my server specifically. I came in on a first date tonight but she made my night so great! Even going as far as put my to-go cake with ALL the fixing “so you don’t miss out on the full experience”. I forgot her name but she’s a sweet little blonde girl (had a black bow in her hair) also a girl with pink hair whom was just a bright good time to talk to! Made me feel great tonight! Great job choosing servers!💕

The staff felt a bit high strung. I hope they are being treated well. Food was great, waiter was great, and other than worrying about them I had a great time.

I forgot how satisfying an Olive Garden meal can be.

Also how nicely decorated and comfortable the spaces generally are.

My server Madi brought the whole experience to a new level. Seriously people like that is what makes a dining experience so great.

Honestly I hate to eat salad but I crave to go eat here soup and salad. It's totally cheaper than buying all the ingredients anyway and them going bad in the fridge. 100% love it

Kid-friendliness: My children like to get the chicken gnocchi soup, and the cheese pizza. Sometimes my 7 year old shares the egg plant parm with me

Room was cold, and the soup was thinner, not up to usual standards. Wait staff was super

It was a busy Friday, but our food delivery to our table was very slow. Food tast was okay, but not what I would say a high end Italian for the cost. I felt it was average. Desert I asked for cheese cake and got cake. We will not be back again on sure for a long time. We fell we get the same quality and taste at less expensive places.

Had a fabulous dinner with salad soup and chicken parmigiana with spaghetti covered in a marinara sauce and bread. The waitress was great and ensured we had a great experience.

Came in today the waitress never came for drink order, the Hostess brought our drinks. We asked 3 times from our waitress for straws and ice. She took our order and 55 minutes later I still hadn't gotten my food which was only lasagne!! The Manager came over brought us ice and we told her about my meal she took off my lasagne. It was about 5 minutes later my food came. By the time my food finally came out, my husband was finished with his meal. We also over heard our waitress ask the table beside us if they would be paying with cash or card, they hadn't even gotten their food yet!!! Alot of food was not offered like the take home meal, also the Tuscana soup they were out of. This is the worst experience ever at Olive Garden!
