“Went last night to celebrate birthday with a friend. Was surprised with live music, lovely and cozy place, we had excellent service. Food was fantastic, reminded me of being in Italy. Did not go wrong getting Ms. Mary's salad and Elfo's special. will return.“

“Great food and service ! My fav is the baked spaghetti and breadsticks ! Hot cheesy goodness with awesome meat sauce and the hot buttery breadsticks are hard to beat ! The prices are very reasonable , you can feed the whole family and not break the bank ! The employees are always helpful and friendly! The manager there Ms Lannom checks on her customers too and makes sure everything is good ! The restaurant is clean and the A/C is nice and cool ! lol We will be back soon !!“

“Every detail about this place was outstanding. Our waiter, Blaze, gave us excellent suggestions: we tried the Pinnelli pasta, lasagna, garlic knots, veggie pizza, Caesar salad, and tiramisu. Delicious food, excellent service, great atmosphere. I only wish we lived closer so we could eat here regularly. We will return the next time we are in the area.“

“Decided to try to eat here again. Everyone ignored us and would’ve left except bartender amy noticed and invited us to sit at bar. Don’t eat in dining room bc service is so slow. If you’re craving Olive Garden sit at the bar believe me“

“Love the pizza at this location. It doesn’t matter what time it is you can walk in and order whatever slice of pizza you want without having to order an entire pizza. They always have the toppings that I want and the pizza always tastes great! Wish this location was closer to us. They are very costumer oriented!!!“

“Absolutely love this place. Craved their garlic fries coming out of a root canal. Ready within 15 minutes. Girl at the counter was so sweet and gave me more of their ranch. Don't know what they put in these things but its fantastic. Please never change the garlic fries.“

“Our waitress Maddie was spectacular! Definitely made our anniversary night. We got the ricotta cheesecake that was beautiful and even said Happy Anniversary on it. Can’t wait to be back, thanks!“

“I will always love Amergo's... in world frequent this spot when i lived out east but now I'm downtown but when I make it out... it's one of my top 10 spots to make it to... Alfredo delish... my baby loved the calamari... lovely wine selection... 10 outta 10 everytime“

“Excellent customer service, delicious food and reasonable prices!!“

“Hear me out - I visited Olive Garden in Southaven about 5 years ago for the first time and concluded that it was overrated and not what I expected and very much bland and basic. Fast forward to now - I decided to give it another try and let me tell you THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! They changed my mind at this location for sure! Everyone was so kind, I was seated quickly and probably had the best server in the building. She was so attentive to my needs and checked in every few minutes. The building was packed with a work engagement happening so I figured the food would take a bit to come out… it did not! Food came out lighting fast! I had barely eaten my appetizer when my main dish was coming right out! Everything was hot and fresh. Like burn your mouth hot. It was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. I must say, my mind is changed and I now love Olive Garden. I feel like I have to come to this one every time now for this experience lol. 10 out of 10. Staff and cooks are on their stuff here.“

“We have been going here for years and the food and service was starting to decline over the last year. We went again last week and everything had improved tremendously. Apparently new members of the original family took it over and everything was really good again. The food was excellent as was the service. The atmosphere was much brighter as well. We are going again tonight.“

“I’ve picked food up and had it delivered, and everything was fantastic both times. I’ve already referred several friends and hope to join them there to dine-in soon. If you haven’t been yet, I encourage you to give them a try.“

“This is one of Memphis‘s finest restaurants, very, very very highly recommended“

“Love this place! Be prepared to wait for table, it is always busy. The Al Capone sandwich is my favorite“

“great food,really good drinks,“

“I ordered a grilled chicken salad, bbq nachos, and one of the sub combos All of the food was great and portion sizes are really good too. The salad is enough to eat off of for 1-2 days. The only thing I would complain about is the wait time was longer than I was told. I would return or recommend anyone to come here!“
