Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

They have good food and service

I know it's just Olive Garden, but the one in Princeton/Lawrenceville, NJ is very good, with a special nod to our server John, who was polite, attentive without being intrusive, and helped make it a very positive experience.

Our server was absolutely amazing, he asked us if we wanted refills of things regularly and was very kind. The appetizers were absolutely delicious, we got the shrimp and the fried mozzarella. My entree was the tour of Italy, the chicken parmesan was a bit salty, the lasagna was alright, and the alfredo was sooo good.

Went for a girls night this past weekend. Our waiter was completely overwhelmed and had to be reminded many times about basic things like salad and breadsticks as well as plates for our appetizer. We had to ask another waitress for boxes and plates. This is the second time I have been here in a matter of a few months and both times have been extremely underwhelming

Believe it or not, it's better than I remember. The ambiance is a little sad as it's clearly a little neglected. But the food, is really good. I used to work at a real Italian restaurant with a grandmother from Sicily . I'm used to making fun of this place, but my wife and kids genuinely enjoyed it and asked to go back. Good job Olive garden! TBH it's too expensive for what you get, but my family likes it and I'll be back... Nonna is rolling over in her grave...

First visit to Olive Garden in NJ. Had a very pleasant experience in Estero, Florida.
The restaurant was cold and we requested a warmer seating. The salad and breadsticks and appetizer arrived timely, the main course was 40 minutes. People seated after us got their food order first. The Manager came over and I told him about the heat and waiting for the main course. The manager said he had problems with the heat 😳. My overall experience was poor( cold and late main course )The price was reasonable, but I will not go back.

The food was good, but the portions were smaller compared to other Olive Gardens.

The bathroom was so disgusting that I would not stay and have food served to me from a place where I wouldn't trust if hands were washed.

Every New Year’s Eve we come to an Olive Garden to celebrate but this one didn’t even come close to our expectations. Food was borderline terrible. Everyone ordered a different pasta dish and each one tasted like a low quality microwave meal. The salad and breadsticks were uniform though. I don’t recommend this location.

Dietary restrictions: All foods are highly caloric but what do you expect for an Olive Garden?

Kid-friendliness: They have a small children’s menu.

Normally have a good experience here. Last night ordered carside takeout for Christmas Eve. Ordered a catered ziti tray and a chicken parm dinner for myself. Only needed to put four things in the bag yet they forgot my side salad. Spaghetti for the parm had very little sauce. Had to make my own otherwise it would have been just mostly spaghetti noodles. Very disappointed with this order. I’m praying the ziti is good since my in-laws are coming for dinner. Next year I’ll make my own. (Ziti was disappointing too)
