Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Olive Garden, I love your breadsticks — but can we talk about the bar thing? For some reason, every time my husband and I walk in, they try to seat us in the bar. I may be a young-looking 60, but I’m not on a Tinder date or closing a business deal over martinis. This has happened twice now, and I politely declined the “party section” this time. It feels like the staff is under pressure to move people along quickly — appetizers, salad, and entrees all land on the table at the same time unless you speak up. Nothing says “welcome” like a carb avalanche. There was also a bit of chaos in the air: one couple got double orders, another party was crammed around a table clearly too small, and those half-tables along the window look cozy but feel more like a squeeze test. On the bright side, the food is still solid, and the recent makeover looks great — fresh, modern, and definitely an improvement. If they could just slow the pace and let diners breathe (and choose a normal table), Olive Garden would once again feel like the warm Italian escape it’s meant to be. Still worth a visit — just ask for a real table, pace your pasta, and remember: breadsticks make everything better. 🥖😉

Very disappointed. Bread tasted old, meals thrown together, just not a great experience

Disappointed Chicken Picatta removed from menu but Tour of Italy always rewarding. Lots of dishes close by, but our bar service was very pleasant.

We recently ate at OG and I ordered the Chicken Alfredo. When my dish was served I noted a weird smell which I assumed was just the Alfredo sauce. In any event, I ate about half the plate of food and had to convince myself that the chicken was just okay. It had a strange taste to it which was non-appetizing. I decided not to finish the meal thinking maybe it was just me. That evening I became very ill with typical food poisoning and was up all night with all the symptoms of food poisoning which I will not elaborate on this review. It took a good 48 hours before I recovered. I was going to call the restaurant to let them know but I wasn’t convinced it would make any difference, hence my honest review. In fairness to the restaurant, we’ve dined there many times in the past and, for the most part, we’ve been satisfied with our meals. This experience was quite different. I hope this review encourages the restaurant management to review their food inspection and handling on a daily basis.

My friend and I were seated immediately after arriving. Our server was at our table with no wait wanting our beverage order. We ordered from the luncheon menu. I ordered eggplant parmesan and my friend ordered shrimp scampi. The salad with never ending cheese and breadsticks were not delayed. Our entrees were steaming hot and served as we finished our salad. Can’t complain about a thing. I will return.

It always takes too long to get your order done 🥲
I got a lasagna dish, wasn't that good
My husband got a sea food dish he liked it

The service was horrible and the food was cold 🥶. People that came in after me ate and paid before I even got my food . The manager was nice . But I won't ever eat here again the food quality was very poor 😕

ALWAYS love a good lunch at reasonable prices. Olive Garden delivers for sure.

Their famous "Soup, Salad and Breadsticks" is always worth a trip if u fancy any of their soups.

We are always greeted when entering and every server we have had there does a great job.
