“This Olive Garden is nestled in the parking lot of the nearby mall. It’s got a small portion of parking right next to it that fills quickly, but you can easily park at the mall only a few steps away. We went on a Saturday night and had to wait about 20min with no reservation. For those who aren’t familiar, Olive Garden is a casual Italian restaurant chain.

The food was okay. Olive Garden isn’t fancy Italian. But the unlimited soup/salad/breadsticks makes their somewhat mid-tier entrees worth it. Surprisingly, the table had high quality Italian salt and pepper grinders, which were a nice touch.

Cooper was our server and he was so friendly, kind, and attentive. He served us plenty of breadsticks and offered to get us more soup and salad although we declined. Unfortunately before us was a party of 40, so our entrees took a while to come out. Cooper was very apologetic and offered us dessert on the house, which we also declined but very much so appreciated the offer. We were not busy and thus didn’t mind waiting, and Cooper made it all the more pleasant.

Although we were only stopping here on a road trip, I’d recommend anyone to come to this Olive Garden! The service was great and the food worth your money.“

“We love their calzones! The size is more than enough for two people and you can pick several toppings to fill it with! Their wings are really good and I love all their sauce choices! We did take out to feed our family last Sundays lunch and the same meal was highly requested for this Sunday also! They are also so friendly!“

“I had a couple of slices of pizza. Good recipe. Delicious crust and sauce. I think it would help your business during this time to set up a few tables with red umbrellas.“

“We save Livs for special dinners. Tonight (Wednesday August 6th, 2025) was no exception, Our server, Jose was amazing. Food was very generous (will eat for Friday night dinner).“

“Food was TITS! (Good) I will return.“

“1157 is the Best! Not only does the Chef, Andy prepare fabulous food, the wait staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and can help you make choices that will really suit your tastes. The Lobster Bisque I had for Valentines was Fabulous and Andy’s soups are always hearty and satisfying. This is truly a fine dinning or anytime treat in Elmira.“
