My salad wasn’t in my order. Yep before I was even home ❤️. I went back and she brought out to me with a giant smile 😊. Thanks for bringing us back to life with the best food 💯❤️“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Olive Garden, and I really want to make sure our server, Keristen, gets the recognition she deserves.

I genuinely adored having her as our server. She was warm, funny, personable, attentive, and incredibly enjoyable to interact with throughout the entire meal. She brought such a fun energy to the table without ever making it feel forced, and she struck that perfect balance between being engaging and still giving us space to enjoy ourselves.

Honestly, this was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had at this restaurant, and Keristen was a huge reason why.

There are servers who take your order and make sure everything arrives correctly, and then there are people who actually add something memorable to the experience. Keristen did that. She made us laugh, made us feel welcome, paid attention to what we needed, and helped turn an ordinary dinner into something that was genuinely fun. I would be absolutely thrilled to have her as our server again.

There was one part of the visit that stood in pretty sharp contrast. The manager, Angelina Piccolomini, is someone I knew from the past. During this visit, I attempted to speak with her twice, and both times I was ignored.

What made that especially noticeable is that this was not the first time I have had that experience with Angelina in this restaurant. On a previous visit, I also attempted to acknowledge or speak with her and was ignored. So, from my perspective, this was not an isolated interaction.

I don't want to speculate about her reasons or assign an intention that I cannot actually know. I can only describe what happened: I tried to speak to someone I knew, more than once and on more than one visit, and received no acknowledgment. I found that disappointing and uncomfortable.

I especially don't want that experience to overshadow the excellent service Keristen gave us, though. She was exceptional. She made the visit memorable for all the right reasons, and I sincerely hope management recognizes what an asset she is to the restaurant.

Keristen, if this ever makes its way back to you: thank you. We absolutely loved having you as our server, and you gave us one of the best experiences we have ever had at this Olive Garden.“

“Best pizza around! The meat madness pizza is phenomenal!!! Plus, great staff!!!!!!!!“

“Such a nice quiet hospitable place to dine in. Food was top tier!! I will be returning with friends!“

“Excellent food“

“Okay, I’ll start by saying I’m sorry I didn’t take pictures but the pizza was almost swallowed whole. I’ll update with pics next time. I wouldn’t call myself a connoisseur but I know a good pie from the dollar store cheese grease bombs. We just moved to Elizabeth and so far the pizza has been TERRIBLE I won’t drag anyone thru the mud bc that’s not me.

What I will do is tell you what is a good pizza. This is by far and above everything in the area. I drove 30 mins to try it. I got home and even reheated a few slices in the oven a little (my issue bc of the commute) and ate some right out of the box. My wife had the Great White, I had the Napoli, blows every other option out of the water.

Yes they have their kids sometimes, who cares. Yes the dining room didn’t appear to be open tonight, who cares. I would have cleaned their bathrooms and waited an hour for this pizza compared to my options closer to home. This is now our go to pizza spot for the remainder of our life in the area. A+++ keep up the good work screw the haters you gotta do what you gotta do and your pizza is EXCELLENT. Needed to add that ingredient quality is top notch, no skimping there.“

“So delicious. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. The food is amazing. I have lived in the valley for over 12 years and this was my first time eating here for Valentine’s Day with my husband. I cannot believe I waited this long. I will definitely be back !“
