  Olive Garden - Olive Garden

Olive Garden

One of my favorite restaurants is the Olive Garden. Their Italian food is one of the best I have tasted. There is always an abundance of food on your table from breadsticks to soup to salad to a main entree. My favorite entree is their Ravioli de Portibello. I have tried many other entrees, but this is the one I keep coming back to time and time again. I recommend that anyone who likes Italian food try this restaurant and you will not be disappointed. view more

  Olive Garden - Good food, great service

Good food, great service

I recently went to Olive Garden again (my second time in my life) and I was impressed with the level of service. The food was good, but our waitress made sure that we were very well attended too. She was so good at refilling our salad and bread that we barely had any of our entrees! view more

  Olive Garden - Very dissapoined

Very dissapoined

Olive garden is a wonderful place to eat. I love their salad and breadsticks. However I am very dissapointed because my favorite thing on the menu was recently taken off. I went there just to order their Chicken con Broccoli but they told me that they no longer have that on thier menu. I was so upset. view more

Love this place! My husband does not care for it at all so I have to go with friends or family when I go, but I find a way to get away to go eat here about once a year. Would eat there more but don't have one in my town. view more

  Olive Garden - My favorite place

My favorite place

This is where I go for dinner dates and always for my birthday dinner every year. They have the best Italian food I've ever tasted around here and I love the specials that they run most of the year. Their breadsticks are also a favorite among me and my friend. They are seasoned just right to add some flavor without over powering the rest of your meal. I usually end up getting the Alfredo and it is great every time. The atmosphere is also great. While the tables are a little cramped at times, the wall decorations and color give an amazing feel to the place. view more

  Olive Garden - Gold Ole Olive Garden

Gold Ole Olive Garden

I really like eatting at Olive Garden. They have wonderful selection of food and the price is pretty good. The food is always very fresh and warm. The environment is pretty good sometimes you may not get the best server but most of the time you do. I have to say my favorite is the salad and breadsticks. The salad is always fresh and I love the dressing!! Keep up the good work Olive Garden. I also heard that they send their chefs to Italy to learn how to cook. view more

  Olive Garden - Great food- poor service

Great food- poor service

I recently went to the Olive Garden with some co-workers. There was a large group of us and while the waiter did not get our orders mixed up, we felt very hurried. Some ordered unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks, and weren't even asked if they wanted more! Our salad plates and the salad was taken away- hey maybe we wanted more! He joked about the 18% gratuity- that perhaps we would be really nice to him- NOT. Terrible service view more

Olive Garden

I LOVE Olive Garden and wish I could be there all the time. Sadly, we do not have one less than an hour away, but it is absolutely worth the drive. My favorite would obviously be the salad and breadsticks, but my favorite meal is the Tour of Italy. I also have to say, Olive Garden is the cleanest restaurant and has the freshest food. MAJOR recommendation!!! view more

  Olive Garden - My favorite restaurant

My favorite restaurant

The Olive Garden is my favorite restaurant! I absoutley love the salad and breadsticks. My favorite meal to order there is the Ravioli de Portebella (sp?) I would be so sad if they took it off the menu. There is not an Olive Garden in my town, but luckily there is one 30 minutes away. It's probably a good thing though or I would be there all the time! view more

  Olive Garden - When you're there, you're family!

When you're there, you're family!

I love The Olive Garden. I'm Italian and I'm a snob when it come to Italian food. I know if varies by region but our local Olive Garden does its job. They even have an olive branch next to their light varieties. When I was on Jenny Craig I went there with my family and looked for an olive branch and didn't feel deprived. I love the neverending salad and breadsticks. Their minestrone soup is one of the best ever. Everytime I'm there the manager passes by and ask if we are enjoying ourselves and the staff is always sweet and quick. I can have my food any way I want it. I love fettuccini alfredo subbed with sausage. I also prefer angel hair pasta with meat sauce. They never mind putting together something special. view more

olive garden recently put out a allergy menu! I love being able to go out to eat and be able to know exactly what I can and can not eat. They are generally nice to me as a allergy sufferer and are good about fixing things that work for me! view more

  Olive Garden - Decent food, high prices, bad service.

Decent food, high prices, bad service.

I enjoy a few dishes at Olive Garden quite a bit. I really like their Zuppa Tuscona soup and their soup/salad/breadsticks lunch is a good value for the most part. I say the most part because if you can get your server to bring you more soup, salad or breadsticks, you're getting a lot for your money. It seems however, that when ordering this item, servers assume they will be getting a crappy tip because it's not a pricey item and you basically get ignored once you have your food. This is common of just about any dining establishment of late, but I have had some really bad experiences at this particular chain. They seem to think that they are a 5-Star restaurant, not the "Italian" food chain that they are. view more

  Olive Garden - Unlimited Pasta Bowl

Unlimited Pasta Bowl

I have a good size family. It's difficult for all of our family members to afford to go out to dinner. But, when The Olive Garden offers it's unlimited Pasta Bowl we all drive over. The unlimited Pasta Bowl gives you unlimited soup or salad, your choice of pasta with any choice of sauce listed. It's $8.99 unless you decide you'd like to add some chicken or meatballs. That's extra. But, the pasta bowl will be refilled over and over until you cannot eat another bite! What a value!! Two people can't even eat at McDonald's for that!! view more

  Olive Garden - Not worth it for me....

Not worth it for me....

Sorry to disagree with the masses, but I can honestly say I will never return to the Olive Garden. I can not figure out why it is so popular! I went a few weeks ago as I had received a gift certificate for my Birthday. I went with my family and it was very busy. The hostess obviously hated her job and anyone that approached her. She grumbled that we wait and then angrily seated us in the middle of a very packed room. The waitress was very nice and sweet but we could tell she was frazzled. We each ordered off the VERY overpriced menu (cheapest thing on there is plain pasta in tomato sauce) and ate the salad while we waited. It was good but not great. The food came out and was so disappointing. Not only was it small in size but it was a bit bland. The soup was ok and actually had some flavor. The waitress must have forgotten about us as she disappeared so I could not get seconds on the soup. I think she realized and proceeded to offer a take out bowl of soup. So even after the gift cerificate and the tip, the bill was very high. We left feeling a bit cheated and very dissatisfied. I would much rather go somewhere less 'chain-like' with more quality and better prices. Needless to say we will not go back again!!! view more

  Olive Garden - Never Again

Never Again

We've been to Olive Garden twice in recent memory and both times we "enjoyed" only average food coupled with horrible service. The last visit was the last straw. Service was slow and our water was surly. First the drinks came out and were wrong so had to be returned. The appetizers were cold and the entrees were both missing a key ingredient. When you bill a dish and featuring Gorgonzola you would think that there would be some in the dish. We will never go back. view more

Favorite resteraunt

The Olive Garden is my favorite place to eat. The food is absolutely delicous and the atmosphere is terrific.The waiters are not bad to look at either. I always leave there stuffed. You get all the salad and breadsticks you can eat. They always have specials and you can get coupons out of the newspapers. Try it you will not be disapointed. view more

I went to an olive garden on sat and the waiter was promoting a red wine and ask if we like to sample it. We said yes but we didn't order a glass as my husband cant have any alcohol with his medications. So we placed our orders and he throw our straws and napkins on the table. guess he wasnt happy that we didnt order any drinks. So when we were done we ask for our checks he throw it on the table too. Defineltly will not go there again view more

  Olive Garden - Bad experience at OG

Bad experience at OG

At olive garden they have the new panini's. Kayla will be trying the Chicken Caprese panini and I will be trying out the new steak and portabello panini. After tasting both, I have to say the clear winner is the Chicken Caprese Panini. The Steak and Portobello is rather bland, but with some of the alfradeo from the bread it definitely makes the panini taste better. Not being a chicken lover, I found the Chicken Caprese to be very flavorful and the strong herb flavors really come out in this panini. The only thing that could make this one better is to put a bit more tomato sauce in it. Then Again I like my sandwiches messy. Today the restaurant said their air was broken, so with my sinuses you can imagine how fabulous of a time it was for me. Thank God for the Moscato. view more

my favorite place to eat!

OG has the most amazing food!!! My favorite is the fettuccine alfredo. Every meal comes with salad or soup and bread sticks. I always get the salad and ask for Parmesan peppercorn dressing. If you dont specify they give you the house dressing. If you are in the mood for an appetizer try the fried raviolis. They are so good! view more

I love their soup, salad and breadsticks lunch! The breadsticks are completely addictive as is the minestrone. Ok, and the salad dressing too. They actually sell bottles of the salad dressing which i occasionally buy. Now if they would sell the breadsticks... view more

  Olive Garden - Not Enough Bread

Not Enough Bread

I love Olive Garden for take out. My only disappointment is they only give two, yes that is right only 2, breadsticks per meal ordered when you get takeout. This to me is disappointing as I can usually get a dinner meal to last me 3 meals. Only having two breadsticks is silly so we always order a dozen and have to pay almost $5 for them which is very steep. view more

Loving this place!

Olive Garden is one of my new favorite places to eat. I used to get their take out but have since been eating in. Their portions are generous. Its always all you can eat bread sticks and salad, both of which are delicious! The Chicken Marsala is fantastic as is the Pastachetti! Try it! view more

I just don't get it

My (Italian) mother-in-law loves this place...and I just don't get it. This place is not real Italian food...and I don't know why she wants to go here all the time. It kinda drives me crazy. I tried it again, to give them another chance. The service was worse than the food. I just cannot go back. I can make better Italian food than this at home..and in NY and Boston- there are no shortage of real italian places. view more

Oh my gosh, the BREADSTICKS.

Not to bad, for a chain

I like the Olive Garden and always enjoy their salad and bread, however the last few times I have gone their I feel as though their prices have gone up, and I can go to a higher quality Italian resturant for the same amount of money. The draw of the Olive Garden for me was you could get a decent, quick Italian meal for not a lot of money. view more

  Olive Garden - I love italian from olive garden

I love italian from olive garden

Anytime I am craving italian, and dont feel like cooking, I go here. I always get the fresh breadsticks with a side carafe of alfredo dipping sauce, and love the tour of italy ! The ambience in the resteraunt is great with low playing italian serenades, sinatra, it sets the mood for a great meal. The waitstaff is always good, and the food is A+ when it comes to taste. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the fact that the dishes can be a little pricey depending on what you order. A family of four can usually dine there for around $50 (not including any alcholic beverages) . view more

  Olive Garden - Love Olive Garden

Love Olive Garden

My husband and I went to Olive Garden on our first Wedding Anniversary. And we just recently went back just a couple of days ago because we have been hooked since that first time over 5 years ago. The food is really great. I had the Chicken Scampi and my husband went old school with Spagetti and meatballs. Prices are a little expensive, but with such great service and great taste, you can expect to pay that much. And it's well worth it. I am not really sure who our server was, that's only because we started off with one server and had about 5 different people taking care of us. We didn't have to wait around for anything. They were really on top of their game. And our food literally came about less than 10 minutes after we ordered it. Now that is awesome considering that they had a full house. view more

No more Chicken Con Brocolli

I was just in my local Olive Garden this last Saturday, and I ordered the Garlic-Herb Chicken con Brocolli. I love this dish and it is one of my favorites. When the waiter brough out my dinner, he informed me that Sunday would be the last day they would serve this dish and it would be removed from their menu. I am very disappointed about this. Will it stop me from going to Olive Garden? No, it won't. I love their salad and breadsticks, and there are many other great dishes there. Please bring back the Chicken con Brocolli! view more

This is by far my favorite place to eat! I work for Darden Restaurants and get a great discount, which means I get to come here more! I know everyone loves Olive Garden for the salad and breadsticks, but my favorite is the Garlic-herb chicken and broccoli. It's made with orrechetti pasta, roasted chicken, broccoli and a garlic cream sauce to die for! Next time you're there definitely check this dish out!!! view more

Good but Pricey

Pretty pricey just for a plate of pasta. The atmosphere is nice and the waiters are courteous. I like that the chicken is moist throughout as opposed to just on the outside. Just the breadsticks and soup was enough to fill me up even before my entree arrived. view more
