What People Are Saying About Olive Garden

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – Established in 1982, this chain gained a following for its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions. Patrons settle into comfortable booths and tables in dining rooms with plants, artwork and décor reminiscient of the villas in the Tuscan countryside. Starters include scampi, sausage or pepperoni pizza, and several soup choices, as well as a signature seafood dip (crab, shrimp, cheese and marinara). Entrees include classics like lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana. There are also "Garden Fare" options, which promise 30 percent fewer calories.

Editor's Tips

What to Drink:
What's spaghetti and meatballs without a glass of wine? You'll find vintages here from Italy, Australia, California and Washington.

a classic for the suburbs

When there isn't much to choose from, a trip to the Olive Garden usually hits the spot. The salad bowl & bread sticks combo is a classic and their eggplant parmesan is consistently decent. It's good for the kids to with the kids menu.

YUMMY FOOD ALL AROUND

by cubasianchica

Ive been coming to this Olive Garden forever. I love their food. I always get the same thing. I get the seafood alfredo and I ask them to add sun dried tomatoe (they are really good about custom orders) and the peach ice tea is to die for. They even put a real peach slice in it!!! Then as an appitizer we ALWAYS get the Mussels di Napoli....can we say OMG! Those mussels are unbelievable. OMG! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Its fantastic. The sause is also excellent for bread dipping. Wine is also awesome. Try the Lambrusco Riunite, its lovely. I dont recommend buying a bottle because they mark up the price big time. They charge you $15.00 a bottle and seriously you can get the same bottle for $3.00 at Ralphs. We found it there and get it all the time now. Nice seating area, quite and clean. Staff is super friendly as well. Very fast service and usually no waiting and kinda romantic.

  • Pros: Great food, great service, friendly staff, good price
  • Cons: besides that fact that they mark up a $3.00 bottle of wine to $15.00 no cons...

Rudest waiter ever!

by bnw310

I don't know what to say to a restaurant with a waiter that slams down glass of water and give customer dirty looks for asking for a glass of water.

I don't care how everything else is at a place, a place with waiters like that isn't a place worth ever going back to.

  • Cons: rude, rude, rude waiter
