Review Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Albuquerque

We dined at this location for the first time, about 1800 on 12 Aug 2023. Our meals were a bit too cheesy (the melted cheese that came with them, not the added parmesan, obviously) and the helping of broccoli that came with mine was too much, but overall, the food was great and the service was fantastic. The parking lot is kind of a pain to maneuver if you're in a larger vehicle, just a head's up.

We really enjoyed our visit. The wait staff was especially good....friendly and well versed in the menu and specials. The potato/sausage soup had heartily chucks of both potatoes and sausage. Wonderful taste. The lasagna was moist and served with a wonderful tomato sauce and melted cheese. This is our go to lunch spot from now on.

Amazing customer service the drinks so good, the dessert oh my God was delightful 😋 and we only waited like 20min.

Well, I really should have stuck with one of my faves - instead I tried something new and I did not like it. Their new dish chicken marsela fettuccine. I just did not like the taste. Olive Garden is one of our family favorite restaurants! It's great! Please bring back steak gargonzola alfredo!

Lasagna was really good. Wife like the ravioli with cheese. Breadsticks were tough on the ends.

My wife and I had a great experience at Olive Garden. We went in on Veterans Day and were pleased to see that Olive garden had a special menu to give our veterans a free meal. We were told it would be a 50 minute wait and had a table in 20. Our server Bee was wonderful, she was very attentive and also went out of her way to check and see if there was any eggs in their spinach dip. (My 20 month old is severely allergic.) The food was fantastic, the salad and bread sticks were fresh, spinach dip appetizer came out hot and before the entrees. I got the tour of Italy and my wife had the seafood alfredo. Both entrees looked like it came right out of their kitchen straight to our table Great job Olive Garden we will be back.

Kind of same old same old, menu same atmosphere is the same. Food is same but good and service is top notch. Our waiter was quick to refill drinks and bring warm bread to our table. Having the managers walking and talking dose make a difference to our group’s and they donut well here.

The food was amazing, as were the drinks. Service was fast, very friendly, and worth every dollar. Overall environment was a comfortable and clean organized establishment. Highly recommend. Chicken Alfredo with broccoli was my choice for the night. Plenty to eat for a serving.

Only giving the atmosphere a 1 star because I promise, as a 27 year old gen z, who has just become a new mother, the older generation is hands down the reason why younger people do not feel welcome in these spaces. It seriously blows my mind how judgemental people born before 1980 can be. No wonder the world is plagued with so much trauma. That being said, with the rest of my 5 star review, I want to express my sincerest gratitude to Olive Garden and it's staff for making a new mother feel welcome to have a nice dinner with her sister on her last night in town. I will not mention my server's name, because I don't want any anti-breastfeeders to come and accost her, but she knows who she is. And I hope management gives her special recognition for what she did. Upon receiving requests from other guests (older guests) to ask me to stop feeding my child, even though I was feeding my 4 month old discreetly under a blanket. My waitress responded by getting me a refill of my tea (before I finished my first, she knew I needed the hydration) and kindly handed it to me before breaking the news to the anti-baby feeding table that she was informed by the manager that there was in fact nothing they could do to stop me from feeding my baby. My sister and I had to leave quickly anyway to grab other food requests on the way home, but my server made sure to offer me extra breadsticks, Alfredo dipping sauce and another refill AND a handful of Andie's mints on the way out. I hope they dont think I left because of the offended tables, we truly were just stopping in for a quick dinner so that I could get out of the house for once and my sister could enjoy her last night. I left her a 25% tip, even though I wish I could have given her more, just for making me feel like I was welcome and wanted. And I hope the table who complained about me treated her just as well for making her seriously go through the trouble of asking if she could stop a mother from feeding her child. I have been told by every one of my elders to never feel bad for feeding my baby (my family doesnt not originate from America and breastfeeding is really only tabboo in this lala land). Breastfeeding is a privilege and I understand how much of a blessing it is to be able to feed my child this way, because not every woman gets to do so. So for the women who do breastfeed and the women who are unable, I choose to embrace it fully because to I don't want to take advantage of the opportunity to help my child's immune system in a world that seems to keep generating new viruses. Maybe the younger generations wouldn't feel so apprehensive about having children if people would quit hating mothers and children so much. (Cough cough, I'm referring to you, gen X and above). Seriously, it's sad. Even when you do the respectful thing and cover up to feed your child, people are still so childish and see the female anatomy as an object to crucify instead of just minding their own business. For some reason people all of a sudden want to use their imagination on what's happening underneath a blanket. Shout out to Olive Garden in Albuquerque. You guys are the future. Thank you for making the restaurant a safe place for me and my family. I was able to feel like a somewhat normal person for one night. Also the food was fantastic!!

We came two hours of closing and was really satisfied with our experience. Our server Bea was really nice and helped us plentiful times. She was really fast with our things and was a really good server bringing our drinks and takeout boxes and kept the drinks coming out. The food was pretty good as well and delicious.

We were there Sunday. There was some mix up with the hostess and our server, so we waited a bit to be noticed. However, our server Cameron made sure to take the best care. Very very on the ball and his customer service is top notice..highly recommend him.

As always, the food was great. The service was good as well. However, my 3 stars are only because the server talked too quickly and was low in tone, so it was difficult for myself and my elderly parents to hear and understand him. He had to repeat what he said every time he checked on us or brought us something. Additionally, there was a table of 7 that arrived after us, and the attention to other tables was not as good as the attention he gave this table.

It has been a while since I've eaten here and must admit it was rather tasty. Kept it simple with Spaghetti and meatballs. Wife had the Chicken Fettuccine. Both properly prepared.

This Olive Garden is just fine. They are always extremely busy. The good news is they have a lot of Staff working at all times so there is nary a time I've had to wait for a table. I also hardly ever have to wait long for food to be ordered or served. The Staff is friendly and courteous. The restaurant is clean and the bathrooms are fairly clean. This location does not have good flow. Everything is very tight; it seems they are trying to cram as many people into as much of the space as possible. It's good if you want people seated, but if you try to move around (i.e. leave seating to go to restroom) there are tight spaces and lots of movement with wait staff. Also, just not a lot of room to spread out even on larger tables. The food is fine and pretty tasty. They did not have certain appetizers during peak lunch hours for some reason and frankly that is why I took a star off. Not world-ending, but still disappointing. I recommend for casual dining.

If I could get a shout out to our server Shambrae M. She was absolutely amazing! She took care of us like family and was totally awesome. I highly recommend her!

Friendly staff. I always like to stop by Olive Garden for couple bowls of soup. Always yummy.

Thank you Olive garden.. I really enjoyed my complimentary veterans Day meal.
