Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Stopped for dinner on the way to a concert in the city. Called ahead and we were seated immediately upon arrival. The salad was fresh. Shrimp Carbonara was really good. Plenty of shrimp and roasted red peppers in this dish. My daughter and I shared the Italian donuts for dessert. So good! Warm sugar dusted with chocolate and berry sauce for dipping. Although I typically don’t favor chain restaurants, this is a go to for reasonably priced good comfort food.

Good deal for cheap filling food. Not authentic Italian by any means, but it's fine. This is a pretty well kept Olive Garden. Nice employees, although we did have to wait a while to get the waitress's attention. Got the minestrone soup, calamari, chicken Alfredo, shrimp scampi, Sicilian cheesecake, and zeppole with chocolate dipping sauce. Bread sticks where semi warm and salty. A bit hard, too. Calamari was not properly crispy and the sauces were mediocre. I've had better calamari at many other locations. I really enjoyed the minestrone, though. Lots of vegetables, beans, and even some noodles, too. It's unlimited savings if you order an entree. The soups are all quite salty so keep that in mind. My shrimp scampi was decent. Nothing outstanding but not bad. Had a fair amount of vegetables, too little garlic, but large shrimp. The chicken Alfredo portion was far larger than the shrimp scampi. It was quite plain, buttery, and the sauce was not well mixed. The chicken tasted like it came out of a frozen package. Don't know why people praise this dish. Finally, the desserts were the saving grace. I thoroughly enjoyed the Sicilian cheesecake with strawberries. It was a bit airy and had a whipped consistency. Not too sweet either. The zeppoles came in a large portion with a chocolate sauce. They were still warm, had lots of powdered sugar, and had a fantastic flavor+texture. Good portion too (8). Still, they are overpriced for fried dough. I've had their Tiramisu before, too, and it wasn't stellar but not bad. Most of the food here is forgettable.

The food was delicious, per usual. Sometimes I add my own flavor to it, to accommodate my liking. However, in the “notes” section-when ordering, I asked for something specific, and it was ignored by the kitchen/cook. Oh ok, that’s what we doin? Gotcha. Anyways, 3 stars for the service or lack of-otherwise good meal. I will return and I do recommend. Just-please, read the notes, it was really simple. K? Thanks.

Went with my boyfriend and had a blast. Our server was incredible very polite and timed everything out great with the sequence of our food ordering. We ordered the spinach dip for an app and it was tasty, a lot of artichoke chunks but creamy. Ordered a few Blue Moons drafts. The Chicken Alfredo is always my go to and my boyfriend got the shrimp and chicken scampi. We finished the night with a delicious chocolate mouse cake or whatever it was.

Most of my experience at olive fgarden is good normally. I would have nothing to complain about , but the last time I was there the waitress was rude she took forever to ask if we wanted refills on anything.She was more interested in the table behind us, I heard her asked them several times if they wanted refills while she walked past out table not asking a thing but could see we needed refills. She acted annoyed when we would get her attention for refills. I was not happy when we left olive garden that day never had such a rude waitress . She needs to treat all customers equally 😡😢
