Olive Garden: A Solid Italian Option ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recently visited Olive Garden and while the food was good, it didn't quite reach the level of other Italian restaurants I've tried. I opted for a classic pasta dish, and while it was tasty and well-prepared, it lacked the "wow" factor I was hoping for.
However, the service truly stood out. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The atmosphere was also pleasant, creating a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience.
Overall, Olive Garden is a solid choice for a casual Italian meal. While the food may not be the most memorable, the service and atmosphere make it a worthwhile visit.

Tried something different this time had the seafood Alfredo and it was excellent. I wish I'd wrote don't the server's name she was amazing. Haven't had service like hers in a while. The manager stopped by to make sure we were enjoying our meal. It was a wonderful evening I will return to this location

What is there to say about the food except for " delicious "? The Tuscana soup was more liquid. Service was a bit slow.

Decided to treat myself after church and on the eve of Beryl, so I looked up nearest Olive Garden. This one was just around the corner!
Ms. Mia, hostess, greeted me at the door with a smile, asked for my seating preference. Since I was solo, I opted to dine at the bar.
Dropped off my sweater and asked the gentleman at the end of the bar to watch out for me. I'll be right back after washing my hands. (The women's WC was picobello!). He truly did watch for me!
When I came back, a menu and dinnerware was already placed. Ms. Erin, my server, came within a minute to greet me. She has such a beautiful smile!
First, I ordered a regular coffee to look at the menu. Of course, the ham that I am for shrimp and bacon, my eyes flew to the "new" Shrimp Carbonara, yum! With it comes either soup or salad. My choice: Creamy Gnocchi soup. To round it off, I ordered Tirimisu with an espresso shot.
The soup was creamy deliciousness, Gnocchi firm and done. With the breadsticks a meal of and by itself! And, oh, the shrimp carbonara, mouth-watering!!! The noodles al dente. Shrimp just right. Peppers and bacon adding extra flavor and texture.
The Tirimisu is a dream here!
What really impressed me, beside the food, was Ms. Erin herself. Constantly keeping her eyes open to the needs of her diners. She was also attentive and courteous to her co-workers! It was a pleasure just watching her in action! Keep it up, Ms. Erin!
To top it off, the gentleman I mentioned earlier, unbeknownst to me, picked up my tab! A great big "Thank you!
What a wonderful life!
