Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I have been here 3 or 4 times and have always received great service...the only reason why I come is for the zuppa tuscana soup and breadsticks so I can not comment on the rest of the food. They seem to have a lot of new items on the menu, including some yummy looking desserts.

I was here on Saturday the 30th of March & although I have always been a big fan of OG that quickly changed. When a waiter, dropped a tray filled with plates on my 3 year-old son's head! OG, was quick into action by providing free meal, $100 gift card and even throwing in free dessert. Another, waiter even cracked a joke saying "Surprise"- not funny considering there was broken glass all over our table, on our un-eaten food. And, the fact my 3 year old just got hit a set of plates and a tray. . Nonetheless, I forgive OG and the waiter who did it, and thankfully my son is alive and just has a few bumps on the head. Still, I'd really like for OG to be more careful - I know how it is to wait tables, and try and hurry up. But, safety is a big concern.

We eat here all the time, the waiters are great except for the guy waiter who nearly ran us over to get to the park next to the door in his piece of junk car!!! We were heading there he cut us off and took the spot!! So glad he was not our waiter! He ran in like he was late! Me having arthritis in ankles parked way out and did not run! Enough of that went there Thursday to have lunch tried the new chicken calzone, all I can say is unedible, hard as a brick, a little burnt on bottom, worse crust ever!!! But two stars for great waitress, and great salad !

I picked up dinner here a few nights ago. The dinner was for a friend, so I'm not going to talk about the food, as I didn't eat it. I arrived at 6:00 to pick up the order. The place was packed and there were at least 10 people waiting to be seated. I checked in with the hostess who said that the to-go person would be with me soon, which ended up taking about 5 minutes. Once she went to get my order it took another 10-12 minutes. I realize that they were busy but waiting 15 minutes for a to-go order that had been placed 3 hours before seemed a bit much. I don't go to this Olive Garden very often and I'll probably go again at some point; however, I will try to avoid the rush hour. I didn't think that 6:00 on a Thursday would be that busy.

Went for a nice Sunday afternoon Lunch. As always the food was fantastic, the wait staff above par, my problem is with the parents that bring the kids along who don't keep them acting respectful of all the patrons who are paying good money for the dining experience, we thought we had stepped into a kindercare during playtime, the noise of screaming kids was simply outrageous, with parents doing little or nothing to quiet the unruly kids up. My suggestion to those parents who lack number one, parenting skills, and number two, and regard for the respect others around you deserve when dining at a restaurant, you can let your kids do that at home, that is your choice, but bring them to dine with others who just want a good meal with a peaceful quiet environment they better have their best behaviour pants on. It's plain RUDE not to demand that of YOUR kids! You know they also have take out, how about using that next time....
(3)Jonathan P.
Great Olive Garden. The service was great and the atmosphere is perfect. The waiters and waitresses do a good job of taking care of the customers. My preferred Olive Garden in town.
(4)Carlos Z.
Good place for dinner/lunch. Service is great!
(4)Michele C.
It was ultimate yum!! Always enjoyable and huge portions! Good for leftovers!
(4)Ricky C.
We visit this location often and the food continues to be exactly what one would expect from the Olive Garden. The downside is the location in the only far west location and therefore it is often a pretty busy place.

I came here for lunch on Mother's Day, bad mistake, very bad mistake. The wait was 30 minutes so I can only imagine what the wait would be for dinner. My favorite part of Olive Garden are the bread sticks and they did not disappoint as they were hot and ready on our table. My friend ordered stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. I tried them and they were delicious! Next time I go I'm going to make sure I get my own order. I would recommend anyone to give them a try at least once especially if you like mushrooms. Service was of course hectic. It took at least 15 minutes for our waiter to get our drinks. Then another 10 minutes for her to bring our straws. It was about the same amount of time to get our checks and our cards back. I was going to order dessert but I decided to skip out in risk of being delayed in Mother's Day Mayhem. I ordered Chicken Alfredo and chose to have a salad instead of the soup. I'm always a fan of Olive Garden's salad but this time it was lackluster. The pasta was a little on the bland side but I'm very picky about my pasta and there honestly isn't a lot of places that can get it right. Regardless of the mayhem I still expect for the quality of the food to not deteriorate.
(3)Jake V.
We visit this olive garden about once a week because my kids love it. I like it because they have allergy friendly dishes for my kids. (But you have to ask what is in certain dishes). I also love the soups here. Overall good.
(3)Michelle S.
Food was great and service was absolutely awesome! Best ever! Thanks Lauren!

This place is in the middle of nowhere. I only say this because I live in N. Phx and my niece wanted to come here for her 18th birthday. Since she lives close by so its nothing for her, but I swear I am going to make her mom give me gas money lol. I will say that the everything went pretty well. We had a super large party of about 35 people and we did have a reservation so score one for them! I can't even be upset with them for taking forever to bring our checks since they decided to split it up instead of giving one big check and making us work it out amongst ourselves. It did take longer than the average due to this but I will give them credit for doing a stand up job with taking orders and getting them out in a timely fashion. Although some checks were wrong, everyone was very patient (some more than others but I digress) I highly doubt that I will ever be back to this location again due to the distance but I do give them two thumbs up for service.
(3)Kate R.
Maybe it's because I lived in Hawaii for so many years and was deprived of all the Olive Garden goodness there is, or maybe it's just because I love me some Italian-esque food -- but I'm a big fan of the Olive Garden. Each time I've visited this location, I've had excellent service, was served quickly, and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Wine sample? Don't mind if I do. Buy-one-entree-for-dinner-and-get-another-one-for-Âlunch-tomorrow? Yes, please. And don't even get me started on their soup, salad, and breadsticks - YUM YUM in my tum. If you haven't visited an Olive Garden, stop reading right now, get up, and go get yourself some delicious eats. The end.
(4)Bianca N.
Olive Garden has decent food...the bread sticks and salad are always a favorite. We ordered the Alfredo pizza...but when the waiter brought out the food it was the Alfredo pasta, easy mix up. However, the manager came over and apologize for the confusion and offered a free appetizer, which was nice. Overall, the food was good and the service was pleasant.
(4)D T.
Waited 2 hours to be seated. They don't take call aheads or reservations. Food was cold. Dinner was over 150. Service okay. Waited too long to be seated.
(1)Arlene P.
Olive Gardens are usually pretty nice across the board and this one was no exception. The inside layout isn't quite as cozy and quaint as the one we've enjoyed in Flagstaff, with it's nooks and crannies (this place had more of an open floor plan, detracting a bit from the cozy feeling) but still made for an enjoyable evening out. The food was delicious (I had no idea lasagna could be eaten fried! Had to try that one!!) and our waitress was delightful. I only left off the last star because we had to wait a good 15 minutes for our check and I'm pretty particular that when I'm ready to leave, I want to leave. Having to sit around waiting detracts a bit for me.
(4)Jacob S.
I've eaten here tons of times and the service is always great. They're very accommodating as well. The food is always good (as good as a chain restaurant can be). Never had a bad experience here!
(4)P A.
I heart OG, what can I say. The food is not 5 star but they are pretty consistent in all their locations. Good luck getting a table at this location though on a Friday night. We usually just head over to the bar area and either eat at the counter or grab one of the tables in that area. We'ver never had to wait more than 5 minutes going that route.
(4)Keri V.
My husband, daughter and I just came from the Goodyear location. Was asked if we wanted more bread, which we didn't get. Also, no refills were offered on tea. I noticed our server was stretched thin so I thought "no biggie". However, my main complaint is based on what I witnessed. We were in a booth within a couple of feet of the wine station. I know a little bit about wine...tend to try and enjoy a wide variety so I am well informed. A server for another table poured 2 half glasses of the standard merlot Robert Mondovi. then took 2 more glasses and poured just a quarter in each of Cavit merlot. Im studying her trying to figure out what she was doing. Then, taking me by surprise, the Cavit wine was poured into the Robert Mondovi glasses, making them full servable portions and then they went to the awaiting patrons. Im beside myself. I now question every and any establishment I have ever dined. I am for sure not choosing this particular location again.
(2)Hank W.
My wife and I stopped late one Saturday for a few appetizers and a nite cap. Very friendly staff and really enjoyed the food. It will not be the last time we stop by!!!
(5)Mike D.
Since I was just a little boy munching on soup, salad, and breadsticks, I was never really a fan of Olive Garden... so my 4-star review should say a lot! The menu is much improved over the last time I ventured here. I was with a fairly large group and all seemed to enjoy their dishes very much! The Zuppa Tuscana and Pasta Fagioli (sp?) were both big hits with the crowd. The calzone was smaller than what we were expecting, but the chicken parm panini was plenty big and plenty delicious! Even the salads are much better than what I remembered. I still can't say that I will plan my next Olive Garden outing anytime soon... but I thoroughly enjoyed my meal!
(4)Jason M.
The Breadsticks and salad are consistently good. The entrees are subpar in my opinion. Its commercial grade fake italian food and I get that, although, I feel like they are falling short of even doing that well. This olive garden was better a year ago when i went there than it was tonight.
(3)Rose S.
I was so disappointed with the food. We order soup and salad, which was my favorite and my mothers favorite too. My mom had a stick in her salad! She said she thought she bit into something hard but thought it was a croutons but it was a piece of stick. I was so disappointed because this place was my favorite place to eat , now I don't think so. We did get our meal for free but that's wasn't enough to make everything better. I just wish we had a great lunch.
(1)No W.
We love Olive Garden. We have gone to the Olive Garden in Rochester, MN and Kansas City, and Chandler, AZ, but the one in Goodyear is not the same. It is like a training ground for average cooks. Everything is a bit off. The salad was not up to snuff tonight. Tired tomatoes were 2 pieces in the whole salad with a ton of croutons. The gravy on the Chicken Marsala was runny and weak. The Zuppa Tuscana was interesting. Big chunks of meat in it that had not been broken down prior to being added to the pot. This Olive Garden needs a new chef and new management. They continue to be busy, but they are not a very good store in Goodyear. Go elsewhere and get happy. Wait staff is great! Food was sub par, but eatable.
(2)Jesse P.
Awesome experience Best service ever Food was Delicious can't say enough about this location
(4)Ana B.
My kids love love to come here. They always have great service. My best dish is the soup and salad and the kids love the ravioli with a side o broccoli. We go here at least once a month for a family treat
(5)Kimberly D.
To-go orders are slow as molasses! I called a simple order in of two salads and two Zuppa Toscana soups. I was told they would be ready by 7pm. Got to the restaurant at 7, told them I had called in my order, and walked out of the restaurant with my food...29 minutes later. There were three people in front of me, with the third person ordering a large amount of food on site. They all received their food before me. Not to mention, by the time I finally received my food...they brought me the wrong order. That will be the last time I'm doing that...and it was only a Thursday night. Disappointing. So much for "to-go" service...
(3)Judy L.
I have not been back to this Olive Garden since last review (1 year). We had a family dinner there with 9 of us. We called ahead for reservations and they got us in for 6:15pm. OK, I will try this Olive Garden again... The service was good. The food actually was ok this time. I was surprised. I got the chicken and gnocchi soup, there was only 1 dumpling. Really? The flavors were good, but 1 dumpling? I asked for a 2nd bowl and wow, tons of dumplings. It guess it is a hit or miss kind of thing. I got the Alfredo chicken, it was actually not bad.
(3)Edward D.
I'm not a huge fan of OG! Just your typical franchise restaurant. But the wife, daughter, and myself had a great experience at this location. Food was very good, I had the stuffed chicken Marsala. Seen it on TV, and wanted to try it. Glad I did! Chicken was very moist, stuffed with dried tomato's, Wife enjoyed their ravioli's with meat sauce, daughter had no problem with the Alfredo! Our server was Wolfgang, really nice guy! Always came by and checked on us, always made sure everything was fine. Place has a very good server there! This OG location, is probably the best experience we have had with Olive Garden.
(4)Joe S.
Terrible service, Don't even try ordering ToGo. that is, unless you want to wait for 20 min when you arrive to pick it up. I even showed up 5 min late from there timeframe that they had me for my food to be ready. pretty ridiculous! I won't be going back. Food was cold and soggy when I received it. If I could rate zero stars I would have! If youre reading this review and contemplating coming here...dont! Never Come to this olive Garden!
(1)Zach L.
Phenomenal service. Server Brian was extremely polite, attentive and helpful. Good was great, there was just so much! Would definitely recommend to someone looking to have a quick dinner but something nicer than fast food
(5)Luciana L.
If you like OG, you'll like this one. Good service to boot.
(3)Stacey H.
We've been here 3 or 4 times and the service is generally a bit above average but never amazing. Food is always good. I most often just get salad and bread sticks if we're in for lunch but if we're in for dinner I'll get the fettuccine alfredo or the portabello ravioli, the ravioli is my favorite I absolutely love it. My mom had the muscles which are on the featured items menu and she said they were amazing. My husband had the featured cheese ravioli with carbonara sauce and chicken...said it was amazing! Overall I'd say this is one of the few consistently good places on the west side. I do wish they had a vegetarian soup option, I loved the soups when I ate meat and it would be great to enjoy them again.
(4)Catrina L.
Went there last night got food poisoning from their chicken Marsala. Had to go to the ER cause I got so sick!! They ran test and it was confirmed it was from the food! So I called in and their shitty manager just says sorry no one else called wish u luck! Are you FN kidding! I paid for shitty service got sick and an ER visit cause you don't know how to prep food!! I wish I didn't have to give u one star and the manager needs to get fired!!
(1)Jonathan J.
Came here the other night for their buy one take one. The food was amazing and the service was great and to top it all off we were able to get a complimentary glass of wine that was being offered.
(5)Jeff I.
I had dinner there last night with a friend. I had the Garlic Rosemary Chicken and my friend had the Chicken Scampi. My chicken was very over cooked to the point of being very dry and tough but still edible. My friend said that his chicken was burned. I was also unaware that there was bread on the table. The bread was hidden behind a wine list or some other written material that was sitting vertically on the table.
(2)Tim N.
My girlfriend and I dined at this location last night and she got food poisoning. She was sick and miserable all night. Definitely the last time I will be eating here.
(1)Brian B.
Olive Garden is what it is. Nothing special. I had the Eggplant parmesan, it was ok, nothing to go ape crazy over. For dessert I had the "dark chocolate carmel" something or other. SO not worth the cost, whatever it might have been. I tasted nothing of dark chocolate, or even caramel. Basically, I give Olive Garden a complete.... EHHHH.
(3)Mike K.
It's Olive Garden that much is true but this location has an issue with their staff, I almost want to send an email to Food Network and have them come in and do an episode of Restaurant Stakeout. Pretty much everything that happens on that show, happens in this location. Sitting at the bar I can clearly hear some sort of an altercation in the kitchen, loud enough that it got everyone's attention. Although it might have been some staff involved in horseplay, the management appeared absent or unwilling to look into it. Shortly thereafter the bar became a hangout for the waitstaff and even some members of the kitchen staff, mundane stuff talked about but none the less very unprofessional. Again, the food is what you expect, don't expect much from the help.
(4)Amanda G.
Ridiculously awesome soup and salad! Can't beat the lunch price.
(5)Dwight T.
Zuppa Tuscana, and the mixed grill make a fantastic meal here. If you don't want an average meal, get something more than pasta.
(5)Lawanda J.
Cannot wait to return
(5)Michael L.
oh well we had waited several months before trying this place. An early dinner yesterday at about 4:30 pm. Not busy so we were seated straight away. A booth, yuck I hate booths. This one was hot for some reason so we moved to a table with two chairs, I guess a half booth. It was much cooler. I guy I forget his name was the server and he said at least three times I am going to take care of you real good and or well. Well the first thing we order is our drink, me water Gus iced tea. Well the guy waiter took only a few moments to get this to us, but of course placed the drinks opposite to who ordered. One appetizer, that being calamari. MY meal was the Tour of Italy Being Homemade lasagna, lightly breaded chicken parmigiana and creamy fettuccine alfredo. Gus ordered Pork Milanese Pan-seared pork scaloppini crusted with Italian herb breadcrumbs, served with asiago cheese-filled tortelloni pasta tossed in a garlic-butter sauce with fresh spinach. We had the salad too. So we get the salad, but the waiter wants to give a one soup and one salad. The salad was not really great. Appetizer is set down and about three minutes later the entrees. First off learn to pace the meal dude and try to remember who ordered what. Not once did he get it right even though he claimed it would be good service. I won't go in to each meal other than to say it sucked. Oh well another 53 bucks down the drain.

It finally opened and the waits are crazy!!! So we went last night, friends got there 1st, placed the name on the list, got the pager and off to Toys/Babies R Us for a little shopping (they needed Diapers). So we come back, waiting outside after the short rain and just when you thought we had more time, off goes our pager... Plowed thru the very crowded waiting lobby and to our table. They were very busy, but the patrons seemed pleased, not unhappy faced seen. Our server/service was a little slow, but considering how busy and new the place is, wasn't too bad. Food was a tasty as we expect. When the snowbirds go home (think Pebble Creek) the waits will shorten for sure! We will certainly be back (love those breadsticks!!)
(4)Evelyn L.
Why must you keep disappointing me Olive Garden, why?! Was in there yestersay July 22, for lunch and it was pretty empty in there for a while so no excuses. It took a little while after being seated for someone to come over to take our drink order it felt like forever especially after coming out of 100 degree weather. Then, after drinks it took another lifetime to get our food order taken which we should of just done after we ordered, since we ALWAYS order the samething. It took 11 minutes after ordering our food to get our soup and salad I feel like that is a little ridiculous. The people sitting behind us arrived 20 minutes after us and got their soups and salads at the sametime we did. Luckily the chicken wasn't undercooked this time it was perfect! I would probably have to say we experienced all of this due to our server as another table was also complaining about her.
(2)Judy S.
Came in 20 min. before the store was closing after a 8 hour drive from SD, I wasn't sure if they'd serve us, I asked if we could just order something to go. The host was very welcoming & insisted that they were still open & able to serve us dining in. I was relieved as it had been a long day in the car & it was raining out. We sat down, our order was taken, the food came fast & piping hot. Our server was so sweet, in fact even the staff that wasn't serving us, greeted us & everyone was just so friendly.... maybe it was because it was almost time to go home... lol but regardless, everyone made it a very nice experience for 2 weary travelers.
(4)Erin G.
I don't write a lot of reviews but I had to for this experience. I don't have high expectations when I go to Olive Garden. Not because it's a bad restaurant; simply because it's not a particularly fancy restaurant. I go there because I like the food and I think it's worth it to brave the noise level. Normally I expect about 2 hours from checking in with the hostess to paying the bill. This dinner only lasted a little over an hour. In no way did I feel rushed, however. It was actually very nice to have things move quickly as my parents and I had just been traveling and we were extremely tired. Our waiter, Philemon, was very polite, courteous and attentive. Our drink and food orders were at our table within about 10 minutes of ordering. The only issue we had with the food was that my mother's Chicken and Gnocchi soup didn't come with any gnocchi. We're not really sure why that happened but she ate all of it so apparently it didn't bother her overmuch. There wasn't anything necessarily spectacular about this experience but it took me by surprise and I felt I had to share. I definitely recommend this location.
(4)Taylor Marie B.
Wow. So I ordered to go and whoever answered the phone sounded like she was in the middle of a parade! I asked what soup they had and she says no we don't have any promotions. I told her no soup and she said hold on while I find another phone. She switched phones but I could still barely get my order through. I wouldn't have really minded much I've worked in the restaurant business but she had no customer service at all. This place is ghetto. Ghetto ghetto. You would think in a chain such as this there would be some kind of quality control and thorough training but I've been to this location on a couple occasions and the service has never improved. Ghetto. Oh. And to top it off, she told me 40 minutes wait for soup bread sticks and tiramisu... Wow.
(1)Paul J.
They have a pad looking terminal that you can order items or request refills at your table. The server was still great. The gnocchi soup is nice. My mom likes the chicken parm. I got a seafood over flat noodles with tomato and asparagus. It was ok with some clams and shrimp and scallops. Dessert was fun it is s fried sweet bread with raspberry or chocolate dipping sauce. You can look at your bill and pay it at your table. Super convenient!
(4)Michael S.
Wife and stopped in for lunch today. We expected a wait but were seated immediately. The food was awesome today. The service was great. Honestly this was a great experience. I have been here before when the service was not as great. Today everything was completely in line. Good food.
(4)Barry G.
I haven't been in an OG in probably a decade or more as the brand just got tired. I was pleasantly surprised with a dish of Rigatoni. Will I come back ? probably not since most Italian meals are scratch and at home and I know whats in it. I would recommend it to others
(4)Alyson F.
I love Olive Garden and have been going as a family tradition ever since I can remember. The problem is finding a place with good customer service. Upon entering we were greeted and I asked for a table.. As I am a large woman. The hostess takes us to a table and I had to remind her what I just stated two second prior that I needed a table not a booth. Granted I'm now a little irritable. Me and my husband waited for our server for about five minutes or so and then flashed the new kiosk for the server. Now I'm more like agitated. I informed him we were quite thirsty and he offered wine and took our drink order. Thank goodness for our server AJ. He turned our dining experience around. He was attentive to our needs and we never had an empty glass. He was pleasant and not too social. Needless to say he earned a great tip at 50% the bill. Shortly after we ate the manager came by and asked if our service and food were good. I let him know he had a great server in AJ! Most definitely leaving our other Olive Garden on 75th to come here for better customer service. Thank you too the server!
(4)Rob L.
Good 'ol Olive Garden My wife was looking for a good carb fix and we realized we had not visited OG in more than a year. Unlimited salad and breadsticks are still there, but the menu is very different from what we recalled. They also have this Ziosk console tablet at every table to order things and pay the bill, in addition to the wait staff who are very attentive. Food was good, though nothing special. The Capellini Pomodoro I used to love is gone. Had the noodles with gorgonzola, balsamic vinegar, and steak. It was tasty but super heavy and oily. My wife had a pasta and shrimp combo that she enjoyed and made the same heavy/oily comment. The kids loved their mac and cheese, of course. I'm torn on the three-star rating. Service was quite good. It's just that the food is so heavy and unremarkable... Slightly better food and I would give Olive Garden an easy four-star.
(3)Jennifer M.
Food was great! We sat at the bar and Their bar staff needs more training and 2 people at all times, especially on a weekend night. Bar staff was very dry not fun...
(2)Claire S.
My boyfriend and I split the Tour of Italy - and I'm so glad we split it! There was so much we were both stuffed on our halves! It was a nice mix of different tastes and hit the spot. But the real reason for the five star rating was our server, Joy. She was so sweet and attentive. Our drinks were always full and she made sure we wanted for nothing. What a wonderful personality! Her service is the reason we'll be coming back.
(5)Natalie N.
I ordered a lunch deal and asked the waitress if I could get a side of fruit. She said it wasn't available. My friend and her four year son were dining with me and when it was time to order the four year old's meal, the waitress asked if he wanted grapes. Are grapes not a fruit? Wth?!

For some reason we have not been to OG for a long time and recently we decided to stop in for dinner. Since then we have been back 3 times and each time the food and service has been excellent. The breadsticks at this location are awesome and I really enjoy the selections of appetizers available. If you haven't been in lately you should give it a try and enjoy some yummy treats.

5 stars after 1 star at a previous location. I went in already disappointed thinking my service was going to be terrible like before at a different location. Food was great, fast and what can I say definitely a 5 star for the awesome customer service. My waitress was amazing. She was always checking make sure we had everything we needed. Didn't make us wait for long on anything. She was very talkative, her recommendations were great. She was jus plain amazing! Thank you Marissa for a wonderful experience!
(5)Mario I.
The Chicken Parmigiana is my favorite and the Kiwi Melon drink is bomb... The server was awesome and nice even though the place was packed... This is our place to go on weekends...
(5)Veronica V.
Busy location but, always great service. Never had any issues. Always tasty fresh soups, salads and breads. My fav soup is the zoppa Toscana a mixture of sausage, potatoes, kale and some other delicious ingredients it's the best. My new favorite dish is the torte al forno small tortellini filled with cheese and topped with a bacon filled sauce. If you love Alfredo Parmesan like we do make sure to order a bowl to dip your breadsticks in you won't have any leftover, trust me. Always our go to restaurant for special occasions, too.

Food was nasty, came back twice and still wasn't right. service was fairly poor never came back to see how anything was. Manager was non-existent to address my issues. Second time this has happened never again I'll take my business else where.

You really can't go wrong going to Olive Garden, but this time I had a few hiccups. First they didn't want to sit us at a booth. Then the Waitress didn't seem to happy, and when we got our order everything was right but the type of pasta we ordered. I am not to sure why the cooks couldn't read the order or why the waitress didn't want to fixed the problem too. Either was done. Even the salad wasn't the usually either. Must have been a bad night but I pretty sure I will not show up at this one again.
(2)Paco L.
Food is always good and service is amazing specially if Joy is you sever,she's simply the best !!

Ok food the service is a little slow waited 15 minutes to get drinks refilled and also to get check at end of our night.

Billy Sheets, the Manager needs to be aware of my family's experience. After being seated by the host (a young man, tall with brownish-blonde hair) we sat for 15 minutes with no server. a family that entered after us, was seated, served drinks and placed their orders. Finally after 20 minutes, Jose or Jorge (not sure) walked out, carrying a large dessert order for the guest besides us. He turned to us, introduced himself, threw 3 coasters in front of us and said he would be with us soon. He preceded to turn back to the guest, chit chat about the young mans birthday along with the male host and another fellow before singing happy birthday. He walked off. Another 5 minutes, we walked out. Horrible service

First and last time I come to this location. Ive received better service at the 75th ave location.

Generally typical Olive Garden. Food was good and served hot. Server was good and service was more than acceptable. Would go back to this restaurant.
(4)Scott E.
The service has really gone down hill, they have 0 customer service nor can they handle groups of 10 or more. What a shame this restaurant used to be good.
(1)Jade W.
I have been under the weather and wanted soup. To Olive Garden we go! I was excited to see that they have the little tablets on the tables now so you can order drinks, appetizers, and pay on them too. Had some weird mishaps from the start. I ordered a peach tea and when our server brought it out, my friend noticed the glass was dirty. So our server said he'd bring me another one. When he came back, he accidentally brought a pink lemonade or something. So he went back again to get the correct drink. I was disappointed that there were no frozen peaches in the bottom... did they stop doing that? That was the best part, eating the peaches at the end. :( When I took a sip, it was almost warm and quite syrupy. Needed more ice. My friend gave me most of the ice cubes from his water. The server did come by and ask if we wanted more ice. I said yes, but he forgot to bring it... Oh well. I ordered the soup (minestrone) & breadsticks, no salad. We also ordered the risotto bites as an appetizer, which the server entered into the tablet for us (I would have rather done it myself). The girl at the table next to us was texting the whole time, with the sound on so we had to hear the stupid chime... The people who eat here are always so oblivious to others around them. My soup and my friend's salad came out before the risotto bites. Considering the soup was my entree, I thought he would bring it out with my friend's entree. Guess not. The breadsticks were fresh and garlicky so that was good. And the risotto bites were yummy as usual. Breaded cheesy rice balls served with marinara. Genius! When I was getting low on my soup, our server asked if I'd like another bowl. I said yes, and he brought it out right away. Wasn't even done with the first one... Over eager server! Better than a neglectful one but still... My first bite of the second bowl of soup was surprisingly salty! I was taken aback! It had to have been from a different pot than the first... it wasn't bad enough to send back, but it was noticeably salty. :( When a guy came by with a pitcher of peach tea, I still didn't see any peaches in there... We had a gift card and were able to pay with that on the kiosk. It even prints out your receipt, which is nice. We were going to do the survey, but it timed out without warning. Pfft! But our server brought us 6 Andes mints so that was appreciated. Rocky visit, but I know we'll be back.
(2)Heather M.
always excellent and receiving wine samples are always fantastic. My favorite dish is the cheese ravioli but it seems a few months ago the filling in the ravioli has changed and I don't like it so I order tortlini. Chicken is always phenomenal it's my favorite part when I order chicken parmesan or I'll pick the chicken from my husband's alfredo! The Moscato d'Asti is my and hubs favorite wine and my husband loves the sangria FYI he hates wine! With all of the new choices there's always something to try and who needs breadsticks when you have awesome salad and yummy appetizers!
(5)Alex F.
We were seated right away. Our server Tim was very nice and attentive. Food was hot and served promptly. Good experience.

This place is always great . Our server was fun & nice . I love their tour of Italy . Only bad part is they got rid of their cream sodas but you can still low key ask them to make you one lol
(5)Terrie C.
I worked for OG in another state a few years ago. I admit I have a high standard when it comes to service because of my past. I can honestly say this was the best OG experience I have had outside the store I worked in. Our server was super busy but that never kept us from being taken care of. The staff worked as a TEAM to ensure the pace of the meal was as good as the food itself. This included the managers who were both present in the dining room and not afraid to get their hands dirty. I have been to a couple other Olive Gardens in the area and one is dissappointng and the other, well, we don't go to that one anymore and it is the closest to our home. We will gladly drive an extra few miles to go to this one. So happy to have found our new Olive Garden home! P.S. The rosemary chicken with garlic mashed potatoes is CRAZY good!

I love Olive Garden and have been going as a family tradition ever since I can remember. The problem is finding a place with good customer service. Upon entering we were greeted and I asked for a table.. As I am a large woman. The hostess takes us to a table and I had to remind her what I just stated two second prior that I needed a table not a booth. Granted I'm now a little irritable. Me and my husband waited for our server for about five minutes or so and then flashed the new kiosk for the server. Now I'm more like agitated. I informed him we were quite thirsty and he offered wine and took our drink order. Thank goodness for our server AJ. He turned our dining experience around. He was attentive to our needs and we never had an empty glass. He was pleasant and not too social. Needless to say he earned a great tip at 50% the bill. Shortly after we ate the manager came by and asked if our service and food were good. I let him know he had a great server in AJ! Most definitely leaving our other Olive Garden on 75th to come here for better customer service. Thank you too the server!

Good 'ol Olive Garden My wife was looking for a good carb fix and we realized we had not visited OG in more than a year. Unlimited salad and breadsticks are still there, but the menu is very different from what we recalled. They also have this Ziosk console tablet at every table to order things and pay the bill, in addition to the wait staff who are very attentive. Food was good, though nothing special. The Capellini Pomodoro I used to love is gone. Had the noodles with gorgonzola, balsamic vinegar, and steak. It was tasty but super heavy and oily. My wife had a pasta and shrimp combo that she enjoyed and made the same heavy/oily comment. The kids loved their mac and cheese, of course. I'm torn on the three-star rating. Service was quite good. It's just that the food is so heavy and unremarkable... Slightly better food and I would give Olive Garden an easy four-star.
(3)Jennifer M.
Food was great! We sat at the bar and Their bar staff needs more training and 2 people at all times, especially on a weekend night. Bar staff was very dry not fun...
(2)Michael S.
Wife and stopped in for lunch today. We expected a wait but were seated immediately. The food was awesome today. The service was great. Honestly this was a great experience. I have been here before when the service was not as great. Today everything was completely in line. Good food.
(4)Barry G.
I haven't been in an OG in probably a decade or more as the brand just got tired. I was pleasantly surprised with a dish of Rigatoni. Will I come back ? probably not since most Italian meals are scratch and at home and I know whats in it. I would recommend it to others

Olive Garden has decent food...the bread sticks and salad are always a favorite. We ordered the Alfredo pizza...but when the waiter brought out the food it was the Alfredo pasta, easy mix up. However, the manager came over and apologize for the confusion and offered a free appetizer, which was nice. Overall, the food was good and the service was pleasant.
(4)D T.
Waited 2 hours to be seated. They don't take call aheads or reservations. Food was cold. Dinner was over 150. Service okay. Waited too long to be seated.
(1)Arlene P.
Olive Gardens are usually pretty nice across the board and this one was no exception. The inside layout isn't quite as cozy and quaint as the one we've enjoyed in Flagstaff, with it's nooks and crannies (this place had more of an open floor plan, detracting a bit from the cozy feeling) but still made for an enjoyable evening out. The food was delicious (I had no idea lasagna could be eaten fried! Had to try that one!!) and our waitress was delightful. I only left off the last star because we had to wait a good 15 minutes for our check and I'm pretty particular that when I'm ready to leave, I want to leave. Having to sit around waiting detracts a bit for me.
(4)Jacob S.
I've eaten here tons of times and the service is always great. They're very accommodating as well. The food is always good (as good as a chain restaurant can be). Never had a bad experience here!
(4)P A.
I heart OG, what can I say. The food is not 5 star but they are pretty consistent in all their locations. Good luck getting a table at this location though on a Friday night. We usually just head over to the bar area and either eat at the counter or grab one of the tables in that area. We'ver never had to wait more than 5 minutes going that route.
(4)Keri V.
My husband, daughter and I just came from the Goodyear location. Was asked if we wanted more bread, which we didn't get. Also, no refills were offered on tea. I noticed our server was stretched thin so I thought "no biggie". However, my main complaint is based on what I witnessed. We were in a booth within a couple of feet of the wine station. I know a little bit about wine...tend to try and enjoy a wide variety so I am well informed. A server for another table poured 2 half glasses of the standard merlot Robert Mondovi. then took 2 more glasses and poured just a quarter in each of Cavit merlot. Im studying her trying to figure out what she was doing. Then, taking me by surprise, the Cavit wine was poured into the Robert Mondovi glasses, making them full servable portions and then they went to the awaiting patrons. Im beside myself. I now question every and any establishment I have ever dined. I am for sure not choosing this particular location again.
(2)Hank W.
My wife and I stopped late one Saturday for a few appetizers and a nite cap. Very friendly staff and really enjoyed the food. It will not be the last time we stop by!!!
(5)Mike D.
Since I was just a little boy munching on soup, salad, and breadsticks, I was never really a fan of Olive Garden... so my 4-star review should say a lot! The menu is much improved over the last time I ventured here. I was with a fairly large group and all seemed to enjoy their dishes very much! The Zuppa Tuscana and Pasta Fagioli (sp?) were both big hits with the crowd. The calzone was smaller than what we were expecting, but the chicken parm panini was plenty big and plenty delicious! Even the salads are much better than what I remembered. I still can't say that I will plan my next Olive Garden outing anytime soon... but I thoroughly enjoyed my meal!
(4)Jason M.
The Breadsticks and salad are consistently good. The entrees are subpar in my opinion. Its commercial grade fake italian food and I get that, although, I feel like they are falling short of even doing that well. This olive garden was better a year ago when i went there than it was tonight.
(3)Kimberly D.
To-go orders are slow as molasses! I called a simple order in of two salads and two Zuppa Toscana soups. I was told they would be ready by 7pm. Got to the restaurant at 7, told them I had called in my order, and walked out of the restaurant with my food...29 minutes later. There were three people in front of me, with the third person ordering a large amount of food on site. They all received their food before me. Not to mention, by the time I finally received my food...they brought me the wrong order. That will be the last time I'm doing that...and it was only a Thursday night. Disappointing. So much for "to-go" service...
(3)Edward D.
I'm not a huge fan of OG! Just your typical franchise restaurant. But the wife, daughter, and myself had a great experience at this location. Food was very good, I had the stuffed chicken Marsala. Seen it on TV, and wanted to try it. Glad I did! Chicken was very moist, stuffed with dried tomato's, Wife enjoyed their ravioli's with meat sauce, daughter had no problem with the Alfredo! Our server was Wolfgang, really nice guy! Always came by and checked on us, always made sure everything was fine. Place has a very good server there! This OG location, is probably the best experience we have had with Olive Garden.
(4)Kate R.
Maybe it's because I lived in Hawaii for so many years and was deprived of all the Olive Garden goodness there is, or maybe it's just because I love me some Italian-esque food -- but I'm a big fan of the Olive Garden. Each time I've visited this location, I've had excellent service, was served quickly, and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Wine sample? Don't mind if I do. Buy-one-entree-for-dinner-and-get-another-one-for-Âlunch-tomorrow? Yes, please. And don't even get me started on their soup, salad, and breadsticks - YUM YUM in my tum. If you haven't visited an Olive Garden, stop reading right now, get up, and go get yourself some delicious eats. The end.
(4)Joe S.
Terrible service, Don't even try ordering ToGo. that is, unless you want to wait for 20 min when you arrive to pick it up. I even showed up 5 min late from there timeframe that they had me for my food to be ready. pretty ridiculous! I won't be going back. Food was cold and soggy when I received it. If I could rate zero stars I would have! If youre reading this review and contemplating coming here...dont! Never Come to this olive Garden!
(1)Zach L.
Phenomenal service. Server Brian was extremely polite, attentive and helpful. Good was great, there was just so much! Would definitely recommend to someone looking to have a quick dinner but something nicer than fast food
(5)Luciana L.
If you like OG, you'll like this one. Good service to boot.
(3)Stacey H.
We've been here 3 or 4 times and the service is generally a bit above average but never amazing. Food is always good. I most often just get salad and bread sticks if we're in for lunch but if we're in for dinner I'll get the fettuccine alfredo or the portabello ravioli, the ravioli is my favorite I absolutely love it. My mom had the muscles which are on the featured items menu and she said they were amazing. My husband had the featured cheese ravioli with carbonara sauce and chicken...said it was amazing! Overall I'd say this is one of the few consistently good places on the west side. I do wish they had a vegetarian soup option, I loved the soups when I ate meat and it would be great to enjoy them again.
(4)Catrina L.
Went there last night got food poisoning from their chicken Marsala. Had to go to the ER cause I got so sick!! They ran test and it was confirmed it was from the food! So I called in and their shitty manager just says sorry no one else called wish u luck! Are you FN kidding! I paid for shitty service got sick and an ER visit cause you don't know how to prep food!! I wish I didn't have to give u one star and the manager needs to get fired!!
(1)Jonathan J.
Came here the other night for their buy one take one. The food was amazing and the service was great and to top it all off we were able to get a complimentary glass of wine that was being offered.
(5)Evelyn L.
Why must you keep disappointing me Olive Garden, why?! Was in there yestersay July 22, for lunch and it was pretty empty in there for a while so no excuses. It took a little while after being seated for someone to come over to take our drink order it felt like forever especially after coming out of 100 degree weather. Then, after drinks it took another lifetime to get our food order taken which we should of just done after we ordered, since we ALWAYS order the samething. It took 11 minutes after ordering our food to get our soup and salad I feel like that is a little ridiculous. The people sitting behind us arrived 20 minutes after us and got their soups and salads at the sametime we did. Luckily the chicken wasn't undercooked this time it was perfect! I would probably have to say we experienced all of this due to our server as another table was also complaining about her.
(2)Judy S.
Came in 20 min. before the store was closing after a 8 hour drive from SD, I wasn't sure if they'd serve us, I asked if we could just order something to go. The host was very welcoming & insisted that they were still open & able to serve us dining in. I was relieved as it had been a long day in the car & it was raining out. We sat down, our order was taken, the food came fast & piping hot. Our server was so sweet, in fact even the staff that wasn't serving us, greeted us & everyone was just so friendly.... maybe it was because it was almost time to go home... lol but regardless, everyone made it a very nice experience for 2 weary travelers.
(4)Erin G.
I don't write a lot of reviews but I had to for this experience. I don't have high expectations when I go to Olive Garden. Not because it's a bad restaurant; simply because it's not a particularly fancy restaurant. I go there because I like the food and I think it's worth it to brave the noise level. Normally I expect about 2 hours from checking in with the hostess to paying the bill. This dinner only lasted a little over an hour. In no way did I feel rushed, however. It was actually very nice to have things move quickly as my parents and I had just been traveling and we were extremely tired. Our waiter, Philemon, was very polite, courteous and attentive. Our drink and food orders were at our table within about 10 minutes of ordering. The only issue we had with the food was that my mother's Chicken and Gnocchi soup didn't come with any gnocchi. We're not really sure why that happened but she ate all of it so apparently it didn't bother her overmuch. There wasn't anything necessarily spectacular about this experience but it took me by surprise and I felt I had to share. I definitely recommend this location.
(4)Taylor Marie B.
Wow. So I ordered to go and whoever answered the phone sounded like she was in the middle of a parade! I asked what soup they had and she says no we don't have any promotions. I told her no soup and she said hold on while I find another phone. She switched phones but I could still barely get my order through. I wouldn't have really minded much I've worked in the restaurant business but she had no customer service at all. This place is ghetto. Ghetto ghetto. You would think in a chain such as this there would be some kind of quality control and thorough training but I've been to this location on a couple occasions and the service has never improved. Ghetto. Oh. And to top it off, she told me 40 minutes wait for soup bread sticks and tiramisu... Wow.
(1)Paul J.
They have a pad looking terminal that you can order items or request refills at your table. The server was still great. The gnocchi soup is nice. My mom likes the chicken parm. I got a seafood over flat noodles with tomato and asparagus. It was ok with some clams and shrimp and scallops. Dessert was fun it is s fried sweet bread with raspberry or chocolate dipping sauce. You can look at your bill and pay it at your table. Super convenient!
(4)Claire S.
My boyfriend and I split the Tour of Italy - and I'm so glad we split it! There was so much we were both stuffed on our halves! It was a nice mix of different tastes and hit the spot. But the real reason for the five star rating was our server, Joy. She was so sweet and attentive. Our drinks were always full and she made sure we wanted for nothing. What a wonderful personality! Her service is the reason we'll be coming back.
(5)Natalie N.
I ordered a lunch deal and asked the waitress if I could get a side of fruit. She said it wasn't available. My friend and her four year son were dining with me and when it was time to order the four year old's meal, the waitress asked if he wanted grapes. Are grapes not a fruit? Wth?!
(3)Daisy M.
5 stars after 1 star at a previous location. I went in already disappointed thinking my service was going to be terrible like before at a different location. Food was great, fast and what can I say definitely a 5 star for the awesome customer service. My waitress was amazing. She was always checking make sure we had everything we needed. Didn't make us wait for long on anything. She was very talkative, her recommendations were great. She was jus plain amazing! Thank you Marissa for a wonderful experience!
(5)Mario I.
The Chicken Parmigiana is my favorite and the Kiwi Melon drink is bomb... The server was awesome and nice even though the place was packed... This is our place to go on weekends...
(5)Veronica V.
Busy location but, always great service. Never had any issues. Always tasty fresh soups, salads and breads. My fav soup is the zoppa Toscana a mixture of sausage, potatoes, kale and some other delicious ingredients it's the best. My new favorite dish is the torte al forno small tortellini filled with cheese and topped with a bacon filled sauce. If you love Alfredo Parmesan like we do make sure to order a bowl to dip your breadsticks in you won't have any leftover, trust me. Always our go to restaurant for special occasions, too.
(4)Danny E.
Food was nasty, came back twice and still wasn't right. service was fairly poor never came back to see how anything was. Manager was non-existent to address my issues. Second time this has happened never again I'll take my business else where.
(1)Bill M.
You really can't go wrong going to Olive Garden, but this time I had a few hiccups. First they didn't want to sit us at a booth. Then the Waitress didn't seem to happy, and when we got our order everything was right but the type of pasta we ordered. I am not to sure why the cooks couldn't read the order or why the waitress didn't want to fixed the problem too. Either was done. Even the salad wasn't the usually either. Must have been a bad night but I pretty sure I will not show up at this one again.
(2)Kyann M.
I picked up dinner here a few nights ago. The dinner was for a friend, so I'm not going to talk about the food, as I didn't eat it. I arrived at 6:00 to pick up the order. The place was packed and there were at least 10 people waiting to be seated. I checked in with the hostess who said that the to-go person would be with me soon, which ended up taking about 5 minutes. Once she went to get my order it took another 10-12 minutes. I realize that they were busy but waiting 15 minutes for a to-go order that had been placed 3 hours before seemed a bit much. I don't go to this Olive Garden very often and I'll probably go again at some point; however, I will try to avoid the rush hour. I didn't think that 6:00 on a Thursday would be that busy.

Went for a nice Sunday afternoon Lunch. As always the food was fantastic, the wait staff above par, my problem is with the parents that bring the kids along who don't keep them acting respectful of all the patrons who are paying good money for the dining experience, we thought we had stepped into a kindercare during playtime, the noise of screaming kids was simply outrageous, with parents doing little or nothing to quiet the unruly kids up. My suggestion to those parents who lack number one, parenting skills, and number two, and regard for the respect others around you deserve when dining at a restaurant, you can let your kids do that at home, that is your choice, but bring them to dine with others who just want a good meal with a peaceful quiet environment they better have their best behaviour pants on. It's plain RUDE not to demand that of YOUR kids! You know they also have take out, how about using that next time....

Great Olive Garden. The service was great and the atmosphere is perfect. The waiters and waitresses do a good job of taking care of the customers. My preferred Olive Garden in town.

This place is in the middle of nowhere. I only say this because I live in N. Phx and my niece wanted to come here for her 18th birthday. Since she lives close by so its nothing for her, but I swear I am going to make her mom give me gas money lol. I will say that the everything went pretty well. We had a super large party of about 35 people and we did have a reservation so score one for them! I can't even be upset with them for taking forever to bring our checks since they decided to split it up instead of giving one big check and making us work it out amongst ourselves. It did take longer than the average due to this but I will give them credit for doing a stand up job with taking orders and getting them out in a timely fashion. Although some checks were wrong, everyone was very patient (some more than others but I digress) I highly doubt that I will ever be back to this location again due to the distance but I do give them two thumbs up for service.

It's Olive Garden that much is true but this location has an issue with their staff, I almost want to send an email to Food Network and have them come in and do an episode of Restaurant Stakeout. Pretty much everything that happens on that show, happens in this location. Sitting at the bar I can clearly hear some sort of an altercation in the kitchen, loud enough that it got everyone's attention. Although it might have been some staff involved in horseplay, the management appeared absent or unwilling to look into it. Shortly thereafter the bar became a hangout for the waitstaff and even some members of the kitchen staff, mundane stuff talked about but none the less very unprofessional. Again, the food is what you expect, don't expect much from the help.

We visit this location often and the food continues to be exactly what one would expect from the Olive Garden. The downside is the location in the only far west location and therefore it is often a pretty busy place.

I came here for lunch on Mother's Day, bad mistake, very bad mistake. The wait was 30 minutes so I can only imagine what the wait would be for dinner. My favorite part of Olive Garden are the bread sticks and they did not disappoint as they were hot and ready on our table. My friend ordered stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. I tried them and they were delicious! Next time I go I'm going to make sure I get my own order. I would recommend anyone to give them a try at least once especially if you like mushrooms. Service was of course hectic. It took at least 15 minutes for our waiter to get our drinks. Then another 10 minutes for her to bring our straws. It was about the same amount of time to get our checks and our cards back. I was going to order dessert but I decided to skip out in risk of being delayed in Mother's Day Mayhem. I ordered Chicken Alfredo and chose to have a salad instead of the soup. I'm always a fan of Olive Garden's salad but this time it was lackluster. The pasta was a little on the bland side but I'm very picky about my pasta and there honestly isn't a lot of places that can get it right. Regardless of the mayhem I still expect for the quality of the food to not deteriorate.

Ridiculously awesome soup and salad! Can't beat the lunch price.

Zuppa Tuscana, and the mixed grill make a fantastic meal here. If you don't want an average meal, get something more than pasta.

I was here on Saturday the 30th of March & although I have always been a big fan of OG that quickly changed. When a waiter, dropped a tray filled with plates on my 3 year-old son's head! OG, was quick into action by providing free meal, $100 gift card and even throwing in free dessert. Another, waiter even cracked a joke saying "Surprise"- not funny considering there was broken glass all over our table, on our un-eaten food. And, the fact my 3 year old just got hit a set of plates and a tray. . Nonetheless, I forgive OG and the waiter who did it, and thankfully my son is alive and just has a few bumps on the head. Still, I'd really like for OG to be more careful - I know how it is to wait tables, and try and hurry up. But, safety is a big concern.

It finally opened and the waits are crazy!!! So we went last night, friends got there 1st, placed the name on the list, got the pager and off to Toys/Babies R Us for a little shopping (they needed Diapers). So we come back, waiting outside after the short rain and just when you thought we had more time, off goes our pager... Plowed thru the very crowded waiting lobby and to our table. They were very busy, but the patrons seemed pleased, not unhappy faced seen. Our server/service was a little slow, but considering how busy and new the place is, wasn't too bad. Food was a tasty as we expect. When the snowbirds go home (think Pebble Creek) the waits will shorten for sure! We will certainly be back (love those breadsticks!!)

I have been here 3 or 4 times and have always received great service...the only reason why I come is for the zuppa tuscana soup and breadsticks so I can not comment on the rest of the food. They seem to have a lot of new items on the menu, including some yummy looking desserts.

We visit this olive garden about once a week because my kids love it. I like it because they have allergy friendly dishes for my kids. (But you have to ask what is in certain dishes). I also love the soups here. Overall good.

Food was great and service was absolutely awesome! Best ever! Thanks Lauren!

oh well we had waited several months before trying this place. An early dinner yesterday at about 4:30 pm. Not busy so we were seated straight away. A booth, yuck I hate booths. This one was hot for some reason so we moved to a table with two chairs, I guess a half booth. It was much cooler. I guy I forget his name was the server and he said at least three times I am going to take care of you real good and or well. Well the first thing we order is our drink, me water Gus iced tea. Well the guy waiter took only a few moments to get this to us, but of course placed the drinks opposite to who ordered. One appetizer, that being calamari. MY meal was the Tour of Italy Being Homemade lasagna, lightly breaded chicken parmigiana and creamy fettuccine alfredo. Gus ordered Pork Milanese Pan-seared pork scaloppini crusted with Italian herb breadcrumbs, served with asiago cheese-filled tortelloni pasta tossed in a garlic-butter sauce with fresh spinach. We had the salad too. So we get the salad, but the waiter wants to give a one soup and one salad. The salad was not really great. Appetizer is set down and about three minutes later the entrees. First off learn to pace the meal dude and try to remember who ordered what. Not once did he get it right even though he claimed it would be good service. I won't go in to each meal other than to say it sucked. Oh well another 53 bucks down the drain.

I was so disappointed with the food. We order soup and salad, which was my favorite and my mothers favorite too. My mom had a stick in her salad! She said she thought she bit into something hard but thought it was a croutons but it was a piece of stick. I was so disappointed because this place was my favorite place to eat , now I don't think so. We did get our meal for free but that's wasn't enough to make everything better. I just wish we had a great lunch.

We love Olive Garden. We have gone to the Olive Garden in Rochester, MN and Kansas City, and Chandler, AZ, but the one in Goodyear is not the same. It is like a training ground for average cooks. Everything is a bit off. The salad was not up to snuff tonight. Tired tomatoes were 2 pieces in the whole salad with a ton of croutons. The gravy on the Chicken Marsala was runny and weak. The Zuppa Tuscana was interesting. Big chunks of meat in it that had not been broken down prior to being added to the pot. This Olive Garden needs a new chef and new management. They continue to be busy, but they are not a very good store in Goodyear. Go elsewhere and get happy. Wait staff is great! Food was sub par, but eatable.

My kids love love to come here. They always have great service. My best dish is the soup and salad and the kids love the ravioli with a side o broccoli. We go here at least once a month for a family treat

I have not been back to this Olive Garden since last review (1 year). We had a family dinner there with 9 of us. We called ahead for reservations and they got us in for 6:15pm. OK, I will try this Olive Garden again... The service was good. The food actually was ok this time. I was surprised. I got the chicken and gnocchi soup, there was only 1 dumpling. Really? The flavors were good, but 1 dumpling? I asked for a 2nd bowl and wow, tons of dumplings. It guess it is a hit or miss kind of thing. I got the Alfredo chicken, it was actually not bad.

I had dinner there last night with a friend. I had the Garlic Rosemary Chicken and my friend had the Chicken Scampi. My chicken was very over cooked to the point of being very dry and tough but still edible. My friend said that his chicken was burned. I was also unaware that there was bread on the table. The bread was hidden behind a wine list or some other written material that was sitting vertically on the table.

My girlfriend and I dined at this location last night and she got food poisoning. She was sick and miserable all night. Definitely the last time I will be eating here.

Olive Garden is what it is. Nothing special. I had the Eggplant parmesan, it was ok, nothing to go ape crazy over. For dessert I had the "dark chocolate carmel" something or other. SO not worth the cost, whatever it might have been. I tasted nothing of dark chocolate, or even caramel. Basically, I give Olive Garden a complete.... EHHHH.
(3)Rosemary L.
We eat here all the time, the waiters are great except for the guy waiter who nearly ran us over to get to the park next to the door in his piece of junk car!!! We were heading there he cut us off and took the spot!! So glad he was not our waiter! He ran in like he was late! Me having arthritis in ankles parked way out and did not run! Enough of that went there Thursday to have lunch tried the new chicken calzone, all I can say is unedible, hard as a brick, a little burnt on bottom, worse crust ever!!! But two stars for great waitress, and great salad !
