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.

My husband and I went here on Valentines Day and the experience was not very good. We were told their was a wait time of an hour and five minutes which was expected on Valentines Day, however after that time had passed we were still waiting and began to see couples who had checked in after us going in. I went and asked one of the ladies working at the front and had told her my complaint. She ignored what I said and just told me that they are waiting to seat a group of 16 and then we will go. After about 15 minutes we were finally seated. Once we began to order we were still let down when our server seemed like she didn't want to be there. My husband and I joked that she must be at the end of her shift. We were waiting for her to take our order and overheard her talking to a wealthy looking older couple and she was being very nice and sweet going out of her way to do things for them. Once again she would return to us and be very rude and hardly helpful at all. My husband and I being a young couple I guess didn't look like very good tippers so she didn't give us the time of day. Little did she know the tip we had planned to leave, have we had a good experience. Once we were finished we were leaving and we heard other people complaining to get seated and the same hostess told them they were waiting for a group of 16 to be seated. That sounded a little strange since she had told us the same thing about an hour ago. Definitely won't return to this Olive Garden! On the plus side they do have those new computers at the tables so we were able to leave a review there as well.

I guess we came at the wrong time. The hostess didn't have a " Seater" so that confused her. Our server acted like he really didn't want a new table and when I asked about silverware, the reply was... The hostess has one job, and they can't do that! We ordered and waited forever just for salad and bread... I guess it was a ruff night the night before. When the salad finally came.. We were told how he had to go into the back cooler to get it ?!?! TMI I am only giving 3 stars because it is comfort food go to for us... In other words, it's my daughters favorite.

I have eaten at several different Olive Gardens in several different states. Most all have the same look and feel. One thing I have a hard time understanding is even when the place is almost empty of people and there are lots of tables you have to wait for at least 10 min to be seated? I usually go for their never ending pasta, and salad. Value priced and you can get several different pasta dishes. I have always received good service from very helpful waiters and waitresses. Their restaurants are always clean and well lighted. Why the 3? Well.....First their food is good. It is not great. Their choices are limited. Most choices are just a variation on another dish. Why should you go. Their food is good and you get great value for your dollar. Just what a lot of us are looking for.

The restaurant opened at 11:00AM. We were the third party to enter the restaurant. It took over 30 minutes to be seated. The story we heard was that a few servers didn't show up, so the manager had to rearrange where the servers worked. It would have been smarter to let the servers work in their assigned areas and as replacements showed up, put them in the vacant positions. The food was good, but the wait was unsatisfactory.
(1)Rosie H.
It's not amazing or new, but it's always good. Knowing that this is a chain restaurant we expect that. The servers are kind, respectful, and prompt with drinks. The food quality is consistently good and I have even had the pleasure of meeting one of the chefs; very nice guy. Altogether, it's the perfect place to grab a quick lunch with an old friend or take the whole family for dinner with no complaints and no breaking the bank. The only thing I would change is the one thing that has; the tablet on the table used to order or pay your bill. I like having a server, I like paying extra for good service from people not machines. Please get rid of that distracting, unnecessary thing on the table. Dinner should be a time when we ignore those kinds of items and instead enjoy the people with whom we are eating.
(4)Johnny H.
If you ever come to this location and they ask if you'd like to get a table at the cafe area, decline it and wait for an actual table because the servers will almost never come to serve you, let alone clean the table from the previous guests that sat at the table... Waited a good 10 minutes for a server to clear it. Even the manager didn't do anything about it but talk to the old people to the table next to the table my fiance and I sat at. Very disappointed with this visit.
(2)Paula E.
My friend and I had a highly enjoyable experience thanks in part to our great server Robin who deserves a shout-out. Our service was top notch, non rushed and perfectly paced. Enjoyed the salad (who doesn't love it) and perfect bread sticks. My entree of the garlic Rosemary chicken was perfect for me under 575 calories and I took half home to enjoy for lunch the next day. My friend is somewhat picky so all of her requests were handled with grace. I love Olive Garden and would not hesitate to go to this location again.

I normally love dinning in and eating here but today I ordered for pick up and it was horrible. I got a chicken alfredo and salad. When I went to pick it up I asked if they could give me the little packages to put cheese on my food they said yes. So I paid and went back to work arriving at my work took out my food and noticed they didn't even give me any silverware. The chicken was cold and the noodles were disgusting. Now I know to never order for pick up AGAIN.
(1)Lorena M.
We waited a little longer the expected for a party of 8. But James completely made up for it. Even when the steak was accidentally dropped and had to be remade, he was nice enough not to charge us for it. He was genuine and very personable. Thank you James.
(5)Christal B.
Last Friday we ordered Curb side because of a monsoon rolling in. I will never do that again. I love this place but apparently the food to~go doesn't get the same amount of love as when you dine in. My stuffed mushrooms & calamari were okay but the tour of Italy sucked. My alfredo was so gross. I didn't touch the chicken parm or the lasagna.
(3)Leslee S.
Our waitress was well above average! Her section was completely full and she handled it like a pro! My Kim and I both had the soup and salad. I always ask for a bowl of Alfredo sauce because it is just amazing with the breadsticks! I enjoyed two bowls of soup and then she packed up a bowl which was extra awesome!
(5)Audrey E.
I'm not a huge fan of anything they serve here but the salad, breadsticks, roscato wine, and their seasonal pumpkin cheesecake. Most of their actual dishes just don't have any unique taste to me especially for the price. Honestly sometimes I just go for the salad and breadsticks!
(3)Jene J.
Food was fabulous like always and our waitress was the sweetest and super helpful! Will definitely go back to this location
(5)Andrew M.
Wow the have to get it together, I came in for a to go soup and it took 20 minutes now I'm back to pick up something I forgot and have been standing here for 10 minutes while managers and servers walk around. And yes there is a ration and charge for breadsticks, I thought these were bottomless. Meh..... Make eye contact, acknowledge the customer and provide service.
(1)Allen Y.
Service was great, food was great, FYI: playing a game on the table tablet will cost you $1.99 without notice. Only noticed the charge when I went to check out and review the bill on the tablet at the end of the meal. My son (age 9) was playing and said he didn't know there was a charge, so after paying I went back into the menu to check the games and to my surprise there was no mention of being a fee for playing. Do not mind paying for entertainment but do not like when the company charges hidden fees.
(1)Hana H.
Server was completely uninterested in us and took forever to bring us anything. When our server disappeared I asked the other server in the section to grab her because we wanted bread that wasn't stale and cold and she reluctantly said she'd get new bread. She brought it back to the table next to us and I didn't get my bread until after we finished soul ms salad. No cheese on the entrees and took FOREVER TO bring a to go cup.
(2)Lisa Monique C.
Our server was amazing. He attended to our needs very promptly. Our meals went smoothly, except, at the end of my mom's meal, she found a hair in her pasta. This grossed her out and ruined her meal on her birthday. Boo!
(3)Alberto B.
Like every other Olive Garden. This time around the staff was super friendly and attentive. Not something I'm used to. Made th experience much better. Great location.
(3)Terry C.
Food was good but we got our appetizer after our soup/salad, then our entrées just as we were taking our first bite of our soup/salad and appetizer! Poor timing of the food.
(3)Daniel W.
The food has gone down hill! The chicken that I had didn't have any seasoning on the chicken and the potatoes tasted plain. I know it was really bad! They try to rush you out the door once sat down. OMG! The best thing to eat was the bread sticks.
(1)Theresa K.
This particular Olive Garden is below par. It took 20 mins to be seated for 2 people at 3pm. There were two hostesses and two servers at the front lobby talking And goofing around while we were waiting to be seated. The food was below standard. The bread sticks were still doughy and the entrees were cold. We asked for boxes and our waitress did not bring containers for the soup and leftover bread sticks (at other OG the servers give us fresh bread and salad to go). Also at the end of our meal we had to ask for the mints instead of the usual complimentary candies that are supposed to come w the bill. I will never come back to this location .
(1)Jason B.
WOW! Amazing dining experience! Adam had a great attitude, and took great care of my family! He took the time to make sure everything was perfect, and even took the time to make sure the kids were having a good time. He even brought extra grapes for my little boy, and extra chocolates for my daughter. The food was good, but Adam provided first class service!
(5)Melissa M.
Prefer other locations than going to this one due to there HORRIBLE customer service. Don't recommend !
(1)Summer S.
Update to 5 stars. After posting my original review the Olive Garden management was quick to respond to my review and open a dialogue to address my concerns. I can't blame the entire restraunt for the actions of one server, and I truly appreciate the effort their management team has put into resolving my complaint. We will definitely give them another try.
(5)Ty S.
I haven't been to an OG (Olive Garden) in about a few months - however, stopped by this Glendale location in which I have been to a few times with the family. Olive Garden, is far from authentic Italian food - but since the removal of fast Italian food around such as Fazzolis, and not wanting to go fancy schmancy - I opted for the OG on this specific date. Now, I see they have these fancy computer tablet thingies that sits on the table(s). That's fine and dandy and all - however, at no point was I informed that THEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR PLAYING TABLE GAMES TO PASS TIME SUCH AS TRIVIA - Oh yeah, could have it been the fact that I was using silly screen names vs. all others in which I absolutely destroyed in trivia such as the movie section - or the fact that OG is starting to lose it in stocks and are forcing to go below the belt tactics in order to garner a few bucks. $1.99 charged on my e-receipt for table games? Are you $hi**ing me??? Don't play these games folks especially when you could do it on your phone? WTH? I don't get charged at other locations such as TGI Fridays or Chilis for the table games - absolutely ridiculous.
(2)C.A. C.
Terrible. Waited for a table for 30 minutes, sat at table for 15 and nobody even took our drink orders. We were totally ignored by the other servers. We got fed up. We left and went elsewhere to eat. This place has been going downhill for a while now, ever since the upper management and staff changed. We more than likely will never go back to this location.
(1)Sallie W.
I am very disappointed in this restaurant I called tonight to make a to go order it tells you to push one to make a to go order and the first time I pushed one and I was on hold for 30 minutes and then hung up on and then I called back again and the girl who finally answered the phone said that she does not do to go orders so in my opinion she should be answering the phone and I know they're busy but it shouldn't have been a 30 minute wait just to place a to go order I have had good experiences in the past when coming to this restaurant but because of this experience I will never go there again.... After all this frustration I called the one on Happy Valley they answered right away took my order and my fiance went to pick it up this restaurant is a joke I will never go here again
(1)Marina M.
Our experience was...odd. There were plenty of tables but we still had to wait 10 minutes to be seated, the hostess literally didn't look up at us once. She just kinda grunted that it'd be a minute & to have a seat while we wait...okaaaaaay. When we finally got to our table our server was very sweet. Food came fast & tasted great. It got a little weird when I needed a to-go box. The table next to us & I both asked for boxes, she went to them, put their food in the boxes, put the boxes in a bag & sweetly handed it to them...us...well, she just kinda set the boxes on our table & walked off. I found it really odd that she so sweetly bagged up their meal but couldn't even wait 2 seconds to say, "here you go" while putting them on our table. I just found it very strange & a little rude.
(3)Mamma W.
Went to the Glendale location on a Sunday night and it was pretty busy so we sat at the bar. The two male bartenders were friendly, efficient and helpful. We both had the rosemary chicken which was just all right . Basically chicken breast ( kinda foamy tasting) in a garlic and lemon-buttery sauce with garlic mashed potatoes over raw spinach. $14.95. Would have been much better with the spinach sauteed and less sauce. It's hard to find a meal not drenced in sauce at Olive garden and I ordered this meal thinking it would be lighter but it wasn't. Service was excellent and food mediocre.
(3)Ashley T.
I love Olive Garden. Like a lot. I've been to this specific one a couple times this year like this past Valentine's Day (2014). I was expecting a mad house since I didn't call ahead but to my relief the wait was maybe 15 minutes since it was just my boyfriend and I. Not just that, but we got a really nice, somewhat secluded, and low lit booth away from the families and kids dining in. It was just a section with quiet couples. Amazing. Their food is the best Italian that I can always count on.
(5)Ron G.
Of course it is crowded on a Friday night. We sit at the bar instead of waiting 30+ minutes. The bar tender Jason was a rock star behind the bar. He was able to take orders, prepare drinks, answer staff and patrons questions without missing a beat. Awesome time and if you go to the bar ask for Jason.
(5)Mike H.
Admittedly, we are fans of Olive Garden because of the good and plentiful food for the reasonable cost. This location is no different....everything was great. However, we wanted to mention the server, Kathryn, who was simply outstanding! She pointed out the new duo meals, which are delicious and inexpensive...checked in with us frequently, but not too much...and was very polite and attentive to my elderly father, who is hard of hearing, and will talk the ear off anyone who listens. She was very patient with him and all in all, was one of the best servers we've had in a long time.
(5)Sam H.
Poor service. After a long wait, the waiter brought out all our food at once, with the exception of the appetizer and water. We got our water AFTER asking about it and the appetizer. We were told the appetizer should be out soon! The bread sticks were cold and dry. The soup was only warm, not hot. As we left, the hostess never noticed, not even the usual thank you or have a good afternoon....they were too busy talking to each other to notice I guess.
(1)Jean S.
For a chain restaurant it is one of my favorites. I have to be very careful especially with pasta due to diabetes. I was there twice in the last 3 weeks. The first time the all you eat salad was like it was laying around for hours, very soggy. I ate it anyway (my bad, should have said something I know they would make it right). I do like their new Ziosk on the table, you can order right there, call your server and pay your bill all at once. That is definitely a big plus for me! The second time was last week. Had the chicken flatbread and the minestrone soup. Cant go wrong with any of their soup. Hot and tasty in any season. All in all I will be back to any of their restaurants.
(4)Dean M.
went to this restaurant the service is good but the food was dry like it had been setting to long. I've had better at there other olive garden restaurants
(2)Loretta B.
Tried to make reservations for my daughters 34 th birthday on a Sunday night but was told they don't take reservations. So we were there at 6:00 pm and were seated at 6:30. I took my server aside And asked for a full terrimisu for our birthday dessert with candles to celebrate at the end of our dinner. No problem he said. Our dinner was hap hazard, slow, and at the end the second server plopped down 9 servings of terrimisu on a foil tray for our dessert! No plates, candles, forks. No bags for our to go dinners and just left. Got the manager over and he apologized for the poor service and the little dessert as it takes 2 hours to thaw a full plate of terrimisu. Long story short... Bad service for a large party. Do not go here after 5:00 pm!!!

I've been here a few times and the food is pretty good. The service is usually pretty fast and the waiters are friendly. Today though this olive garden really disappointed. My girlfriend and I walk in around 2:00 on Saturday and I was expecting a litrle bit of a wait but this was just stupid. The hostess took my name and handed me one of those little pagers telling me it would be 10-15 minutes. Pretty reasonable on a busy afternoon. After about 20 minutes I notice a man is talking to the hostess about he and his family of 5 are still waiting to be seated and have ben skipped over by multiple parties. The hostess says she doesnt have his name on the computer but he is obviously holding a pager and had been waiting for awhile. The hostess. Had a couple more complainta of people waiting from people being skipped and just as I was getting impatient my girlfried went up and asked if the same problem had happeded to us and it had. My biggest problem with this isnt the computer its that the hostess has eyes and if she bothered to take a look around she would see that the same people are still standing in front of her while she continues to call other names. I waited almost half an hour for what was supposed to be 10 minutes. Thats why I rated this place the way I did. The foods good. The place is busy. Ther servers are nice. But its pricey for what it is, the wait was long, and the hostesses because there were two had no common sense.
(3)David H.
Good service and great food. Came in 15 minutes before closing. They seated us wright away without complaints.
(5)Courtney B.
I know... OG?!!? Jeremy the bartender is great ! Stopped in for lunch. Split a mixed grill. Light dressing on salad. Saved calories , got stuffed , saved money. Pretty decent meal :)
(4)rick l.

Our server Dakota was on point,he kept the drinks full and service was speedy and he was courteous. doesn't seem like much but nowadays that goes a long way. so thanks Dakota for letting us enjoy our meal.
(4)Kayla A.
I don't even know where to start. To be honest, one star isn't even deserving after the service we got last night. We arrive at 7:45.. Not too busy at that time but we chose to sit at the tables in the bar area. Drinks came promptly, but breadsticks never came? After asking our waiter he told us that we had to order them on the tablet that was sitting on the table. Never have been told this before? Must be new? So we ordered our breadsticks and some Alfredo dipping sauce off there.We also had no silverware or napkins on our table so my friend had to walk around and take some from the bin herself. Now mind you, we had two hungry kids with us! So we place our order around 8:10 and my friend orders soup. The soup and breadsticks come but not the soup that she had ordered..So we wait another 15 minutes for the right soup. At that time they told us they were completely out of Alfredo sauce and had to make more. At around 8:45 we notice everyone around us has gotten their food... And we have not. After our waiter told us 5 times "it'll only be another 3-4 minutes". By that time we had a hungry 5 year old asking what takes so long for mac and cheese and that she didn't even want it anymore. Our food finally comes around 9:05!! Seriously an hour after we order? By that time we didn't even want it anymore and asked for to go boxes, our iced tea to go and bags for our breadsticks. Clearly we were irritated and annoyed. After asking our waiter for these items he says "your gonna have to write this down or something I have bad memory". Hmm.. Isn't that your job? We got our to go boxes, got told that they were completely out of to go cups.. And never received our bags for breadsticks (which we had to take in the napkins they come tucked in). The arrowhead location continuously has bad service. This is the 3rd time since November I've been and received horrible, horrible service.I will never return to this location and will spend my money wisely somewhere else. The manager and location need to step their game up.

I typically love olive garden it has always been a go to for us when we want to dine out. Today's experience was a complete disaster. Our waitress was nice and all but my the meat on my lasagna was Uncooked and I mentioned it to her and her response was let me ask the kitchen then she didn't say anything else about it the rest of the night I had to stop a manager and explain to him and his response was we went with a new meat sauce so it just taste different. Ummmmmmmmm no its not cooked I don't think that is a different sauce taste! Then I get my bill to find I was charged for an extra meal and drink she had to take my ticket back 2 times to get it right. Now I have an additional $50 charge on my card because she ran it twice and now I have to wait for it to fall off! Horrible experience, if you are going to spend your money on a meal pick somewhere else!

I never wrote a mean review before but unfortunately, I had to for this particular Olive Garden. My family owns a restaurant and I am exceptionally sympathetic to servers and kitchen staff, but I couldn't even offer that with this restaurant. I took one of my best friends out to lunch yesterday and had an awful experience while we were there. It took a few minutes for our waitress to come to our table, but that is never a big deal to me. When she came to take our drink orders, we asked for lemon water and a cherry coke. That is a total of two drinks - why did it take longer than 15 minutes to receive? Then, our food. We ordered an appetizer (stuffed mushrooms) and as common sense goes, appetizers should be the first order to the kitchen so you can munch while waiting for your main entrees. That didn't happen. Our appetizer took over 30 minutes to arrive and for most people, I get irritated when I'm hungry. Still, I was incredibly polite to her because I know what it feels like to be a waitress (even if it's my family's place). I think our server is one of those people who might not care to satisfy friendly customers - they take advantage of kindness and give priority to customers who are screaming and yelling instead. To not continue this long rant, our entrees didn't show up for another thirty minutes. I asked about the wait two times and she said, verbatim, "yeah I don't really know what's taking so long. I forgot to put the order in but it still shouldn't take this long for lasagna." That was unprofessional and I asked to speak to a manager at that point, but, surprise surprise! The manager never showed up and we had to wait an additional 15 minutes before we decided to forget about it and leave. I didn't forget, though. It was supposed to be a nice lunch with a friend and because I didn't get to speak to a manager, I had to put a review on Yelp.

Seems every time I go to an Olive Garden, I leave completely satisfied. This location, in which I went to while visiting in the area, was no different. Like all Olive Gardens, quality of service and speed of food delivered is always in correlation to the time you patronize the restaurant. I make it a point to stay away from this and these types of places during their busiest times. I showed up this time pre-dinner on a Friday. Sat right down in the bar area, not crowded whatsoever. Kelly was my waitress, very nice and attentive. Received the customary bread sticks (yummy) and my drink. Wanted to go light and went with the Caprellini Pomodoro. Excellent as always. Began with the always delicious minestrone soup. Finished my meal and departed. Upon leaving, the lobby was PACKED! And this is why I go early. Great location, just across the street from the mall. There are a lot of other places in the area to eat, but I seem to get lucky whenever I visit Olive Garden.
(4)Sanford R.
Olive Garden is the favorite restaurant of my fiance and myself. We can't get enough of it and we even got engaged at an Olive Garden. This location is probably the one that we have visited most of all. I love it, but like most Olive Gardens the wait for a table can be long. Other than that Olive Garden is almost the perfect restaurant for us! The breadsticks and salad are amazing starters, and we almost always order an appetizer of calamari as well. So by the time we get to the main course we are already almost full from great food. Everything I have basically ever had here has been very good! We usually end up with some great leftovers. I love the Andes mints that they give at the end too!
(5)Kaci R.
I always love Olive Garden, the food never disappoints. Last time we went though, (May 2013) my husband and I had an... interesting waiter. We are a young married couple and I was very pregnant at the time. I don't know if it was because we looked young and 'cool' but he kept cussing (Which we are Christian and don't really enjoy being around that, especially when we are trying to have a romantic dinner) He kept forgetting things like our breadsticks which we didn't get until we were almost finished with our meal (I like to dip my breadsticks in my soup and didn't get to) and neglected to notice when our drinks were empty. It was a busy prom night so normally I would give him the benefit of the doubt.. But I noticed a table near us had complained about him and the store manager took over and finished serving that table to make sure they left happy. The main issue I had with our server...? As I said I was quite pregnant, which he noticed. I ordered a salad which comes in the big bowl. I finished most of it and asked for more. He said "Sure! But just so you know, that size salad usually feeds a family of four." I looked at my husband with the most shocked look as he walked away. He's lucky I wasn't one of those hormonal pregnant woman that has a hard time accepting all that extra gained weight! I was appalled! He continued to make another comment when I asked for a refill of my soup. The ONLY reason I didn't complain to a manager was that he gave us fresh soup and salad to take home with us, free of charge. I don't LIKE complaining so I decided that he had saved himself. I only wish I remembered his name.. Rude.
(3)Eric C.
It's Olive Garden so, I pretty much know what to expect in terms of food. I expect decent, consistent food at a reasonable price and this location delivers. The shining star(s) of this location are the two servers who we dealt with last night. Sandra and Andi...they were just awesome! Very friendly, not pushy, quick to refill drinks without being asked and just generally nice. I will be requesting thier section next time I'm there.

Food was good and quick, service was nice, I don't like the rooms that are off to the side so when the server bends over while helping another table, you get ass close to your face.

Of all the Olive Garden's I've been to, this one if one of the best. It can get pretty busy in the normal eating hours, so be prepared for an average of 10-30m wait. But if you come before or after the rush, the service is always great, the food is always delicious, and the wait is always good. Some of our servers have been a little hasty, but the hostesses are always so sweet. The wines are retarded-ly overpriced ($6.50 for a glass of Chateau St. Michelle Chardonnay when the entire bottle itself is only $5.00 at the Grocery Store??!?, you kidding me?!) The constant stream of bread sticks and salad makes up for some other prices though, so I guess it works out. When we go - we usually get water, split an entree, and either split an appetizer or desert, and the total bill usually comes to around $25.00 for two people. (Which isn't bad when you consider they give you slightly more portions per person when you do a split entree, and all the free yummy bread and salad).

Olive Garden... What can I say except to quote Tony the Tiger, "They're GREAAAT!" I've never had a bad experience at an Olive Garden. We went to this restaurant last week and the servers were great, the food was great and the ambiance was great. Lovin' it!!! Only one thing has ever bothered me about this chain... I am a lover of olives, especially black olives and I can eat them by the basketful. Why does a chain that professes to be a gardener of these black jewels always seem to be so stingy with them? I think they're Olive Hoarders rather than gardeners. I have never (in all my visits) seen more than TWO olives in their huge salad bowl. Come on! You're Olive GARDEN. Show us some love.... Release the olives!!!

Haven't been to this location in a very long time... we live in Scottsdale so the one on Cactus is a lot closer. We came to this location after a church program... it ran pretty late so we got there after 9 p.m. there were a few large groups ahead of us and we were a group of about 16 so we did have to wait quite a bit. We were told the servers left due to slow service earlier and they were called back so that's why we probably had to wait a while. Once we were seated we were greeted by two friendly employees and ordered our food with our drinks. The food came out pretty quickly and everything came out just as we asked. The food is always delicious and the service was great! We will definitely be back... we will try not to come so late next time!! Sorry!!

Had crappy service today . Waited 10 minutes for someone to show up to take order , wait by show up I mean I had to flag someone down to come to the table which I wasn't pleased with , then they take forever to bring our drinks , then when we finally receive our food no silverware to eat with and once again had to flag someone down to receive anything. Not too pleased with service . You would think it would be better since they aren't very busy ?

Mediocre food for dirt cheap prices great if you're going out to get s*** house drunk. Close to all sorts of other places to get that done. This location can be very busy so try to avoid weekends and after work dinner times if you are super hungry.

My boyfriend and I went this weekend and normally we love Olive Garden, but not this time. My fettuccine alfredo was more like noodles with about a tbsp of alfredo sauce for the entire dish. It wasn't hot at all, it looked like it had been sitting out waiting to be served to me, luke warm, sticky, not even enough alfredo sauce to cover all the noodles. Make sure you toss your salad, because the dressing is all on the bottom, and our lettuce seemed a bit brown. I also ordered something on the menue that said, "New" which led me to beliver they would have it, but no they didn't have it, I find that rather odd. Our waitress, Brittany I believe her name was..... well she came by our table a total of 4 times before she noticed we needed more drinks, she asked her other tables how their food was, but not once were we asked how everything was, or I would have made it a point to complain. I just didn't see the point of complaining, just wanted to get out of there. It took forever to get our check and our box and then when she did box things up, she didn't give us the breadsticks.. so I put them in myself. It would have been nice to have been asked if we wanted them. Who doesn't want the breadsticks??? For nearly $13.00 for my fettuccine alfredo to get what I would call extremely poor, we wont be going back there anytime soon.

The food was pretty good. Kind of typical especially for the price though. The service was a little lack luster but nothing really noteable to complain about.

I love the minestrone soup and salad, what makes it even better is you can eat as much as you want without getting charged! Plus, they don't ever mind about giving you a different soup after finishing your first bowl. It lost one star because I don't like anything else from Olive Garden...

I don't even know where to start with this review but I will say the one star is too high of a rating considering my experience. My mom and I met up for a late lunch arriving at 3:30ish and were seated next to the busy chaotic kitchen. I had a bad feeling about sitting in this area but went with the flow as not to be a Debbie downer. 3 months ago my mom had left her glasses behind so she asked the woman who sat us if she knew if anybody had ever turned them in by any chance. The woman was very rude with her response and I tried to brush it off. Then our waitress came by and took our drink order and promptly brought us our water. As she was about to take our order another waitress walks up to her and tells her very rudely I'm here to take over your shift....and something else I can't remember now. So the new waitress takes our order without introducing herself and with the shittiest whatever attitude and just walks away while I was still talking to her. At this point I am ready to walk out but my mom is talking to the manager and trying to find out what the hell is wrong with the wait staff. The manager assures my mom he will have a chat with the girls with the bad attitude so we decide to stay. We are both trying to be positive and let things go but then my mom caught about 6 of the waitresses talking about us on her way back to our table from a ladies room break. They never even noticed she passed right by them and they continued on making faces and staring at us from the middle of the restaurant. I am now full on uncomfortable, irritated and losing my appetite and I don't lose it very easily let me tell you. So now my back is tensing up and hurting and I am having a lot of anxiety and another waitress walks up and ask me if I am ok. I tell her no and let her know about the ghetto gossiping bitches and she tries to tell me they weren't talking about us. My mom then tells her that she knows how to read lips having had two deaf extended family members and her response was oops oh. I guess she went and told a different manager something because then he came out to talk to us and he too agrees to chat with the wait staff. Now you probably think it couldn't get any worse IT DOES! We had finally received our food and I was just about to take my first bite of food and one of the gossiping girls passed by with a big tray of dirty dishes and dishing out some dirty looks at us as well. Well needless to say the dummy dropped all the dishes. I had little shards of glass on the front of my shirt and I am sure some went in our food. One very nice waitress came and apologized and told us she was going to make all of our food fresh because glass had gone everywhere but that was the last straw. We got up and walked out and went to the Olive Garden at Metro (my review for them will be on their page). I can not believe through all of that the managers did not try to even make the situation better they just let us leave upset. I will be calling corporate on Monday because something needs to be done about the ghetto girls they have working there. My suggestion is steer clear of this Olive Garden if you are looking to have a nice experience.

I always love olive garden and there endless soup and salad... tried the new meals not a fan of them but olive garden is a old classic. This one is always busy because its across from the mall so it would be in your best interest to make a reservation if you don't want to end up waiting and hour.
