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'm so disappointed with my experience here. We ordered the choose three sampler (mozzarella sticks, stuffed mushrooms, and calamari) which was good. Both me and my boyfriend ordered the seafood Alfredo, which we always get. While waiting we got our salad and breadsticks. The breadsticks were cold and hard, the salad was okay. Than our dinner came, completely terrible I took one bite and put my fork right down, my boyfriend took a couple and decided he wasn't eating it either. Our waitress came over and took the food and since it was Sunday and we were trying to go home to catch the football game I decided to get food to go to eat at home. The manager did take both plates off because we did not eat it but than I get home and opened the chicken and shrimp carbonara to eat and it was completely plain. Hardly any sauce just plain and dry spaghetti(see picture). I'm completely disappointed, never had this problem before.

Olive Garden just isn't very special or authentic tasting. I used to love this place when I was a kid but then I grew up. The only thing I actually like are the soup, salad and bread sticks.

Sunday Family dinner. We had the lasagna, Tour of Italy, fettuccine Alfredo, and fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms. We also had a sampler with calamari, fried ravioli and the stuffed mushrooms. We've had chicken gnocchi soup, toscana soup and Caesar Salads with our meals. Overall, food was good, we all enjoyed it. The gnocchi soup was so good that me and my son got second bowls. I think we enjoyed our Sunday dinner at the O.G more because of our waitress Miss Kayla, a very nice lady with a bright smile. She checked us frequently to make sure we had everything we wanted, and with all the requests I added, which could be a little painful, she served our table with a wholehearted smile and brought everything we needed very quickly. We will definitely go back again, especially if we can have Miss Kayla. 3 star restaurant, 4 star with unlimited gnocchi soup, 5 star with Miss Kayla!!

WARNING STAY AWAY!!!!!!! This was a refurbished vet clinic as it still has the stench of cats and dogs. The lunch was horrible...the lasagna was not up to par in both taste and in appearance. The kids spaghetti was worse. The lemonade had a foal taste.......it must have been the water that was unfiltered because it was a refurbished vet clinic. Stay away from this restaurant....don't bother trying to have a good Italian meal with friends and family you will be disappointed.....save your money for somewhere you are going to enjoy! WARNING STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

Had Fathers Day dinner here with my wife and youngest daughter. It had been awhile since we visited last and the menu changed. Anyway, it's Olive Garden. The food is decent but not spectacular. The service was typical big chain average; not great, not terrible. No real complaints. Why only 3 stars? It's just average. But we came here because it had been awhile and when you're in the mood for Italian, this is available and a known. Of course we'll visit again when we have a hankering for Italian.

The location is kinda hidden. This is a good thing in my point of view. I like to go here than the one in Arundel Mills Mall that can be a long wait to be seated and served. The food is consistent to Olive Garden's standards. I'm satisfied especially with my favorite zuppa that is unlimited but I keep it to 2-3 bowls of serving or else I will be really really sorry.

We each bought the $12.99 special in our group of four. Waiter very attentive, kept coming back. Free wine sample. Not as good ambience as Macaroni Grill but good value and food.

I've been pretty hard on Olive Garden, it has consistently been one of the worst chain restaurants. Yes, the salad and breadsticks are decent, but the rest of the meal is usually pretty disappointing, bordering on insulting. We did have a fairly decent experience recently, it appears that Darden is improving the chain. The service was very good and I thought the five cheese ziti al forno was not that bad, not great, but fairly flavorful with a decent portion size. The chicken parm was also halfway decent. I can't in good faith give it 3 stars, but it's in the 2.5 range. One annoying new addition was this video screen placed at our table that tries to sucker the kids into playing video games at the table and if you don't allow, it flashes ads at you during the entire meal trying to entice you into ordering dessert and in general spending more money. I recommend turning it around. Sorry Darden, this isn't a good idea, most families are looking to have a relaxing meal together and not stare at electronic ads.

We are frequent visitors to Olive garden. We go there just for the unlimited soup and breadsticks. We love the Fettucini alfredo there.. But when we ordered Chicke Parmigiana last couple of times, it is always undercooked and the centre part of the chicken is so tough to chew and looks like it is still fozen. Serving processed food is ok but alteast make sure to cook and heat it properly.

On the way back from Autobahn we stopped to have dinner here. Dinner was GREAT! My waiter was excellent. Always attentive & pleasant. Our meals were delicious and my daughter couldn't stop saying out much she enjoyed herself. Great Night

As usual, service and food is great. Only leaving this view to warn people! The tablets on the table are not free, use will cost $$$. They charged us $2 to play a game which was disappointing because no one told us before we started and there was no "fine print" to warn is.

One of the worst olive garden I went.It took 15 min to just a server to come to our table and server doesn't even bother to explain their menu they care to clean some table which is already clean and not to bother about customer sitting in the table.I ll totally avoid

Haven't been to olive garden in a very long time and received a gift card so of course I went. Shannon was veey nice and explained the menu very well, we also got a sample of wine which was tasteful. I ordered chicken Alfredo and added broccoli. She immediately came back to the table and let me know they we're out which I appreciated. Good and service was very good. Thank you Shannon ;)

I have walked out of this restaurant three times due to poor service and for the servers displaying poor hygiene. The first time I walked out after seeing our server delivering our food while carrying the tray on her shoulder, her unkempt hair was touching our food. I told the manager but I have seen it happen a few times after that. The second time I walked out after not receiving our food, they forgot to deliver it to us. The third time was due to seeing one their servers who was standing behind the greeting area incessantly scratching her head and arms in front of her manager and customers waiting to be seated. That was the last straw and will not return to this restaurant. The management needs to pay more attention to the details to avoid potentially making their customers sick.

It had been 10 years since I went to an Olive Garden. We went today and were very disappointed. We spent a lot of time waiting for our server to bring drinks, salad, and breadsticks. Then as soon as this course arrived, our meal was out 2 minutes later. We had a mountain of plates we were trying to eat over and around. The salad was particularly pathetic. The commercial on TV shows a bowl of salad with tomatoes, carrots, olives, and onions. Our pathetic bowl was full of iceberg lettuce, a few carrot scraps, and a couple of token olives. No parmesan cheese. Very little flavor. I guess it was good to each some roughage, but it lacked nutrition, flavor, or visual appeal. Making a great Italian salad is incredibly easy. The overall value of our experience was very bad. I won't be going back for another 10 years.

I visited this location with a friend last night. We were seated right away at a clean table. We were offered wine, which we declined. We ordered the risotto bites appetizer, the stuffed chicken marsala and the Tour of Italy. Both were quite good, especially my chicken marsala. Possibly the best part of the meal was our server, Linda. I can't remember the last time I had better service in a restaurant. She checked on us just the right amount of times (not inattentive, but not smothering either), made sure we had everything we needed at all times, and actually asked us what we wanted more of in our salad! During the course of our meal, she brought us two salads that were heavy on the olives and croutons and light on the tomatoes, just like we wanted. She heard us talking about how much we enjoyed the breadsticks, so at the end of the meal, she brought us each a few of them to take home. If you eat out often in the DMV, you know how rare these experiences can be. Bravo, Linda!

Myself and two coworkers ordered three "pronto" lunches here as we only had a one hour lunch. 55 minutes later we were still waiting for our entrées. It. After finally finding our waiter and inquiring about our meals, we were told that one of the entrees was made incorrectly and they were waiting on that. We complained to the manager, one of us got a free meal, the other two were comp'ed 25%. Still not worth it for a one hour wait for what turned into Olive Garden carry out that made us late.

Went to Olive Garden because someone gave me a gift card and as we walked into the restaurant it smelled like a wet rotten towel. Order fried ravioli and it came hard as a rock. My wife ordered three cheese ziti and got it with meat sauce, was in hurry so had no time to send back. Will never return to this Olive Garden again.
