Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

I’m giving 5 stars because of our wonderful waitress, Haime. She was on top of everything and constantly checking if things were okay or if needed any help. If it weren’t for her my rate would be 3 – 4 stars because of the food.
My «create your own» pasta wasn’t the best. The noodles dried up like it had been left in the window for a while before it came out. And my sausage had to be brought out separately that I ordered on the pasta that was forgotten about. (Kitchen’s fault, not our waitress) I’m not picky so I just asked for an extra side of sauce so I could just mix everything.
Haime, you go girl! Fantastic service and you were so nice and awesome!

Yeah yeah we all know Olive Garden is a chain restaurant, mediocre in the eyes of many. Mostly Americanized Italian fare but you know what, I’ve never had a bad experience here and in reality, several of their dishes tastes better than some of the places that claim they offer «authentic» Italian cuisine. It’s cheaper and definitely blows Buca de beppo out of the water.
Their menu is extensive and they have a lot to offer from appetizers to desserts. For starters we always like to order their Sampler Italiano ($ 10.79) you pick 3 from a medley of apps. Calamari, stuffed mushrooms, mozzarella sticks are among our favorites. Then they offer you either soup or salad and of course their famous breadsticks. I always get the Zuppa Toscana, it’s nothing special but it’s not horrible either.
Not really a big fan of their pastas but I do like their chicken dishes. Among the ones I favor are the Garlic Rosemary chicken ($ 12.49) and most recently the Chicken Piccata ($ 16.99). It’s very well balanced and all the flavors blend harmoniously. The main reason I like coming here though is their dessert, particularly Zeppoli (Italian donuts) $ 6.99 they are soooo addicting! I especially like to get it with both the raspberry and chocolate dipping sauces. Ugh so bad yet so good!
This is the closest one to us therefore our go to place when the mood strikes. Service is always pleasant, though sometimes untimely and the wait can be a bit of a hassle at times. Even though it’s nothing fancy or even close to being authentic, this place always satiates. Overall, a favorable experience.

Apparently this restaurants policy is to seat larger parties before anyone no matter if you were there 30 minutes before them or not. Let’s see how crappy the service is…

Great service always! Great atmosphere and under great management! If anythings wrong they will have it fixed within minuites! Foods always great!

I came here for the first time in 3 years for my birthday supper only to be horribly disappointed by the quality and the manager Oscar. I ordered the berry spritzer and the first one was delicious, the second was nothing but syrup and when I sent it back a new one was not made just more was added to it still leaving it unbearably sweet. So I changed it for sangria and was horrified to find it still the same. My daughter ordered shrimp Alfredo and her shrimp was forgotten. The manager Oscar came over to the table and told me «sangria is supposed to be sweet». Because I’ve never drank it before in my 36 years. He never even mentioned the forgotten shrimp nor took off the sugar sangria that was not even drank. POOR management service!!! Never ever will I be back. Thanks for a great birthday Olive Garden.

My and husband and I frequent this location often (mainly Friday or Saturday night). To my surprise, there’s usually a wait of 5 mins or less whenever we go. This is a good thing considering the locations back in my hometown (Pembroke Pines, FL area) ALWAYS have a minimum wait of 30 mins no matter which day it is. But moving on… The food is pretty good, paired with Cabernet (as long as it isn’t too dry). The best server there is Leo! He is so chill and just plain good at what he does. He’s never disappointed us yet (except when he isn’t the server where we get seated). Over all, we always have good experiences on each visit.

Had one of the pronto lunches with salad. As always, salad and breadsticks were delicious. The pasta came in a small bowl but was a perfect lunch size. Mom had spaghetti with meat sauce and I did rainbow penne with some type of tomato sauce and it was ok.

We keep going back hoping for a great experience. The service is great but we keep getting dissappointed with some of the food items we order that are brought out at less than desirable temperature. Some of the food is served hot and satisfying BUT we always seem to get at least one item brought to the table that is practically room temperature. The plate is hotter than the food. We go back for certain favorite items and the fact that the service is great, but come on, check the food temperature before serving!

For once in my life I ate at a restaurant alone so I sat at the bar. The bartender was fast and helpful but didn’t make casual conversation. I’m not sure if it’s different in the mainland compared to Hawaii but back home I make conversation with my solo customers to help make them feel less awkward for dining in alone. He was very quick with my drink. Salad and bread sticks came out quick then shortly after my entrée, stuffed chicken Marsala, came out. Everything was great. He didn’t ask me if I saved room for dessert which was a little disappointing. Even though his serving etiquette wasn’t amazing I still tipped him $ 6 on a $ 20 tab.
Tip– everyone should tip servers AT LEAST 18% off of the original tab. If that’s too hard to figure out just do 20% or use your CELL PHONE to figure out how much tip to leave. Servers tip out other workers and make little to NOTHING on hourly pay. Be kind to your server! They bring you food and drinks.

It was ok.
Not more then that.
But. I have to compare Olive Garden to Cheese Cake Factory. CCF was better taste, better quality and cheaper.
In almost same price I had two cocktails and two appetizers in CCF. While in OG for 10 $ less I he’d no cocktails and only one appetizer.
In both I’ve bought two slices of cakes and no doubt CCF is winning big time. There is no reason why to go to OG when CCF is across the street.
The service was good though in both.

Went to Olive Garden yesterday to celebrate a birthday in the family. The servers were great, especially with our party of 15 people.
The food was good, but the only thing we found odd was one of the salad bowls that was brought to our table was only half full. The salad bowl they placed in the middle of our long table was only half full compared to the other two bowls on the ends that were filled quite generously. Maybe they need to work on their consistency when filling their bowls. We didn’t bother asking for a different bowl because the rest of the table offered theirs when we ran out.
Other than that we had a great birthday brunch at Olive Garden in Summerlin.

This location offers everything you would expect from an Olive Garden in terms of menu and ambiance. The wait staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean.
However, service here is sometimes unbearably slow. I’ve had to send food back twice for cold pasta, which was disappointing. During promotional periods like the Neverending Pasta Bowl, the wait staff seems completely bogged down and unable to give all of their customers adequate attention.
It can be a wait here because of the proximity to shopping and Red Rock, so make a reservation to be safe, especially on weekends.

I don’t mind Olive Garden very much. It is mostly the same everywhere. They are running a Unilocal check-​in deal, buy one take one for about $ 13.
The portions are too big to reasonable. We usually share a main and buy an extra salad. That feeds the two of us, with some leftovers, and the take one is about 2 or 3 servings. Lots of bang for the buck.
I did forget how much I like their salad, perfect for the hot summer, nice and light.

My girlfriend and I wanted some italian and shes been craving Olive Garden so we took the 20 minute drive over to this location.
We sat at the bar and was immdiately greeted. The bartender was very nice and helpful. We both decided on the buy one take one but we added meat (chicken and meatballs) to the food we were eating at the location. It was a extra 3 bucks each but not bad for two full meals each. We both ended up taking leftovers plus our take one meal. I like this location the best.
We ordered wine Roscato and I am not a red wine drinker but it was really good. We thought about buying a bottle but at $ 25.00 no way, we ended up going to Total Wine and got a bottle for $ 12.00.

The 1^st Olive Garden Mom and I have been to that was actually good. Beautifully designed, free wifi-​how can you beat free wifi? Well, you can add great customer service and delicious food on, and you create amazing experiences. Everyone from the front to our table was sincerely friendly. Amanda, our hostess, was both friendly and attentive.
And it’s in a beautiful location.

I get about a once a year craving for Olive Garden, and yesterday was that day. And it was pretty good. My server was excellent. I wish I remembered names better. But she was very attentive and very nice. I ordered the ravioli and it was good. The breadsticks and salad are still the best thing about the place. The place was clean. The manager came around and asked if I needed anything to please bring it to his attention. I thought that was nice. Overall, it was a good experience. The two reasons I didn’t give it five stars, is the wine list is not good. I had a Coppola Cab, which was not great. And the parking is terrible. They seem to share a lot with a BJ Brewhouse and another restaurant. Olive Garden is sandwiched between the two. I went at 4:30pm, and it was full. I can just imagine what it is like at normal lunch and dinner times.

Seriously? Who wouldn’t love great service? This is one of the only Olive Garden’s I’ve been where it seemed like the staff is trained to be super customer friendly. Perhaps a Vegas thing?
Either way, the couple times I’ve been here it seemed that everyone went out of their way to make it a great dining experience. Food, ehhh… same stuff, but more and more expensive over the years. But location? Makes a huge difference.
Also noted: The Beard of Knowledge from Pawn Stars has been sighted here as an extra bonus!

We love Olive Garden! I don’t know the last time I went to an Olive Garden, but it doesn’t matter because it did not disappoint.
We were greeted by our server Cisco in a timely manner and he was wonderful.
We ordered a boat of Alfredo to go with our breadsticks (you must do this) but when we got the breadsticks, they weren’t that fresh. We did go at 10pm on a Friday, but it was decently full when we walked in… I just thought they would have been better. Anyway, not a big deal.
We ordered the fresh salad which is my favorite and add extra peppers!
After the salad and breadsticks were through, we ordered ANOTHER boat of Alfredo (I know, but it was our cheat meal) and extra breadsticks. These breadsticks were cooked to perfection. And I mean, like soft and salty and buttery and perfectly dipped with a white cream sauce.
I then ordered the steak Gorgonzola Alfredo… Omg how this dish hits the spot every time! It’s been years since I’ve had it and it’s still perfect. My dinner date ordered the tour of Italy, which is if course, another classic and was perfectly cooked. I had to try some of his chicken Parmesan ! I love OG and we will be back!

It’s that time of year, all you can eat pasta bowl, $ 9.99. My husband loves this and we always try to make it in during this time. I think this is our first time at this location.
We order an appetizer, stuff mushroom caps with crab meat and breading, spicy calamari, and toasted beef and pork ravioli. It was nice and crispy, not much spice? But a good combination.
For my entrée I got the braised beef tortelloni Tender sliced short ribs and portobello mushrooms tossed with asiago-​filled tortelloni in a basil-​marsala sauce. Very tender and juices were butter and rich, enjoyed it! I also got the standard all you can eat salad and bread sticks.
My husband got soup, zuppa toscana, Spicy sausage, fresh kale and russet potatoes in a creamy broth. And then the spicy three meat sauce, with meatballs and spaghetti pasta. He could only eat one bowl today, it was a generous portion!
To wrap things up we shared a pumpkin cheese cake, a good ending to a gereat meal, good service, great food and friendly staff.

March 24^th Came in with my family to enjoy a nice sit down meal with peace and quiet on the patio. To find a rowdy young boy running around barefoot driving us crazy. Then his guardian thought it would be a funny to tease him and cause him to scream and yell outside.
I asked our waitress for a gluten free menu and it took about 10 minutes for them to find it. Then when they handed it to me there was no prices listed, so it was not a menu it was a piece of paper with options. At the end of the night I found out my dish was $ 18 for hard asparagus that was not edible, overcooked sirloin when I asked for medium (there was no hint of pink), and chicken that lacked any flavor. The mashed potatoes was the only thing that seemed good. I can’t believe how long it took for the bill when it came.
I guess the next visit we will come earlier than 6:30, I was silly to think we could enjoy a nice meal while watching the sunset. I WILL be taking my allergy med and ordering something else that is worth the value.
