Italian Garden

From the outside, it looks pretty normal. When you walk in, the smell of the food puts your senses in overdrive. Sure, the interior is a little drab and outdated, but clean and maintained. A glance at the menu gives you hope, as there is quite a selection of tasty dishes, described to the T, leaving nothing to the imagination. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi over linguini, my wife, the Linguini with Clam Sauce, and my oldest daughter, the Chicken Marsala. Our salads came out first. Nicely put together greens and veggies, with the best tasting balsamic vinagrette ive ever tasted. Next came our appetizer, the Potato Skins. Very well prepared, steaming hot, fresh and delicious. Smothering in cheese and bacon pieces. Finally, out came our main courses. Beautifully prepared, steaming hot, freshly prepared FROM SCRATCH, and a perfect portion. As i spun my fork into the first taste, my excitement was overwhelming. I've been in the south for 4 years, and have had nothing but disappointment from just about every "italian" restaurant ive been to. Until now. I put the fork in my mouth, my eyes opened widely, my taste buds jumped, and the hair on the back of my neck stood straight up. Had i just tasted that right? My God, that was the best italian dish ive had in a LONG time. I loaded my fork again, and again, in relief. After that, i had to try a mouthful of my wife and daughters meals, all exactly as well prepared. That Shrimp Scampi was the best ive tasted, ever. By far. Even being from the italian epicenter of the northeast (New Haven, CT- Wooster Street) I was shockingly impressed. I have found my new italian restaurant of choice. Italian Garden, you are my new best friends. I cannot wait to try the pizza, and all the other delectible dishes advertized on your vast menu. And the prices? The Shrimp Scampi was $12.99. You'd pay more than that at Olive Garden, and well...its Olive Garden.

OMG. I normally get take out from here. The greek salad is awesome and a huge portion. It can be two servings. Order takers are helpful and attentive.

Decent food and large portions. Friendly service and decent pricing. Better than most places to eat in Chester

The food is good especially the garlic cheese bread and yall go see my baby sister Lacey and Kimberly they will hook yall up

Best Italian food in Chester! Great service and good tasting food. Just need to replace their carpet in the restaurant.

Very slow. Food flavorless, (we got chicken fettuccine, a calzone, a stromboli) looked delicious but taste lacking. We're out of coke, tea was nasty and was very expensive. With fettuccine ...one of us got only one very small piece of garlic bread. The other order had one decent size one split in half but only had garlic butter on one half. No silverware or napkins. Would not go back.

It has been a while since I went here to get pizza. Now I remember why. The food is mediocre at best. But now they charge a 3% fee for using a card to pay. There was no mention of this when I called in to order. I didn't see any signs posted. I wonder if they told the people that were in there eating before they get the check? Only 10 people in there. Now you know why. It's also why the reviews are so old. For all I know I got scammed. Doesn't matter. I'll not return. Another mediocre restaurant in Chester. So sad.

Easy ordering, I double down on previous comments of "multiple orders not arriving altogether for party 1+". Food is not memorable, just there. Oh and please update your hours, 2024 bruh

doesnt look like much and it really isnt.. seats have holes in them and are very uncomfortable, sticky,i'll and hard. fries seem to be still frozen and chicken tenders seem faker than mcdonalds meat. my soda was flat and the salt chucks was too big. tablecloth is sticky and looks old and outdated as well as the restaurant does. service very slow and when i look up there are no employees around and when there are i hear them watching tiktoks. the owner was laying down in the booth with his feet kicked up looking like he was giving birth. smelled musty as you walked towards front.

Food is good. Owner is extremely rude and toxic to everybody there working and also eating. He is loud and abrasive and everybody who works there seems miserable because of him.
