Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Always a pleasant ambiance..Our server was Nino. He was attentive. We ordered a create your own. Hubby and I ordered the same. I ordered the Gluten free Rotini with Marinara sauce and opted for the extra charge chicken Fritta. We also ordered the chicken gnocchi soup. Soup is always good and we had an equal amount of gnocchi and chicken in each bowl. The marinara sauce honestly is why I gave this 4 stars and not 5... tasted like a generic bottled sauce. It was missing seasoning. Other than that it was as expected when dinning at a chain restaurant. May come back again to try other dishes to see if the gluten free noodles will be offered as a substitute forThe pasta on those dishes.

Went to Olive Garden beside Florida Mall tonight, a little over an hour until closing.Usually I get the Tour of Italy sampler, but wanted to try something a little different tonight. So instead, I got the Chicken Tortelloni Alfredo tonight: it's a huge portion of goodness!! There were heaps of breaded chicken on top of Asiago-filled tortelloni shells. I can eat a pretty decent amount of food, but ended up only taking down about 35% of my plate, the rest I ended up boxing up to-go.My wife ordered the eggplant Parmesan, and it was very good... lots of eggplant flavor and the breading wasn't overpowering. Our 2 teenaged daughters shared 1 order of the chicken parmigiana... all 3 of them had leftovers and couldn't finish their plates.Each of our entrees came with an unlimited '1st course', which meant that my wife had the chicken gnocchi, and the girls shared a bowl as well. I ordered the salad, and the server brought out a massive bowl of lettuce, pepperoncini's, croutons, black olives, onions, and a sweet vinaigrette that probably could have served 10 people. We did receive breadsticks but maybe because it was so late, these were kind of dry and weren't very fresh.We also ordered the calamari for our appetizer, which came with 2 sauces: the white sauce seemed to go better with the calamari than the marinara did, but this is pretty subjective. The calamari was cooked very well: it wasn't overcooked, and it wasn't all breading whenever you bit down.This restaurant was very clean, and the staff was very courteous and professional. Our server in particular was acutely attentive, refilling our water often, and quick to collect unused plates.Desserts, I'm sure, would have tastes great, but we just didn't have it in us at this point. We walked away with 2 bags of leftovers, yet our meal came out to less than $80.

When it comes to a quick and easy lunch, you just can't go wrong with Olive Garden! I don't eat here as much as I used to, but it's an easy affordable lunch when you can step out of the office! Service was quick and friendly, and we were seated right away for our small group. We all opted for the endless soup, salad, and breadsticks so we could fill up on delicious soup before going back into the icebox that is our office! My favorite is the minestrone soup! Love the broth and how it's filled with plenty of greens, tomatoes, and beans. Makes me feel that much better when I have an extra breadstick At the end of lunch/dinner you have a kiosk on the table that you can check out at or add another order in if you'd like. I appreciate that they have the option to split checks by item, or down the middle so you can get in and out without having to stop a server.

I work nearby and get catering from them occasionally. Always a good experience. I was picking up some food yesterday and they were running a few minutes behind so someone came to my car, gave me the heads up, apologized and gave me an ETA. Her name is Yoli and she was super professional and friendly (like genuinely nice not just customer service nice). She reassured me that my order was a priority. A simple apology for the inconvenience really goes a long way and she did that. I got my food sooner than predicted and was on my way.

Came in for lunch today and left full and happy. The lunch specials are a great value, and they always load you up with endless salad, breadsticks and soup. (I love the minestrone!)Coming in at lunch, the food tastes fresher and more savory. And the mini chocolates at the end are always a perfect touch.

My family and I visited here for dinner and we all got the soup and salad which was delicious and very filling. Bernard, our server was very attentive and had a positive attitude the whole time. He definitely ensured a positive experience and we will be back!Thanks Bernard

I absolutely love coming to Olive Garden serves is always good. So I was very disappointed with my serves on 01/07/2024 around 1:45pm. I was seat with my server Amber very nice. Its what I over heard her and another server talking about. "I gave my ex-boyfriend Herpes type 2 because Amber herself has it as she said" And both started to laugh as it was a joke. I felt disgusted. Not to mention this person with herpes type 2 and probably has herpes type 1 is handling my food. Seeing as it was a joke I don't know what else they do in the back. Eating off plates or whatever. Also servers smelt like marijuana. I honestly would never come back and eat here again. Probably just go to another location.

Went in for dinner and ordered chicken parm and ordered chicken Alfredo to take home to my daughter. I was absolutely floored when I made it home and opened her order to find they had taken half a breast of chicken and then cut that in half then slicked it & charged me $6 for it. What a bunch of bs I called the location and asked for a manager but after being on hold for 20 minutes I said screw it. I felt scammed I'll just be honest

The cutlery was dirty, and the replacement was tge same. I had to ask for a damp cloth to clean them, so I could eat... The only reason to eat there is for their refreshing salad and bread on a loaf.

Amazing food and our server Nick was wonderful! So kind and always checked on our table and made sure we had everything we needed! Definitely a must go Olive Garden location when coming to Orlando.
