Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

food was delicious and servicevery good. A nice atmosphere and I like the to go bags for leftovers.

Our kids loved dining at Olive Garden when we lived in Lynnwood, WA. After moving to Irvine, CA, we go there regularly for the lunch special. The Irvine location is the best one in Orange County. The service is consistently excellent, making each visit a pleasant experience.Our kids enjoy the kids' menu and love dipping the signature breadsticks into the Zuppa Toscana and Chicken Gnocchi soups. They always say it's so tasty.I highly recommend it for a delightful family meal!

Bomb!This is the Olive Garden in Irvine. It was pretty empty when we went. Sweet! No wait at all. The service was great. Seriously, the minute we needed a refill on something- they were on it. The food was delicious. I loved my tortellini with shrimp. It was soooo creamy and cheesy. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. I also ordered a slice of cheesecake. It was very good. The appetizer with cheese filled pasta, is my favorite. It's the best. Ambiance was calm and relaxing. This is a great location.

I saw my old review and it's been a good 10 yrs since I got the endless pasta bowl. I didn't remember the $4 add in proteins. I thinks worth it. I highly recommend the chicken fritta or the meatballs. The meat sauce was my fav followed by the creamy mushroom. Service was great. Until next time endless pasta bowl!

The service here is wicked incredible.. Like I'm not an avid Olive Garden goer, but this restaurant experience was top notch. They obviously have a great vibe between staff and management and strive to be the best so I really appreciated how attentive everyone was and how top tier our server was. Joey was our main server and I was stoked with him! He was enthusiastic about the menu and really knew how to chime in to see if we needed anything in a respectful way. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience!

This Olive Garden is excellent in service,food and cleanliness. Our waitress Emily kept coming back asking how we are doing, if we need refills on our soups, salad or breadsticks. Ambiance is lovely, Family friendly . Food was served right away. Their supervisor even came to our table making sure we were doing ok. Can't wait to come back. Thank you

I can't believe I never got around to writing a review for the always eventful unlimited pasta deal.It was pretty packed so there was a short wait that felt like eternity since I was so excited to devour a bunch of pasta. This deal includes so many items, such as soup, salad, breadsticks, and of course the pasta options. I mainly stuck with the fettuccine alfredo as that is my favorite. The meat sauce rigatoni was decent but alfredo was definitely the winner here. Our server was attentive and there wasn't a significant wait between rounds. Plenty of space in the dining area. Is it the best pasta you'll ever taste? Unlikely, but a great deal and you'll certainly leave feeling full. I'm always willing to visit when this special is on.

Plenty of seats in the restaurant and we only waited about 10 minutes before getting seated. It's dimly lit so it was definitely more of a dinner date vibe, but I went with a group of friends. Our server was wonderful with his service! He checked on us consistently to make sure our breadsticks were refilled and everything was tasting okay.I got the chicken fettucine alfredo with the zuppa toscana soup. The soup was just how I remembered it and my friends at the table thought it tasted great as well; I loved the bits of sausage and potato, and there was a mild kick to it. The fettucine alfredo is just your classic fettucine alfredo; it was good but nothing extraordinary. Chicken tasted good and perfectly cooked, and I'll always opt for extra cheese when the server asks. Overall a great and nostalgic experience! I would absolutely love to come back for their never ending pasta deal!!

I have not been back to Olive Garden since my childhood days of Asian parents loving to go to Olive Garden for the endless soup and salad and breadsticks. My roommates really wanted some breadsticks so we went on a Friday for a quick lunch. There were lunch combos on weekdays which I decided to order the shrimp scampi for something lighter. And I chose the chicken gnocchi soup. Our server came out shortly with our food and shredded endless cheese on our plates. The shrimp scampi was blander than I remembered, but I appreciated the chili flakes that I sprinkled on to add some spice. Overall, the interior does need some updates as all the walls and table looked really old and outdated.

If I had to grade the service here, it would have been an A+. Everyone was friendly and prompt. I also have to preface that this is not going to be a fancy upscale Italian restaurant. The restaurant looks like it hasn't had an upgrade since the 90's. When we entered the dining area, there was a smell, it was almost like a wet dog smell that was NOT pleasing to my nose but we bore through it. We ordered the calamari and some pieces were a little rubbery but overall it was okay. The Pasta e Fagioli is my absolute favorite soup. I could eat endless bowls of this with copious amounts of cheese. Now I've tried their other soups before but I always keep coming back to this.Another thing that I liked was that you could custom-make pasta. I wasn't interested in anything fancy, I just wanted a simple pasta dish with meat sauce. It definitely hit the spot and I had plenty of leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. The price point is on par considering the inflation that's happening and that all the entrees come with soup/salad and breadsticks.
