Poor excuse for Italian food / food tastes like out of a can 8/11/2007

Olive Garden is the poorest excuse for Italian food -- ever! I had a sampler platter and every item tasted the same - all seasoned alike and all were rather bland. I tried hard to eat them, but could get thru but 3 -4 bites from each item. I then set the platter aside. The waitress never asked why I did not finish (boy, I would have loved to have told her!). If you think their food is good, then I feel sorry for you (you have not lived till you have good Italian food). I was the guest of someone, and its a good thing, as i would have had a difficult time paying for what they call "food". Very bland flavors, and the food tasted like it came from cans. more

This is not Italian food!!! 2/6/2003

Olive Garden has to be the worst Italian food I've ever eaten. Our entrees came out cold, the tomato sauce taste like ragu out of a can, and the service is rude. DON'T EAT HERE Pros: NONE Cons: Tasteless Food, Poor service more

Watered down Americanized version 11/1/2002

Olive Garden is a watered down Americanized version of Italian food. This is the last place I would visit if I had a craving for Italian. I much prefer the Macaroni Grill, in Lake Mary, FL. The ambience is romantic, dimly lit, very good food, and choice of wine, service is good, and the waitresses will come to your table, and sing and sing Italian opera! (they sing beautifully) Pros: unlimited salad Cons: food isn't good, a bit pricey, slow service more

Best Italian Food??? 10/30/2002

Maybe if you live in Kentucky...Olive Garden might be good. Other wise EWWWW! Carrabba's is definately better -- Or better yet For real italian food - other than Lasana, try Cafe Positano in Apopka near Hunt Club Blvd. If you want to have an extra special night - try Allegria on Lyman ave, in Winter Park. For a large group try Buca De Beppo's and ask for the kitchen table. It's just like my grandfather's kitchen....Olive Garden...It's like MickeyD's of italian food!!! Pros: Cheap, Kid Friendly Cons: Loud, Smoking, Sterotypical italian more

NOT UP TO PAR 10/24/2002

I HAVE BEEN TO MANY OF THE AREA OLIVE GARDENS AND AT ONE TIME THEY WERE GOOD. NOT SO ANYMORE. SERVICE IS GOOD AT MOST, BUT THE FOOD IS MORE LIKE A CAFETERIA. SORRY, BUT THEY REALLY NEED TO RE-THINK THEIR BUSINESS PLAN AND GO BACK TO QUAILITY. Pros: SERVICE, PARKING, HOSTESS Cons: FOOD, QUAILITY, PRICE more

U R Kidding right??? 9/25/2002

You have got me be kidding! Olive Garden used to have a commercial about some Italian Grandmother asking for the recipe of some dish. Well if my Grandmother were alive today(and yes she is Italian) she would slap the chef there for calling that stuff good food. Yes I will eat there as it is cheap and you get a lot of food; however, if I want good Italian there are a bunch of other places that do a better job to get my money! Pros: cheap, good portions Cons: cheap tasting sauce, quality of food - low more

Olive Garden?! Are you kidding me?! 9/1/2002

Anyone who rates the Olive Garden as one of the best Italian restaurants DOES NOT know real Italian food. I've lived in Italy and to say such things is a disgrace. I think you need to venture outside of the Fazzoli's, Olive Gardens, and Macaroni Grills to find true Italian food. more

Good Eats Are Hard To Find 8/30/2002

Eating at the Olive Garden is like eating a frozen dinner from the store. Infact, I like some frozen dinners more. They do have excellent service though. And thier cheesy Italian decor is usually clean also. If only the food the good, and then I might make them part of family like they so suggest. Pros: Clean, Good Service Cons: Food, Cost more

Olive Garden has come a long way in the past few years. The food and service continues to be the leaders amongst Italian restaurants.

America's Italian Dynamo 7/23/2002

If I need an "Italian" fix, I know I can always be satisfied at Olive Garden. The bread sticks and alfredo sauce are not to be beat. I would recommend it to anyone who wants an affordable, enjoyable meal. Pros: good food, inexpensive, take-out Cons: crowded, not enough parking more
