The Olive Garden is not the most authentically styled or the best made food, but their "factory" dining is satisfying and flavorful for the everyday. I particularly enjoy, the Zuppa Toscana, a spicy sausage/potato soup. Of course the all-you-can-eat salad is always filling. Entrees are generally pedestrian, but since the company's trying to improve their image, they've added several dishes that have proven to be very satisfying. In particular, the chicken marsala or the pork filletino are good choices. The waitstaff at this Glendale location is usually on the ball and solicitous, but not obnoxious. This restaurant does get very busy on weekends, so be patient if you have to wait.
Pros: decent food
Cons: parking can be hard
