It's so frustrating how popular these chain restaurants are in the Middletown area. When Cosimo's is right down the block, I can't imagine why anyone eats at the Olive Garden. For the same price, you can have a unique and gourmet experience. This one is actually one of the worst Olive Gardens I've been with as well. Bland and overcooked pasta, way too busy, service not good. I only go when I lose the lunchtime group vote and I'd be thrilled if people would realize this is not actually a good restaurant! Try Cosimo's or Nina's for a superior lunch or dinner.
Pros: familiar menu?
Cons: service, food, price, long wait
