Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

I was there with a couple of friends and my wife. No wait on Saturday noon time. We were seated right away. The waiter was awesome. He had several tables and still had time to come around often to check up on us. Great service. We order a pint of Alfredo sauce to dip our bread sticks in, 2 soups and 2 salads, 2 ordered the Tour of Italy, another person ordered chicken Alfredo, and I ordered chicken scampi. Everything was delicious. They kept coming with warm bread sticks. Good atmosphere and good service. Will definitely come back to this Olive Garden again.

I went here for the first time ever in my life. Olive Garden is nasty and a disgrace to Italian food. I honestly don’t understand how this place is always so packed? Corporate chain I guess. The food is bland, way too salty, and not appetizing at all.
Another corporate chain fail. Yuck.

Dinner was hot and delicious and pretty quick for a busy Friday. The waiter was on his game. I had a great experience.

First time back from a not so stellar experience.
I am amazed with our server Alex… She’s got to be the most on point server I’ve had in years…
Drinks were ¹⁄₃ full and new ones were placed in front of us with out us even asking.
Food was perfectly timed from apps to entrée to dessert.
Funny and personable yet still got her job handled… My god… I believe I will be coming back much more just because of her!!!
Olive Garden, you’ve got a great employee!!!

I love the food at Olive Garden, although the service can be a bit slow at times. I am really glad that an Olive Garden restaurant is located near my house which makes it quite convenient.

My family and I love Olive Garden. I was so relived to have the server we did twice, it allowed us to feel welcomed and being familiar with staff is always a great thing. James was super nice and took time to explain new dishes to us and that was appreciated. We have two little girls and he was super nice and friendly with them which was great. We have only been there a few times but from now on we would like to be seated with him again, it really adds to our dining experience. Great job LV Olive Garden!

Won’t be back anytime soon, service was horrible, food tasted like it came straight out of the freezer, and just an overall poor meal. This location is not a good representation of Olive Garden.

I would rate this place a higher rating. But the only concern of mine is the hostess that we had a this location was absolutely horrid! She for got what we ordered as she did not write down what we ordered at all. Brought us water but once again forgot that we ordered (2 sodas). She was a young blond haired girl, I believe her name was Amanda as she told us that about 10 times.
She seemed nervous as she looked like she did not know what she was doing. I do believe you should get someone undercover in this job. Especially on this waitress she is incapable of this job and should be doing the dishes and not hosting.

Not the best Olive Garden. I prefer the one in Henderson. The lady ordered a virgin daiquiri and it had liquor in it. It was the first time she ever tasted liquor in her life. One of the waiters had an attitude. After tonight I think women are more suited to be restaurant servers. Food was just OK not very hot.

great food! We had Jason as our server and his service was excellent!!! ambience is amazing!!!

Service was horrible and she kept forgetting our table. I ordered no onions on the salad and it was served to the table next to us. My food came out very dry and not hot and that’s not acceptable at all. Our waitress didn’t come over to our table to check on us I had to get a refill from someone else.
Overall a horrible experience

I’m little disappointed on my food, normally its been great with other locations but this location isn’t great, I’ve been here twice now and every time I’m here I feel like they don’t take good care of my meals, my stuffed mushrooms were extremely dry and normally have some sauce under them but this is disappointing, I don’t think I’ll come back to this one :/

Back in 2004 when I became a vegetarian, Olive Garden was my favorite restaurant. Why? Those $ 6.99 AYCE soup, salad, and bread sticks were perfect for a high school kid’s budget! More importantly, Olive Garden’s vegetarian minestrone soup fit my newbie diet. To this day, I’ll still go back to OG for the lunch special, especially when I get emailed a coupon to enjoy it for only $ 5 (fan club perks)! Bread sticks and even the soup can be hit or miss, but for a $ 5 AYCE, I’ll take it.
The location in Centennial is my go-​to OG. Service is usually above average. Food wise, OG is on par with any other major American restaurant chain. Entrees are pretty mediocre, so I stick with my usual.
PRO TIP: Olive Garden gives Veterans a free entrée from a selected menu and dependents get 10% of their meals too on Veterans Day.
Worth a Return Visit?
Only for lunch! Unless I’m dragged here on a couple date. Which happens more than you’d think. Hmph.

The look of this olive garden is some much warmer than the older ones. Plus it feels more upscale.
The place is super clean. We come here often and over the course of that time we have had a few issues. But anytime there was an issue the managers fix it quick and they are always coming by the tables.

I use to love this place but the past two times I’ve been there I was very disappointed the food was cold it looked like it was sitting out for a while. My frozen drinks where not frozen anymore when they brought it to my table it looked like the ice had melted already the presentation was pretty bad.
The service was not the best. I would not be coming back again at least to not this location even tho is 5min away from my house I rather do the drive and go to the Cheyenne location.

We’ve been here since it opened and now that Sammy’s took a turn for the worse this is our new second home.
Michael is a great manager and the staff is great. We always have fun here. This location is clean, modern and family oriented. Arrivederci!

We visit this location often. They are usually able to check you in quickly and get you seated. The servers are well trained and efficient so food will be in your belly quickly. The food is standard Olive Garden offering’s with deals and specials being offered through there email and text programs. I recommend signing up to see if any deals might influence you to check out this location.

This spot was selected for our belated Christmas get together with the kiddos and family this past Friday. It’s a solid place for a family get together and they make sure the kids get their crayons and coloring books to stay entertained while the food is being prepared. A busy Friday night for a table of four plus two kids equated to a 35 min wait. They only take reservations 2 hours ahead of your planned arrival (read: call ahead of time and not last minute like I did).
Our table ordered a variety that includes their smoked mozzarella fonduta appetizer (melted smoky blend of a variety of cheese served with slices of Tuscan bread– yum), seafood fettuccine alfredo (w/​shrimp and scallops), the kids got spaghetti and meatballs with extra marinara to dip breadsticks, and I ordered their unlimited Zuppa Toscana (bits of spicy sausage w/​kale and chunks of potatoes in a creamy broth) and breadsticks (so worth it) along with peach iced tea (sweetened). The food was good and no one at the table was disappointed. Our meals were solid carb-​loaded comfort food and it was exactly what I expected– A-​OK.
TIP: EAT IN THE BAR (21+). When my husband and I come here by ourselves we easily scoot in and are seated in the bar and eating in less than ten/​fifteen minutes (even in the middle of the Friday/​Saturday night dinner rush). It’s speedy and the right choice if you’re starvin’ Marvin.

Dad went olive garden and got take out. They forgot his and offered to send him a $ 10 gift card as an apology. He instead kind of the gift card sent to me,(a college student in Reno). They were so sweet and wrote me a letter with the gift card.
Such sweet people and great customer service.

I don’t know why, but sometimes when I miss my grandparents I want to go to Olive Garden because we used to as a kid.
The fiancé and I decided to go with the 2 for $ 20.
So soup or salad and breadsticks to start. He got the chicken gnocchi soup which was kinda like chicken and dumplings. It was alright, but wouldn’t get that again. Salad is always just as you expect as well as the breadsticks.
Each person gets a entrée. Spaghetti with Italian Sausage. They give you 4 full sausages so they werent skimpy with that. The sauce was just meh but what bothers me is when you give someone noodles that had some pieces dried out from sitting. Shrimp mezzaluna — this was just alright. I didn’t like the pre cooked shrimp but the ravioli was fine.
We get a dessert to share and got a black tie chocolate cake which was decent enough, like buying cheesecake from Costco.
Generally speaking I feel their staff tends to be friendly, sometimes overly. They hire the «jazz hands» types, but I far rather have someone really zippy than being served by someone who looks so disinterested. Our gal was that Glee club upbeat, but was also on point with taking care of our needs.
Best part of the meal? Salad, breadsticks and peach ice tea. I think maybe I should really just come for that if I’m feeling a bit nostalgic.
Olive Garden isn’t horrible unedible food, but it isn’t by any stretch great. I feel like it was definitely better years ago, and better at locations that’s been operating for a long time like the one my gramps went to. I noticed the prices without the meal deal and they are higher now. $ 15 for pasta gets you handmade pasta, handmade sauce at a local place vs something a bit more generic. It’s the age old question of what you value in food– quality or quantity? You’ll have plenty of left overs here. Stick to the special 2fers, bottomless pasta, lunch time specials to at least get it at a price closer to what it’s worth.
