Every time I eat at the Olive Garden I get a headache and all anxious. Neither of which ever happen to me unless I eat Chinese food. I ate twice at Olive Garden and it happened both times. Both times had Salad + bread + chicken + pasta. Once I had the Gnocchi soup
looking for generic msg filled Italian food? this is the spot. Enjoy the great service from the poor people hate working at the olive garden. Are you boring enough to eat here?
This is one of my favorite resturants I love there chicken parm. The salads and breadsticks are free and a perfect addition to your meal. It's a romantic atmosphere great place to bring a date the service is fast and friendly. And they have very decent prices.

Olive Garden is a casual, family oriented Italian restaurant. The menue appeals to all age groups. The food is simple with no frills. The servings are generous, and is served at just the perfect temperature. The pre-meal servings of salad and breadsticks nearly make a meal of itself! The breadsticks are piping hot, and the salad is refrigerator cold! The service is fast, friendly, and ...

If you want the all you can eat salad and bread sticks but better Italian food try the Olive Tree in Aberdeen, Md. They have larger servings and the food is great especially the crab alfredo. The put in large amounts of lump crab meat and it is delicios. If you have tried the Olive Garden and then go to Olive tree you will never mix them up.
Olive Garden is the McDonald's of Itilian food.
If you want real Itilian food, there is a little place next the Carrousel Hotel in Ocean City Maryland call Anna Maria's. Anna retired recently, but she past down all of the traditions to her son, who now runs the place with the same pride as his mother did. The food is great and they know how to serve correctly.
Enjoy!
With all the fantastic restaurants in Baltimore's Little Italy, laziness is the only excuse for visiting the Olive Garden. On several "lazy" nights, I have visited two suburban locations. The Columbia location was especially busy some nights, and the quality of the food has been unreliable. For a chain, it's passable, but I wouldn't waste my time seeking out a location to visit.
The service was the worst I have ever recieved. I felt like I was at the doctor's office. The food was not very good. The sauce was flavorless and the pasta was overcooked.
Olicce Garden is definitely NOT one of the top 10 Italian restaurants to eat at in the U.S., let alone the area. Obviously you haven't had the opportunity to visit Timpano's in Rockville. NOW that's true Italian. Check it out sometime...I promise you won't be disappointed.
Despite all the bad reviews here, I love the olive garden. The food is great. Maybe it isn't "authentic Italian" but who ever said it was. I eat there regularly. Great atmosphere, service and food. All reasonably priced.
Olive Garden is NOT Italian. It is Americanized Italian food. Although some of the soups are good and salad is abundant, the sauces and dressings need a real Italian chef's recipes. In a city with a "Little Italy" of its own, it's a wonder that Olive Garden could make it into a list like this. That tells me that most of its patrons are internet users. The real gourmets don't vote.
The Olive Garden is a good example of Americans love of fair with horrible food that they eat because they know what kind of food they are going to eat. Good Italian kitchens use fresh produce and meats not frozen or processed food like Olive Garden.
Great food, great prices and a great value. This is a good place for the whole family.
when i saw this restaurant on the BEST ITALIAN site, i had to write in. um, the food may be good, but this is NOT ITALIAN. this is GROSS AND DISGUSTING AND PROCESSED. the breadsticks are great you say? they come in a freakin' package you can buy at the grocery store. GROW UP and GET SOME TASTE. you want italian? take a trip down to little italy and stop by amicci's restaurant. thats italian. i bi...
I love the Olive Garden. I strongly recommend the Chicken Marsalis. (I think that is how you spell it.) I saw it on an Olive Garden commercial, and it looked good. So I purposely went to the restaurant to try it. (It was also my first time there.) It was so good that the next week, I went back and ordered it for carry-out.
Enjoyed wine, salad, and bread sticks while waiting for the meal. The steak I ordered was good, but cooked medium instead of medium rare
wonderful food, extra large portions = doggie bags & a completely enjoyable lunch the next day. Food service, price all top drawer
