Editorial Review for Olive Garden – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Established in 1982, this chain gained a following for its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions. Patrons settle into comfortable booths and tables in dining rooms with plants, artwork and décor reminiscient of the villas in the Tuscan countryside. Starters include scampi, sausage or pepperoni pizza, and several soup choices, as well as a signature seafood dip (crab, shrimp, cheese and marinara). Entrees include classics like lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana. There are also "Garden Fare" options, which promise 30 percent fewer calories.

After a long wait of about 45 min. I was about to be seated, I had my shopping bags on the chair but we were missing 2 friends that went to the bathromm while waiting, The hostess for some reason thoought that we were only 2 and when I told her she had the nerve to tell me that she could not seat us until everyone was there? I told her that my friends were in the bathroom and she didn't care and didn't give us the table until they were there. I've to some Olive Gardens in NJ, and I loved them but here it seems that the food was a little below on the other places.... I loved the waiter but never go back to this location.....

Pros: Rude Hostess. not the right food

Cons: Good Value

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Ohhhhhh my, I cannot believe that New Yorkers actually like the Olive Garden. What has gotten into you guys??? They have the worst food ever -- bland as can be. Try any place in Little Italy for Italian food. If you really think that Olive Garden has Italian food -- you have been living in a cave!!

Pros: nothing

Cons: bland food that is NOT Italian
