The best Italian food I could have tasted, it's all exquisite.
Good restaurant ide italian inspiration. Quiet and pleasant environment. Food honest, full and at a good price.
We did take out, staff was very friendly and food was pretty much ready when I arrived to grab it. Portions do seem to have shrunk a bit. Over quality was good. Love the Alfredo dip.
Delicious!!! Super rich everything you ask for there .. the unlimited salad and your unlimited garlic bread will enchant you !! Thanks for your wonderful service !!!
Restaurant with excellent service, with variety of dishes, very good price and great food. Considering also, that the food arrives in great quantity.
Good food and fast take out service when ordering ahead.
Very friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious.
The salad was not as good as I remember (it's been years since I've eaten at Olive Garden) and the service was excruciatingly slow both at the bar and at the table. However, our server was friendly and very accommodating.
What a delicious mass, following the standards of the entire network.
Great food and wonderful service! Overall a very nice dinner.
Olive garden , neverconsistantly. 1 serving can be fresh salad next serving old salad . High turn over of waiters and waitress. Been goin here for years and seems they camt hold good mng or staff . Dirty stations dont take my word next time pass thru and look. Canaoil used instead of olive oil . (Later they realized someone in the staff filled the bottles with wrong oil) duh . But if your on a budget and looking for fast processed food .say no more
4 and a half stars, with the main star being, Taysia! Clean restaurant, drinks, appetizers, and meals came out hot and on time. It's Olive Garden so the seasoning is going to be a little on the salty side but the food was cooked well enough so I won't harp. Our server was great though very attentive but not annoying, just the perfect amount of attention. Taysia, was great, seemingly knowing what we needed and when. We'll be back definitely .
Been here two times. Both times it's taken 15+ minutes to get soup and salad out for lunch.
I had the Tour of Italy...... what can I say other than Magnifico
Great meal at Olive Garden last night, one of the best we've had this holiday, our server Jose was attentive, helpful and friendly. The food was fabulous!
Fast seating at the bar and the food was delicious.
Whenever we go to Orlando we stop by Olive Garden for lunch or dinner.
Great italian restaurant. Best restaurant I've ever eaten in Orlando.
Great food at a very good price. Their lunch espcial are wonderful
Incredible. Great prices, tasty food. Must visit for anyone in Orlando!
It is an excellent place. I had not visited it for 3 years and I saw that in infrastructures excellent attention is very good, because I give it two stars is because the food or the main course was not good
The food was really good and the staff were friendly and prompt. Will definitely return when in the area again.
Thank you so much guys great food and great service
Excellent food and the staff are so friendly great experience.
Italian food and service here is quality. got there near five, it wasn't very busy. will surely make a return trip. they have a lot of good reviews for a reason.
Very good attention ... It took time to serve the dishes but in the end it was worth so much waiting
Just left there with the worst taste of Olive Garden. My family just had a great meal and we were getting down to the check. Our waiter stacked all the plates inside the salad bowl, and with another stack in the other hand, lifted the bowl up. Within seconds the salad bowl and all the small plates and utensils inside came tumbling down. An extra dressing came across the table and splashed all over my mother and her iPhone 5s.
After no apology from the waiter (he had the audacity to make jokes while "cleaning"), and fellow diners telling us not to pay, we stopped a manager and described what happened. He said he'd be right back and when he did had a $25 gift card with him, he apologized but at that point it's too late. I personally will never eat here again.
I all the time go to Olive Gardens but my expierence was amazing! The place was busy and even like that the food came all the time so fast!!! Also our server Chaphnais was awesome. He was so nice and careful woth everything. I highly recommend this location!!!
My visit today was great. The service was exceptionally well. The salad was fresh and the main course was good.
Great time out with family the watermelon sangria are amazing
Very polite attendants, delicious food and everything came very fast
Love olive garden, menus are simple and the plates of food are large and delicious.
The food was excellent, service was very good...but dishes and silverware had a somewhat greasy look, although some were hot from the dishwasher, and we asked for replacements. I didn't notice this at the olive garden IN SILVERSPRINGS-OCALA, where everything was 100%.
More servers by the bar area during lunch time would be great. If you work in the area and need to get in and out in an hour is not always possible.
It was ok but they put to much garlic and on the bread sticks
Wish they had veal instead of eggplant but everything was very good. Nice service also
Excellent service food is delicious plenty of parking and also reasonably priced for whatever you decide to order i give this restaurant a 5 star rating
I give this restaurant the best rate because we came from sarasota, fl, for vacation and out of all the resturant we went to in Orlando this one was the best all the employees and management was awesome and the waitress Beth was awesome, she was so nice, if the drink didn't look good she would make them remake it until she was satisfied!!!!!! Like she said your in my home and I want u to feel at home!!!!! I would go back!!!!!
