Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Very large, clean restaurant. Everything is reasonably priced. Service is attentive. Large servings, free drink refills. Lots of free parking. Lots of bread sticks. Comfortable seating. But the salad did not seem fresh and the food was bland. ♿️

A spacious Olive Garden location that offers all the familiar Italian dishes the chain is known for. The service we received at this location was lack lusty but the food was delicious and we left satisfied with our meal. I enjoy paying on the mobile kiosk to save time. There is plenty of free parking in the adjacent parking structure. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible.

Olive Garden has always been one of my favorite go-to restaurants. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing meal with family or friends. I absolutely love the breadsticks — they’re always warm, soft, and impossible to stop eating! The pasta dishes are consistently delicious, with generous portions and great flavor. Whether it's the classic fettuccine alfredo, the lasagna, or their seasonal specials, I've never been disappointed. Plus, the soup and salad combo is a nice option when you want something lighter. Definitely a reliable spot for a satisfying Italian meal.

Eh, server made us feel like we were a bother. Very transactional and the first thing he asked us was “ready to order?” Could’ve gone to a fast food restaurant instead and gotten a better attitude. Unlimited salad and bread was nice but doesn’t fully compensate. Dry cake but will taste good if you like sugar. Also weird atmosphere. So much open space with NPC families. Big portions though so the value is fine if you don’t include tip. Also not very accodomating, server didn’t even know some of the things on the menu. The menu isn’t big.

Ordered the new menu item of steak tips and shrimp. And an all-time favorite 5 cheese pasta. Spice sausage soup was great as usual.

The dog days are officially over, transitioning from Mediterranean dining to the savory season, and I had a taste for Italian fare this evening. My go-to choices are Pazzo Pomodoro (Vienna) for premium casual dining, or Bellissimo (Fairfax City) and Roberto's (Vienna) for fine Italian dining. But I decided to take a chance on Olive Garden, a casual dining option, not expecting it to reach elevated flavors and at a much lower price point. I haven't been here in decades. Though the location is at the congested intersection of International Drive and Leesburg Pike, the restaurant is surprisingly easy to access because of its corner location and ample parking. The hostess and server were efficient and professional. I found the atmosphere relaxed, and the restaurant was notably clean. I ordered minestrone soup, spaghetti and meatballs, a glass of the house Chianti, and I asked about getting some ciabatta or other rustic bread. The minestrone soup was light and bland. The bread looked like miniature baguettes, but the interior was soft and smooth, seeming to be made of highly processed white flour. Somehow, garlic was incorporated into the crust, which I found unappealing. I took one bite and pushed it aside. The meatballs and spaghetti were also bland but not as dull as the minestrone soup. The Chianti was passable, and it would have been more enjoyable with ciabatta.

Just your average Olive Garden experience. The food was good. Service was not bad. The set up of this particular olive gardening is not very inviting. The food was brought out at a slightly like warm temperature. Overall, we had a fine experience and everything tasted fine. Olive Garden is super affordable and we love the all you can eat breadsticks.

It was great. You can prefer them. It has a big parking. My prefer is Chicken Alfredo & Diet Coke
