I have eaten at Olive Gardens before and enjoyed myself, but they have a tendency to get super mega busy, and this one is no exception. I had to wait for what felt like forty minutes before I was able to get a table, and then the service was really slow. The food was still great, but it just was too long to wait.

I eat here during work a lot. Their salads are perfect--filling (because they give you a lot of it), but low on calories and high on nutrition. The perfect thing to keep a guy going at work.

Olive Garden is just across the street from where I work! This makes it horribly tempting to go waaaay more often than I should. I always feel ashamed when I realize I've just blown a quarter of my day's pay on lunch, but it does make the day feel better. So I save it for special occasions--i.e. days where I have to work but maybe it's my birthday or something else important. My favorite entree is the veal parmigiana. It's always so tender, the sauce is delicious, and I love the provolone cheese that they use. It's amazing! They also do really well with bread and salad. Those buttery rolls never get old.

Olive Garden is where we always get our food when we're going to be hosting work meetings. Sometimes we go out (it's right across the street from our office), and sometimes we bring it back to the meeting room at work, but we're always pleased whatever we do. It's a bit expensive, but not fine dining expensive, and the food is really quite delectable. When we order takeout over the phone, they're always very professional and polite and read our order back to us so we know they've got it right. They have yet to mess up a single order!

In the world of chain restaurants, Olive Garden is generally better than most, and this is a pretty typical Olive Garden. Their alfredo is extra creamy and delicious, and I never get tired of those long rolls they bring out before the meals--the buttery garlic ones. As far as chain restaurants go though, Olive Garden remains overpriced in my opinion - sadly this is almost always par the course with good Italian food. There are some nice local eateries which aren't as expensive though, especially in Queens, so there are some superior deals out there.

Olive Garden is one of my top selections when it comes to dining out. It is a great place with a spectacular minimal yet distinctive decor and a great service to go with that. Their food is amazing, really home made looking and the portions are generous enough to fill your stomach without needing anything extra. Yet, it is hard not to get anything extra with all these culinary temptations on the table. There are some Italian dishes that are cooked to perfection, according to the traditional recipes of an Italian grandma, as well as the modern, contemporary american food, for the burger lovers and the meat grill ones too. The place is perfect for a family dinner, as it is smoking free and it features some great kids menus that they are going to adore. The rates are low and that is a bonus, when we are talking a bout a whole family. Pay them a visit as soon as possible, it is a great restaurant all in all!

Olive Garden is a trade mark of the Mediterannean, as I can tell. That is why it is used in order to be the sign of an Italian restaurant primarily. The Italian cuisine is great, along with the Greek one they are my top selections whenever I want to eat out and have fun. The pizza and pasta are an amazing combo, along with abundant salads and appetizers. The veggies are always clean and fresh and they are prepared really wonderfully. The desserts are also stunning and the prices for a stuffing dinner are quite low. You can have a sip of your finest tasting wine and still have a low budget at your night out. I had planned my anniversary there with my wife and we were really excited. They even made us a special cake as a treat and a token of gratitude for our loyalty to the place.
