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.

Insider Pages Reviews for Olive Garden
For what it's worth, I think Olive Garden has great food. Especially when they do the neverending pasta bowl. I don't think the prices are that bad here, they are pretty standard.

hard to find a very good restaurant in houston. Olive garden certainly is not one of them. Their pasta is not very good. Price is not good. Nothing is special.

The Best OG I've been to!
by Prayzer
I just want to praise the Memorial City and 1960/I-59 locations as being the best 2 locations of Olive Garden I've been to. Great & prompt service, great food and little extra touches.
