Insider Pages Reviews for Olive Garden
I'm a really huge pasta fan. Nothing really too fancy about their dishes, but I do love their soups. The pastas there are really good. Service and employees there are wonderful. Very sociable environment.

It's not just the ubiquitous salad and breadsticks that make me come back for more. The Cerritos branch offers good customer service from a friendly staff of fresh-faced servers. Check out the little bar in the front; nice selection of wines and misc liquors.
PROS: Standard menu, excellent customer service
CONS: Some dining sections are tucked away in dark, cave-like settings

My husband and I visit this location at least 2-3 times a month. We have our favorite servers from Nick at the bar to Oscar, Jeremy and Tiana. These are the best people there. The food is great and so is the atmosphere. I love the salad and bread. The toasted ravoli is the best. yummy!
PROS: Best service
CONS: Nothing

I love this Olive Garden! They have delicious Italian food here. The restaurant is awesome, I always feel very comfortable dining here. The employees there are super nice and friendly. You also have the option for take out. I just call and place my order thru the phone so when I get there my food is ready for me and I don't have to wait! That is so convenient!
