Insider Pages Reviews for Olive Garden
As at all Olive Gardens, the food here is very good, the appetizers tasty, the drinks very good. But, the problem is you need to wait 45 minutes or more to even get a table. With a "no reservations" policy, the pros of dining here are often outweighed by the cons o waiting an hour to be seated. Best advice- plan ahead, and bring a snack.
PROS: Great Food- best alfredo i've had in a while, and mmmm breadsticks!
CONS: Crazy long wait- can we get more tables, faster eaters, something?

This restaurant is one of the best Italian restaurants in all of New Hampshire. It is a rare, sit down and eat dinner places, which mixes class and affordability. The give free breadsticks which are to die for, and their soup and salad choices are the best. Their entrees range from the never-ending-pasta bowl to the chicken parmasean. They have a great selection of red and white wines, and their choclate mousse cake is the greatest.
PROS: Everything
CONS: nothing
