Insider Pages Reviews for Olive Garden
Salad, soup, and breadsticks are all you need to order at Olive Garden. I usually buy several bottles of their salad dressing to go. Try the minestrone soup. It is full of vegetables.

This is National Chain Itilian Food how come it takes so long to get your dinner. I usually don't have all night for dinner. It is not the wait staff's fault.
The food is always a high quality. Darden Resturants does produce a quality product.
