Ordering their Pork Tenderloin is a huge mistake, you wait 30 minutes longer than all other meals ordered, and you get shoe leather. Their marinara has a lot to be desired, Ragu tastes better. You would think an Italian restaurant chain would have fantastic sauce as their signature, but theirs is found lacking. Their white pasta sauce is no better. I compare Olive Garden to Taco Bell... ie: it does not matter what you order, everything tastes the same. It's still a good place for lunch if all you order is their Soup & Salad, some of the soups are hearty and good, and for just a few bucks you get all you can eat of it. As for the rest of their meals, their chef's need to go back to culinary school.

Really Enjoy The Food!!. I enjoy their food here. Lots of mouth watering flavor and I like the super fast way they get the food out to you, without feeling hurried. More accurately, I think I should say that the food comes out in successions, at the perfect timing.

Traditional dishes and all -you-can-eat salad, soup and bread sticks are the draw at this upscale-casual Italian restaurant.. In Short
Established in 1982, this chain gained a following for its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions. 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.
