One of my favorite food chain restaurants

I have been to Olive Garden twice and am definitely planning to return. The seating is quite prompt on busy nights considering the size of the restaurant. So what that the food is not 'authentically Italian'? Who cares? People go to restaurants because they want to enjoy the atmosphere and the ambiance of the place. That is why I go to Olive Garden. The food is not over the top, but it's good; the drinks include all my favorite cocktails. The service is quick and very professional. Last time my boyfriend and I went there, we got charged for a glass of wine instead of the bottle we got! That will definitely make me come back!
- Pros: excellent service, great ambiance, quick seating
Not Real Italian

Too garlicy. I smelt it on me for the rest of the day. It was very busy during lunch time. We sat down quickly but the waitress had a lot of other tables. Not a huge fan. If you think this is good italian food you've obviously haven't tasted authentic italian food.
- Pros: Sat quickly
- Cons: Too much garlic!
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.

While in New York City we went to this Olive Garden. It is located right in Times Square. We had a great meal with the same service! We did have to wait a while to be seated, but we found a table in the bar area and got some drinks. This Olive Garden gets extremely busy because of it's location.
Horrible Experience......

After a long wait of about 45 min. I was about to be seated, I had my shopping bags on the chair but we were missing 2 friends that went to the bathromm while waiting, The hostess for some reason thoought that we were only 2 and when I told her she had the nerve to tell me that she could not seat us until everyone was there? I told her that my friends were in the bathroom and she didn't care and didn't give us the table until they were there. I've to some Olive Gardens in NJ, and I loved them but here it seems that the food was a little below on the other places.... I loved the waiter but never go back to this location.....
- Pros: Rude Hostess. not the right food
- Cons: Good Value
Poor excuse for Italian food

Ohhhhhh my, I cannot believe that New Yorkers actually like the Olive Garden. What has gotten into you guys??? They have the worst food ever -- bland as can be. Try any place in Little Italy for Italian food. If you really think that Olive Garden has Italian food -- you have been living in a cave!!
- Pros: nothing
- Cons: bland food that is NOT Italian
NOW THAT'S ITALIAN!

Everytime my Uncle Mario comes to NY from Sicily, I bring him to the Olive Garden. He said that the Garlic Cheesy Bread and Never-Ending Pasta Bowl remind him of the old country. Try the Veal Francese; it's the best you'll have on this side of the Mediterranean! FORZA ITALIA!
- Pros: Parmigian Cheese, Lou the Bartender
- Cons: Nothing
Do not even go there!!

I honestly can not believe that people eat at Olive Garden when they are a few short blocks away from Resturant Row in midtown. I made the mistake of being dragged there and I was so disappointed, there is nothing authentic about the food. I am not sure where there other reviews live but this is coming from a native New Yorker - go to Little Italy - you wont be disappointed.
- Pros: Location
- Cons: Food is horrible
