Reviews for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Downers Grove, IL

Food is great as always expected from this chain, but in this case it is a bit above. The food came out really fast and was... tasty. The food was spot on, drinks refilled without asking, overall a really good restaurant. The servers on both occasionswere super friendly, professional and hard working. Highly recommend this location. Read more

I would gladly return to this location, and recommend it to others looking to go eat somewhere. It's Olive Garden, it's super... popular, and there's a reason. They make Italian food, and it has a unique flavor you usually can't find in other places. I loveall the food, including the salads. Chicken soup is my absolute favorite! It's definitely comfort food, and it's relativelyinexpensive for a sit-down restaurant, so if you're hungry, this is a great place to go, because the portions are fairly large.I enjoyed it so much I've came back several times since then and will keep coming back.

They are honestly getting better and better. Olive Garden has done a great job in reinventing their brand. Had a awesome dinner... with the favorite wife. Food was on point, management came around frequently to ensure quality and satisfaction. Our serverAreli D was a joy, what a pleasant personality. Read more

I'm not sure if it was just me but the lobby and a little but into the dining area as we weren't too far off from the lobby... smelt like a dirty bathroom. As if they used the same mop in the bathroom on the lobby floors. Which thinking about it theyprobably do as it's right there. Eeek! Please stop if you do!!! It's noticeable. Server was great. They didn't honor the lunchspecial showed online at their location. I joked and said should I order to go and come sit down. It was $2 more, I wasn't gonnamake too big of a fuss. Food was good. The smell is what my issue is. Makes you wonder how clean is everything else in there. Read more

"When you're at Olive Garden, you're family" (but of course you can't stay an unlimited time and you have to pay for food... ??). Kidding aside... Good food, atmosphere and service. Read more

Food was fine but we were here for 3 hours on a Monday night. Service was unbelievably slow due ONLY to our waitress. Food... came out very fast but she disappeared multiple times for so long that we had to go up and ask for her at the host stand. Wewaited 20 minutes for her to bring extra forks for our shared dessert. When she finally turned around from the table next to usto give our credit card receipt she ran off before we could tell her that we were missing a charge slip for $65 of the splitbill. Again the manager and hostess couldn’t find her - we went to walk out and had to essentially BEG to pay. Read more

5/1/22 went in to no host/ess. There was at least 2 employees that walked by and didn't bother to help or at say I'll/we'll be... right with you. So it started in a bad note but once seated my waitress, Rachel, was amazing. She was patient, kind, funny andvery helpful. Food was good nothing special. I'm really only giving this a 4 star rating for my waitress. Read more

Olive Garden is consistent. You know what you're getting and that's unlimited salad and breadsticks that are worth the trip.... Kudos to the staff for solid service everytime we visit. We didn't take advantage of it this time, but they do have a nice dealon a take and go meal for $6 when you buy an entree for dine in. My son insisted on posting this photo of the rich ChocolateLasagna dessert ???? Read more
