Reviews for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Phoenix, AZ

We have now had 2 consecutive amazing dining experiences. The first one a few weeks ago with a waitress by the name of Emma, she... was extremely friendly, big smile, super professional and kind, she also kept our drinks full and we never ran out of breadsticks. The second was this afternoon, Emma happened to be at the hostess stand however wasn't available to be our waitress soshe put us with Marissa. Marissa was fantastic and just as friendly. She checked on us a few times during our meal and as withEmma our drinks never ran out. Although it was Emma's first week and Marissa hasn't been there long either, we will berequesting at least one of them take care of us in the future, as our dining experiences were amazing. We had a really badexperience here a few years ago which turned us off completely from olive garden, so we had not come back. The first time givingthem another try was with Emma, the second was today with Marissa and I can happily say we will be coming back much more often. Read more

So good!!! My second time in three weeks. Can’t complain about the food nor the service. A very friendly and attentive group... of staff. Lawrence literally came to check on us every few mins. And got our orders in quick and accurately. Love it!!! Read more

I order curbside and have never been more disappointed. I got the Chicken & Shrimp Carbonara and it had ZERO sauce on it. It... tastes like wet noodles that aren't even seasoned. Plus the breadsticks were very tough. So incredibly disappointed in this verydisgusting, expensive dinner. Read more

We sat down and waited 15 minutes before being given water or meeting our server. Our entrees came to the table before we got... our soups or salads or sauce for the breadsticks. The chicken and gnocchi soup had a single gnocchi. The salad had huge chunksof lettuce, a minuscule amount of dressing and no croutons or olives. The eggplant in the eggplant parmigiana was thin and overcooked. The server didn’t even give us the Andes mints at the end of our meal. Overall, extremely disappointing experience. Read more

We decided to celebrate a birthday ???? here and it wasn't our original plan but it turned out nice. We had an amazing service... by Carl who was a busser and learning how-to eventually become a server. Our original waiter disappeared on us and Carl jumpedin to help make our experience memorable. We appreciate you Carl for clearing our table, refilling our beverages, and dippingSauce and bread. Offering to bring to go boxes and drinks. It was appreciated and we wish you best in becoming a server. Youwill be successful for sure. Overall, everything we ordered was delicious ????. We did bring our own cake. They were kindenough to offer a cutting knife, forks, and plates to serve the cake. The wait staff came and sang the birthday song to ourbirthday ???? girl. Thank you for a lovely evening. Happy eating ???? Read more

We came here to celebrate a birthday and everything turned out great. The food was delicious; our server, Max, was so kind,... attentive and helpful. The evening was perfect! I absolutely loved how some of the staff sang happy birthday to my mom when theybrought her dessert cake. Thank you, Olive Garden, for a job well done! Read more

Olive Garden restaurants have been our go to for over 30 years for special occasions. We have been to numerous locations... throughout the US. This location is the only spot that we will never return to. The server Josh was awesome and he continuallyapologized throughout our dinner for a poorly prepared meal. The food was over cooked, this facility did not have ingredientsthat were in stock to make many of dishes. There were not any crayons to even keep the children occupied before the meal. Thankyou for ruining this special celebration for us. Read more
