Reviews for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Raleigh, NC
My family and I were celebrating my granddaughter 14 birthday. The service was AMAZING!!! We were told that we would have to... wait at least an hour, we only had to wait 15 minutes. Lee was the manager, Christina was the lead hostess, and Sekou was ourwaiter. The entire team was phenomenal and everyone worked remarkably well together as a team. This was the BEST experience Ihave ever had in a long time from a restaurant that is always slammed. Thank You Thank You for the excellent service and we willdefinitely be back soon. Read more
We did the online wait list. We did have to wait for a few minutes. Maybe 15 minutes, but I still worth it I think. The food was... good as always. I got the salmon and it came out piping hot! It was delicious with the Parmesan broccoli. What I really want tomention though is the take home option of 3 different entrees (if you order an entree to eat there). We got the 5 Cheese Ziti totake home. My husband and I had it the next night. The serving size was large so we split it in half. It was only $6 for thetake home which came hot and ready to eat because they were actually out of it and had to make it right then. Anyway, justsaying not only was it large and cheap, it was delicious. We would definitely get that again if they continue to offer the takehome option. Read more

We sat at the bar so there wouldn't be as long of a wait. Bartender was friendly and fast and made the great suggestion to add... mushrooms to the Alfredo and asparagus to the carbonara. The watermelon sangria was sublime. Still loving the $6 take homeentrees. Read more
We had a gift card and wife always loved Olive Garden. We reserved online and Saif 15 minute wait. When we got there the woman... said at least 30 minutes and acted as if she was hoping we would leave. Wasn't an issues they were busy. We sat and waited abut. The waitress was very nice. She was a bit slow but we weren't in a rush. We ordered unlimited salad and bread fordaughter. She got. Bowl and like 4 bread sticks which we all were to share since our meals came with the same. Wife git a pastameal with shrimp, forgot the name..it looks pretty good. Wife said it was OK but nothing great. I went with the classic chickenparm. My portion was very nice but the spegetti just very plain and basic. we had ro ask for drink refills and even had to askfor salad and breadsticks again after being empty for awhile. When she finally refilled us she gave us 3 breadsticks. When weuse to come to OG I remember it being a lot better and breadsticks and salad was plenty. Just remember it being better. Thebread was nit as good as I remember them. We waited for our check for awhile, inhad to use the rest room so I told my family iwould meet them in the lobby. It took another 15 to 20 minutes.to get the check and pay. Was looking forward to this meal nutwas nothing speacial. Read more

First time eating at Olive Garden I wasn’t pleased with the bread it was extremely salty and seemed over seasoned but was... looking forward to it being a lot better with the garlic salt but the salad was good . I got the eggplant Parm it was good Ididn’t care for the side pasta was pretty basic tasting I just feel like I could have made same meal at home and done better. Not terrible but it’s average and I think overpriced for what it’s worth calamari was okay too . Service was good tho .mydaughter enjoyed her shrimp Alfredo Read more

Also the restaurant looked great, veryclean and a great atmosphere! Read more
