Reviews for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in State College, PA

Today was my 2nd wedding anniversary, and because of our waiter, Micheal, our visit was absolutely wonderful. Not only was he... spot on with his recommendations, but his kindness, professionalism, and attention were spot on. This particular Olive Gardenwas busy for a Sunday night, but Micheal never missed a beat. Never had to ask for a thing, refills were promptly at our table,he was incredibly kind to our son, very patient, and an all around amazing waiter. All the staff was friendly, smiling, and ourfood was fantastic. The wait wasn't even long, for as busy as they were. We had an amazing night. Thank you, Olive Garden, for avery good night. Read more

Always a great fancy experience at Olive Garden, but this time I tried Steak and Alfredo, oh My! It was a taste I will miss, the... steak were cooked very nicely, and Alfredo with shrimp was a blessing for my tastebud! Loved it and will be back. Plenty ofseating space, and very nicely organized with perfect amount of light. I just love Olive Garden I guess Read more

So if you are in this area Pennsylvania it’s worth dropping in and having a high carb meal right before a sporting event. No... this place is great and it is your typical Olive Garden but it only gets four stars and I’m gonna tell you why. The windowsinside and outside are really and clean and disgusting. Where we said you could see the bird poo on the outside of the windowson the inside right at our table you can see all the greasy little kitty handprints all over full sets of windows or we weresetting. Now the food was delicious as always but there is an exception here. You will notice my daughter was brought zitiwith a red cream sauce and she ordered cheese ravioli with an Alfredo sauce. Mistakes happen and she decided to go with whatwas brought to her rather than send it back but because of waiters with super 2 inch long fingernails name Jack that don’twrite you’re down and commit it to memory incorrectly. On a sidenote I stepped away to wash my hands my daughter asked formore water and our server brought it back with lemon she told him I ordered without lemon he insisted know your lemon. Anysadly amusing part of this as I have a citrus allergy and Brooke never ordered lemon unless I wanted to free hospital trip. Read more

Had the tour of Italy and its was freak in amazing. I hadn't had pasta in months. Service was 10/10 too.

Olive Garden ????????is a staple of the family restaurant industry. It’s hard to do poorly, and thus is an easy, safe pick for... all your spaghetti???? needs. The portion sizes on the bottomless soups???? have finally been decreased. Which I personallybelieve is a smart move for everyone. I was actually able to put a dent into my dinner???? because I wasn’t bloated on soupand salad???? before my meal came. Thank you Olive Garden ???? ???? Headquarters! Read more

Great dining experience! Our waitress was attentive and helpful. The food option worked out great for the even the healthier... eater - i.e., a request was made to put the garlic butter sauce on the side and the food came out as requested. Read more

This place is really a hit or miss. Some days you come in here and it’s great. Other times it’s a disaster. I tried to come... in here a few weeks ago and the entire bar was filled with dirty dishes, along with the surrounding tables. This last time was agood experience however. Service was good and food came out hot. The only complaint was my lasagna plate was very small, buttasted good. I just remember portions being way better Read more

We visited this Olive Garden during our recent trip dropping off our son at Penn State. We did the call ahead seating and they... did not locate our name on their list when we arrived. Fortunately we received an automated text message on our phone thatproved that we made the call. The location inside is nice and the waitress was pleasant. The food at Olive Garden usually isvery good and you never leave hungry. You can’t go wrong with the unlimited breadsticks and we ordered meat sauce for dippingwhich is great. We ordered the New steak parmigiana which was good, the chicken fettuccine which was good too and the chickenMarsala which was not good. It tasted undercooked and chewy. Our waitress removed the chicken Marsala from our bill - which isok, but we were surprised that a manager did not apologize. Not sure if I would revisit when back in the area. Read more
