Reviews for Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Wilkes-Barre Township, PA

We arrived at Olive Garden at 7 p.m. on a Friday night, and had an approximate 15-20 minute wait before being seated. The... restaurant was offering free meals to veterans on Veterans Day, which may explain the wait. Nevertheless, we decided to wait,and the staff contacted me through a text message. Ashley, our server, was very polite and courteous, and waited on us promptlyonce we were seated. We ordered the chicken and gnocchi soup, as well as the salad, both of which were delicious. The salad wasfresh, and the soup creamy with plenty of chicken and gnocchi. The breaded eggplant parmigiana was very good, which came with aside of spaghetti. The cheese ravioli with meat sauce was delightful, topped with melted mozzarella cheese. The ravioli wasperfectly prepared, al dente, and stuffed with a smooth blend of Italian cheeses. As crowded as it was, the large size of theestablishment was such that it wasn't too noticeable, and there were plenty of staff members to handle the influx ofpatrons. Overall, it was truly an amazing meal, with h amazing staff and an elegant atmosphere. Read more

If I could put 0 I would. The worst experience of my life. Waitress was rude and I even can say racist. Gave better service to... others and faster. People that got there after us their food was served first. The way the waitress was treating them so nicebut when she came over our table rudeness all the way. Then when we finally got our food guess what the order was wrong.Definitely not going back. Read more

I was hoping to be able to say another subpar, commercial, pseudo Italian restaurant in an area awash in good real Italian... cuisine. Well Olive Garden, you flipped the script. Excellent service, great tasting, hot food and decent portions. Thedessert was fresh and fantastic not some freezer burned holdover from last week. I'm looking forward to my next visit. Read more

Very pleased with our visit. The menu seems to be truncated but we found menu items to enjoy. Our server was excellent, however... she seemed surprised that we were not alcohol drinkers.... (interestingly enough the menu had much of it's pages dedicated toalcoholic beverages)... I was surprised that there were not many families with children dining here. We spent over 90$ forfour.(no alcohol, no dessert) Read more

Was very nice. Food delicious as always. Except a few in our group did not get what they ordered and wait would have been to... long since others had already gotten their food. Waitress was very nice. And to give her the benefit of the fought, we thoughtmaybe she misunderstood us why we just left it go. But otherwise very good Read more

We arrived to this restaurant late Friday night, around 9:30 PM. Most of the families and patrons were leaving, and we thought... they might just start cleaning and close for the night, although their schedule said “opened until 11 PM”. We needed a placeto have a late dinner since we had all skipped lunch that day. This restaurant did not disappoint. We were three hungry andtired travelers but these people made us feel at home. They were welcoming and helpful and their waitress was marvelous,accommodating caring and quick. The bar also made a delicious drinks, and made my mom very happy with their Italian margarita,which consists of a margarita with a shot of amaretto. This was very clever and delicious. We chose an appetizer that we hadnever had before, stuffed ziti fritta with two dipping sauces, we loved the alfredo, we suggest you to give this a try. Fordinner, our table ordered a chicken gnocci soup, a 3-pasta dinner plate and a chicken alfredo. Of course they brought us theirdelish warm breadsticks, and salad. We did not want to overstay are welcome, so we took our tiramisu and strawberry cream caketo go (which were supremely good). I know this is a chain restaurant and some may raise an eyebrow, but what makes a restaurantspecial is great service, and that their food is consistently good. You could not go wrong here with either one. The manager wasso gracious to come to our table and we were very happy with the wonderful service we received! Def going back in May when wereturn.
