Como siempre, sólido en todos los aspectos. We ordered the Tour of Italy, which can be easily shared between 2 people. And my son loved the Mac & Cheese. Price according to what one receives. Perhaps the only point against was that my son started playing with the tablet on the table, and without realizing it, they charged us for a game that you can see that he played. I recommend it, as always!

It was great, first time I went here. The food was really good, the amount was perfect and even the salad was really good. Great menu options. It was packed and we still managed to only wait 20 minutes which was amazing!

What an amazing place to have a great lunch! We got taken care of by Carole and she did a fabulous job. She constantly checked on us, made sure we had refills and gave us great recommendations. I had the Salmon entree with Angle hair pasta w/ Alfredo sauce and it was cooked to perfection. The price was always very good not very expensive seems very reasonable.

I had an amazing experience at this Olive Garden! The food was fresh, the service was quick, and the entire atmosphere felt warm and welcoming but what really made the visit exceptional was the manager, Peter. Peter is the kind of manager every restaurant needs. He was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure guests were happy. You can tell he runs the place with pride because the staff was organized, the restaurant was spotless, and the overall vibe was fantastic. He checked on our table personally, made us feel valued, and handled everything with professionalism and kindness. Customer service like that is rare these days.

Food was a little too salty. Server was good but the atmosphere was a little uncomfortable due to a lot of people coughing. I did like the tablet to keep children busy and to pay for food.
