Reviews Summary
Olive Garden receives praise for its exceptional service, cozy ambiance, and generous portions, particularly the 'Tour of Italy' dish. However, some diners have noted inconsistencies in food quality, with pasta dishes occasionally being undercooked or dry, and pricing perceived as high for the quality by a few. Despite some criticisms, many find it a reliable choice for Italian-American comfort food with attentive staff.
"Helped by Draven 🤵🏼♀️over phone 📞, in person and Donovan T. our waiter 🤵🏻♂️. We called asking about seating for a party 🎊 🎈 🎉 of 12…3 minutes away. We walked in waited about 5 minutes. They were ALL GREAT 👍🏽 hosts, GREAT food 🍝 . Constantly communicating and dropping in for refills or order updates. WOW 🤩. Donovan managed the 12 people professionally and courteously. We shared a “ Tour of Italy 🇮🇹 “ and the staff split our order in two plates ahead of time. Very thoughtful of them."

"Okay, so we hit up the Olive Garden in Carson City the other day, and frankly, it was a really solid experience. We started with the potato and Italian sausage soup – it was creamy, flavorful, and just perfect for a slightly chilly day. For our entrees, I had the chicken marmalade (which was surprisingly good!) and my friend got the ravioli with shrimp. Both dishes were excellent.
Everything was cooked just right, and the portions were generous. No complaints at all about the food.
The service was also pretty good. Our server was attentive without being overly pushy, and everything came out in a timely manner. The only slightly odd thing was checking out with the little machine at the table. I mean, it's not a big deal, and I guess that's just how things are going these days, but it felt a little impersonal. Whatever, it got the job done.
We noticed they had some decent-looking lunch specials, too, although we unfortunately missed the cut-off (11 am to 3 pm, if I remember right). Next time, we'll try to go earlier and take advantage of those. Another plus was that it wasn't too crowded, probably because it was a weekday. Overall, it was a really good meal, and we'll definitely be back. Worth checking out if you're in the mood for some classic Italian-American comfort food. Five stars from us!"

"Our waitress Daniel was very nice and provided great service with refills and offers of seconds. The minestrone soup with bread sticks and salad was fantastically priced with each as much as you want. The food was delicious with plenty of seating and clean facilities. Plenty of parking as well and a wonderful selection of tasty margaritas. Highly recommend stopping jere"
