    June 2022 - Too expensive for the quality of food and service. Food/Pricing - Seafood Alfredo, $22.49. Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara, $21.79. Both tasted fine but for the price, there's better elsewhere. Both were slightly too oily for me. Service/Ambiance - The service left much to be desired. They questioned everything we requested. I came to eat, not to feel judged. Their tone wasn't professional and they spoke to every table like we were children. Server leans on walls and puts their leg up on the chair while speaking to customers at the table. They seemed to find it strange we wanted just hot water. Also that a party of 3 ordered 2 entrées and an alcoholic drink. They questioned that as well. I wasn't too hungry when I came to dine but I don't think it's necessary for me to explain myself when I already stated we'd be sharing. Server didn't provide plates for the salad and took awhile to provide us with some after we requested. They also poked at our bread basket with their finger to check if it was empty. I'm not sure if they were trying to be funny throughout this experience but I certainly wasn't laughing. Will I be back? We live really close by but no I will not return. Times are tough so I still gave 20% tip but that'll be the last time.

    Had a wonderful date with my boyfriend, the waiter was very helpful with appetizer suggestions and wanted us to have a special date. We had shrimp Alfredo, salad, mozzarella bites, and raspberry lemonade! Wonderful date and good food

    This olive garden is a lovely 2-story establishment with beautiful decor and ambiance. We had a huge party, and the team of waiters and waitresses took excellent care of all of us and with smiles on their faces the whole time! The food was delicious, and they were very accommodating to our needs. Definitely recommend!

    My baby was asleep in her car seat and we weren't allowed to sit at a booth as we had requested and waited over an hour for. I've never had a issue with any other Olive Garden restaurant that did not allow me to place my baby in the booth with us. I was told that my baby posed a fire hazard if she sat beside me in the booth. The male hostess had the audacity to ask if we needed a sling for the car seat my baby was in. I would think that would be the least they could offer after the inconvenience or did he expect us to place her on the floor?

    Loved this place with great service and fresh food, and they went fast on taking us to our table after they had a 45-minute. Wait, they took care of us as soon as possible. Our dishes are grilled salmon over angel-hair pasta with mushroom topping with sautéed shrimps 🍤 ,and my friend's same except he order fettuccine Alfredo pasta, Yummy 😋. Ok, the only thing is if you take an older person, you have to stay on the first floor since you have to come downstairs to use the restroom 😉 .

    I enjoyed my visit at this location. I ordered the chicken scampi, and it was perfect. Nice hot and very flavorful. I especially enjoyed that they offered a little deal when you order one entree from the menu. They offer a few items for 6 dollars to go. I ordered the chicken Alfredo to go, and it was packaged in a microwavable container and was super awesome as a lunch for the next day. The best part of our dining experience was our waitress. She was very exceptional. She was informative, polite, swift, and very classy. She was especially kind to my daughters. As a parent, it warms my heart when my children are treated respectfully and kindly. I will definitely be back here.

    Hands down this is one of the best Olive Garden restaurants we've ever eaten at!! We arrived at the restaurant closer to closing, about 9:30 and even though it was close to closing time, the caliber of service and the quality of the food was wonderful. Rico is an amazing server; so kind and so nice and a chef's kiss to the chefs as our food was on point!! We'll definitely be back!

    Olive Garden has always been my son's favorite Italian restaurant. But the waiter in this restaurant was very unfriendly here! When we asked him for an extra plate for the salad, he asked "what do you need it for?" 🙄 Also, the pasta here was over cooked!

    This location is my favorite but this visit was different for my fiancé and I because our server Johnny made our dinner even better! He was very personable and stopped by multiple times to check up on us. His recommendations helped us tremendously and his attitude was amazing! I usually don’t write reviews but he stood out to us so I just had to! We look forward to coming back soon!

    The food is always great. Portions are adequate. Our server was very attentive and made sure we had soup, salad, and breadsticks with ENOUGH cheese. Quiet atmosphere, perfect for conversation. This location has never disappointed.

    Go to BJs next door. Came here on a Saturday night with my family and immediately regrets my decision. The place was understaff and had to wait an hour to get an table and another 30 minutes just to have our server to take our order. This place seriously needs new management.

    I loved that place… the food was too close to authenticity, full of flavors. The plates were full , it’s really obvious how generous they are!!! Our waiter, Victor was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He is one of the most lawful employees I have ever met!!!! Thank you victor for your hospitality, whenever we are near Pasadena we will make sure to pass by!!!

    Excellent service. It was New Year's Eve so I'm pretty sure the servers wanted to get out of there and start celebrating 😝 but they didn't show it. No complaints, will be back 🌞 I've been here several times in the past.

    I love this place. Great selection of Italian food, great customer service and attention from the waiter/waitress. I do recommend making a reservation online or on their app before coming in (otherwise you'll wait longer once you're there). Parking is plenty and free. Will be coming back to this place.

    I had a great time, the food and service were great. I just wished the atmosphere was a bit more intimate, more relaxing. The food is great, and because of that, it should feel like you're in a great restaurant, not like a buffet kinda thing. Olive garden, I love you food, just please don't get lazy and make my experience great, just like your food!. This is for the Arcadia olive garden.

    Olive garden is great. The food is always so good and I love it. I come here a lot with friends and family and they always seem to love it too. This place is just a classic for food! You can never go wrong with olive garden.

    I went to have brunch with my nephew. He had the salmon and I had the soup salad and bread sticks. I love me their soup (minestrone), it was so fresh and hit the spot. My nephew loved the salmon. He's usually not a veggie eater but the broccoli was the first thing he ate. I was actually surprised. Our server was so sweet and she kept checking in on us. Absolutely loved it.

    Great for party or gathering. The customer service was marvelous. Always friendly with big smile even our small party had a lot of requests. Deserve a big tip to them. Food quality as usual as family style restaurant. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants for gathering.

    Love the whole experience of Olive Garden. You could get stuffed on the unlimited soup, salad and bread sticks before they even bring your food. I tried an Italian Margarita it was definitely not what I think of margaritas but it was delicious none the less.

    Erika a manager greeted me with Pro professionalism. We created a vent cover idea together her she's on her customer service a game. But my server Lindsey listened to my concern and immediately addressed it by informing Erika her manager. These employees have wonderful attitudes and good service. My first time visiting here I will be returning forsure. ☺️ And how could i forget THE FOODS GREATTTTTTTT!!!!!

    Amazing! Came with my boyfriend for the first time together and tried the never ending pasta. The very nice server Federico was great! Always came to check on us and always refilled anything we needed. Food was great and in all the service was fast and would give 10/10! first experience was great!

    Besides being insanely busy everything was great. It was going to be about 45 min for a table but was able to get seating and food service at the bar immediately. Great service from the waitress on duty. Delicious food and drinks.

    Our server, Irma was fantastic! So attentive and very kind. Thanks for making our evening great! Our meal was hot and tasty. Great evening for sure.

    The food is good although the dishes could use more seasoning and/or sauce. The Chicken & Gnocchi is the star here it’s delicious. The atmosphere is very quiet, not much going on. I gave service 1 star because they no longer offer Ubereats delivery and that’s usually how I ordered. Since I lacked transportation. The $100 minimum delivery order through their website screams GREED. I just wanted my soups. 😪

  • 5/5 Mariana S. 2 years ago on Google
    got the soup chicken with gnocchi good stuff. Theres celery and carrot in that soup :) and the shrimp fettuccine alfredo was good the waiter was cool too he put cheese on our pastas yay! i ordered my pasta to come with mushrooms because shrimp alfredo they dont come with mushroom. The breadsticks go well with the soup and with the pasta. i did not finish my meal despite being real hungry. No complaints definitely enjoyed this place :)
