    Food was good and service was excellent. Highly recommend the baked pastas menu. Chicken gnocchi soup is always good too. See pics for updated pricing. Let's just say that prices have also gone up significantly. Entrees run in the $20-25 range now, but there's the saving grace of endless soup or salad. 2 entrees, 2 non alcoholic drinks, 1 appetizer and dessert can really add up to $100 these days.

    My family and I came here today. Spent over $80 in food. Unfortunately my husband and my dish came out 20 minutes after our three children got their food. We also had hair in our alfredo with dipping sauce.. terrible!

    Use to go to Olive garden all the time. Think it used to be better, but it is still good. Love the breadsticks and the salad. Tour of Italy is a great choice.

    We visited Olive Garden and had a wonderful experience! The food was delicious and our server, Nolan, was very kind and attentive. I would highly recommend coming here with your family and friends.

    They put broccoli covered in black spots in my fettuccini. When I googled “black spots on broccoli”- it came up as mold. They served me moldy broccoli 🥦 My server was fantastic, but the kitchen crew needs to cook and serve FRESH food.

    It had been years since I'd been to Olive Garden and many more years since I'd been to this location. Since it'd been a while, I wanted to try something new. After some very tasty salad (that needed more dressing), the Chicken & Shrimp Carbonara appeared. They did not disappoint with the amount of shrimp & chicken. The sauce was creamy; flavored with roasted peppers and bacon crumbs. The only thing it was missing was roasted garlic! That would have made the dish perfection. 😘🤌 There are two sides to this restaurant, I've always thought families should be seated on one side and singles, couples should be on the other side. This would be a personal preference, if the bar wasn't so small, I would've sat there. (Again, just my preference) Everything else you want in American Style Italian food, it was there. Would I have enjoyed the meal a bit more if there was roasted garlic, absolutely. Please keep that in mind if you're a garlic lover and enjoy your dinner! 😊 [Please note: picture from olive garden website, my dinner was nearly identical.]

    We have been here couple times as huge groups and personal ones and love the ambience. Food this time was nice and breadsticks were fresh and had a great garlic flavor. We ordered the strawberry vodka drink, tortellini and chicken marsala. The chicken gnocchi soup is what we always go for and the zeppoli is a must. We missed the raspberry dipping sauce along with it this time. Great service this time, we did have few bad ones before but this time it was great!

    I had dinner today march 6, 2023 with a date. I usually have a nice experience at olive gardens. Today was not one of those. Our waiter was good and the food was good. The problem was that there were 2 kids going table to table selling some kind of benefit candy. All the waiters saw this and evidently were ok with this. One of the kids tried to touch our food. Also, the people in the next booth had a large dog, that came around and looked into our booth. It didn't look like a service dog. Anyway, I will continue to eat at Olive Gardens, just never again at the one on Sunrise Blvd in Sacramento.

    My Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara was awesome. The daughter had the Tour and was underwhelmed. Soup, salad, and Bread Sticks are always good.

    This was a very nice dinner for date night. We were seated in a large booth and our waiter was very professional and provided wonderful table service. It was WAY too expensive, but so is everything. We had a gift card from Xmas so we got $50 off our overpriced meal and drinks.

    The service was great. My aunt and brother’s meals were good and of course we all loved the extra bread sticks, salad and soup. I order the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and scallops. The shrimp was ok but the scallops were terrible super fishy and not seared. I ate around them but I’ll never eat seafood from there again.

    Dinner was excellent. My husband steak was cooked to perfection. We were impressed the waiter ask my husband to check the steak before he left the table. My shrimp scampi was excellent and salad and breadsticks always the best. Service was great. They check constantly to make sure your service is great. Best meal we've had in a long time.

    Had a big party and location was not packed at all but servers were really slow. Food was amazing like always… Servers did get drinks and food right but took long to get refills and didn’t see the servers much to request things.

    Olive Garden must be slipping in their quality & ambiance. I love Italian food. The olive garden restaurant wher me & my 2 sister's had lunch lacked ambiance, quality service & the food was too bland. When I dine out its my expectation to first receive quality service. The waiter had to be reminded twice on certain items he forgot to bring back to our table. The seating area we were seated in lacked charm & ambiance. Felt like a cafe atmosphere. What a bummer. I ordered scampi shrimp with tomatoes asparagus & angelhair pasta. Pasta was dry. There were 5 shrimp, each size of a nickel. Don't know how they can justify that to be scampi. Truly was shrimp size. The dish lacked garlic herb olive oil seasoning. I entertain a lot & seasoning is important. Why use iceberg lettuce in salad when it has no flavor. Plus the salad only had sliced tomatoes & onions. Where's the rest of ingredients that's known to be in Italian salad. OMG, I can't believe I paid $3.79 for a glass of ice tea. I should have ordered a cocktail as the price would have been more acceptable for beverage. I'm not a cheap person, but I do expect quality. Well, I still love Italian food, but don't believe I'll frequent the olive garden restaurant in Citrus Heights. I'll most likely find another Italian restaurant with ambiance, great Italian food & quality service. No one should have to remind their server what to bring back to the table of paying customers. Place wasn't busy or packed with customers as we were there between 230pm-4pm. They would have received a tip if none of the above issues had not occurred. Therefore, olive garden, in my opinion, ranked a mere "2." Suggest train staff, upgrade ambiance & improve food quality.

    Today is mother's day so my children decided to take me to dinner. Great olive garden our favorite place. We had 3 chicken Alfredo's the pasta was not done. So my son and my husband finished eating dinner way before my girls and I. All I can say our waitress tried. I will never return.

    Delicious food I had chicken fettuccine Alfredo and salad, my drop dead gorgeous date had the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo and salad we arrived at 9:30 it took awhile to get our booth the servers were absolutely awesome. The drinks were perfectly strong. And the diaper changing station in the restroom is very sturdy. We are going there again. And finally I have to say thank you very much to Andy Gagnon my boss for the gift card that was a part of my holiday bonus.

    Treated Myself with a late Birthday Dinner: Zuppa Toscana, Shrimp Fritta Motto, and Lasagna Cabonara... Everything was delicious...

  • 5/5 Julie W J. 2 years ago on Google
    This was our first time so we ordered from the lunch options. My hubby had Linguini Alfredo and I ordered their lightly sauced and flavorful angel hair pasta topped with shrimp, asparagus and diced tomatoes. We each chose the minestrone soup which was loaded with veggies, pasta and beans and savored their tasty bread sticks. We were full after our meals. The lunch portion size was just right. We look forward to eating here again! 😋

    Food was great and service was great the chicken and shrimp carbonara was good but I’ve had better at other places

  • 5/5 Matthew L. 1 year ago on Google
    We had dinner here this evening and Lindsay was amazing! Not only amazing but genuine. Best customer service I've experienced in a long time. They were so sweet and very attentive and gave great suggestions. Lindsay was more than ready to go out of their way to accommodate us and the tables around us too coming up with creative solutions to keep everyone happy. I would come back here specifically because of Lindsay and the amazing experience that they made of our dinner tonight. Thank you Lindsay!!!
