This is a really great Olive garden location. The staff is very friendly and willing to help you out, the food was delicious and prepared well, and the dining area is well kept and clean. One of the staff members mentioned that this is the largest olive garden in California. I tried the eggplant parmesan and it was delicious, the eggplant is prepared with care and almost melts in your mouth. As always the breadsticks are delicious and the salad was great too! I would recommend the chocolate cheesecake dessert.

Fast casual chain located in the Manhattan Beach Mall area. Came here with a group of 9 and we had a semi-private room. We had put our name down on a Saturday evening and it took about an hour to get a table. There is plenty of parking available. Indoor dining only. Credit cards accepted.They have the ongoing supply of breadsticks and salad/minestrone soup. They do have other soup options (including a cream based option - a Tuscan soup or other). Our waiter was nice and the staff was helpful in checking in for water refills. I had a hearty portion for my chicken and shrimp pasta - there was plenty for two servings of leftovers the following day. We tried the brownie lasagna, strawberry shortcake, and tiramisu since three people in our group were celebrating birthdays, and they were kind enough to put little candles and sing “Happy Birthday” alongside us. Truly a spot to feel like family alongside the multiple groups of people looking to indulge in the breadsticks and pasta carb fest.

We had no wait on this past Tuesday evening, were promptly greeted and seated. Our order was taken within minutes of sitting. We ordered the calamari and spinach-artichoke dip for appetizers. That came first along with bread sticks, my salad that came with my entree, and my daughters chicken & gnocchi soup that came with her entree. Then we had the spaghetti and lasagna for entrees. I also ordered the Bellini peach raspberry iced tea. The food was nice and hot when received, it was delicious and flavorful. The young lady that served us was great, very friendly and helpful. And even the manager made rounds and stopped at our table twice during our visit to make sure everything was okay. Definitely will return and recommend.

I was there for my birthday and we always have a great time here - Tour of Italy, calamari, spinach dip. Great service - we had about 9 people on a Saturday night after Thanksgiving. I like it because its something for everyone - very young to very old and anywhere in-between. Vegetarians and even lactose intolerant 😄 great for families.

Olive Garden seems to be a consistent okay experience if youre looking for a decent pasta. Their calamari appetizer had the right flavor but the pieces came out soft instead of crunchy, feeling warmed up rather than just freshly cooked. The pasta I ate had a good flavor but it also suffered that just warmed feeling and that couldnt escape my mind. The Italian Margarita for $9 is alright but really becomes good when you add the $2 patron add on. Nothing memorable, nothing disappointing. Its just Olive Garden: the Italian restaurant you go to when you dont know any other Italian restaurants in the area.

Overall good experience. Havent been in awhile and new to this branch out in Manhatten Beach. Service was slow in the beginning but picked up after ordering. Of course the free bread is always yummy. Ordered 2 entrées which comes with soup or salad, appetizer and one kids menu item. Food was good, not great, but good. Of course being a mega chain restaurant, the service and food is consistent, or it should be, so thats always a plus.

When it comes to Olive Gardens, this one lives up to the hype. I attended a group get together where the breadsticks were perfectly toasted and served as the perfect starter for all of us to break bread.Comradery filled the air not only from all the guests but also the wait staff. Atmosphere was great and the lighting was phenomenal, not to bright but not to dim.Applebees, eat your heart out. This Olive Garden is bringing an Italian infusion to your neighborhood bar and grille.

For my 1st time at Olive Garden, thanks to Joan (the manager), it was an amazing experience, the service was fast and efficient while also caring. She really made my partner and Is day with the energy she brung, made us feel special for our birthdays and the attentiveness to us and others that were dining there. Compliments to the chef and the other staff was well and everyone was friendly and the food was great, had to take some back. When I do go back to LA I will be going to this branch for Olive Garden again!

Hadnt been here for 6yrs. Just moved back in town and decided to go. There was a bit of delay being seated though it was not busy. (Short staff) once seated our server was very attentive during the whole visit. The food was hot and very tasty I loved everything. I ordered tour of Italy delicious especially the chicken parmesan
