Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Sacramento

We got there when it opened so we were able to get seated quickly. We were given a table in a singled out space which was nice. The food was ready in good time and beside the chicken strips being a bit browned everything was delicious. The endless salad and breadsticks were a plus. The server we had could have been friendlier and seemed a bit bothered by my group asking questions about the menu and basically pointed out where on the menu we could get the answer to our own questions. There were also several times we asked for things and she did not come back to bring them, instead we had to ask someone else. Needless to say I was not impressed with the service. The portions were good for the price.

I dont often frequent Olive Garden but I think I might have to now! I went twice within the past month and the food was delicious and the service was wonderful (and much more exceptional at night). I come here mainly for the unlimited soup but the other food is still great. I usually get the ravioli with Alfredo sauce with lots of cheese. The main reason Id like to go back (besides the soup) is that the staff is very accommodating and service is superb. They stop by your table just enough times to be helpful but not overly annoying. And theyre on top of bringing you what you request (i.e. refills, utensils, more soup, etc.)I also enjoy ordering the $6 take-home fettuccine Alfredo (with the purchase of entree) so I can enjoy more pasta later.It can get a little pricey (my bill usually ends up around $80) but its worth it for the occasional dine-in.

Everyone here is super rude! Service was bad. Food was cold and flavorless. The restaurant was dirty. The server wouldnt take dirty dishes off the table so I had no room. Bathrooms were gross. One of the servers almost hit my car driving recklessly through the parking lot. Bread was burnt! Absolutely disgusted with the food and service!!! Will not be coming back here at all

It’s Friday (3/3) night dinner with the family. Added us to the waitlist. Within arrival waiting just about 10-15 minutes after checking in, was seated. The space was clean as usual (we’ve dined here before). Host was friendly and courteous. Our waiter was amazing! Took our order, very polite, and tentative but not too much. Food was served within 15 minutes after ordering. Salad was amazing. Soup was excellent. And the food was awesome! I ordered the Chicken Marsala Fettuccine. Rest of the family ordered the Lasagna, the standard Fettuccine, Kids Pizza, and the Shrimp Carbonara. All the food turned out great. I can’t say enough about the Chicken Marsala Fettuccine. It’s a new item on the menu and I highly recommend it. Super tasty and yummy! We paired it with the house Cabernet. The wine was okay, didn’t expect much. It’s not the highest quality, just something to pair with the food. Food Taste 5/5. Food Presentation 4.5/5. Service 5/5. Restaurant Cleanliness 5/5. Wait time to be seated 5/5. Wait time to getting food 5/5. Wine (Cabernet) 3/5. Value/Cost Ratio: 4.5/5. Overall, we had a great experience. We’ve been here many times before but this is the first I’m writing a review of this place. Highly recommend and would definitely return. We’ve never been disappointed.

The food was great and i love the Suppa Tuscana. We ordered the herb garlic salmon which was really tasty, and tour of Italy ( lasagna, fettucini, alfredo & effgplant pamersiana ) for the main dish.OMG! We couldnt finish our main dish because the salad (free), garlic bread and soup, made us full immediately.Over all, i like the place, its nice to have a dinner date or celebrate something special for a couple or family. The parking is available.

Food is mid. The crispy chicken on my fettuccine was dry. Calamari was good. Shrimp scampi was disgusting do not recommend. Our server was awesome tho. Got full pretty fast on bread sticks n soup

Was up in Saragosa all weekend with ol Buskus Beltwater movin his team of Clydesdales from the Hopscotch Ranch down to the Flat Iron Spread for the upcoming winter, and he gave me a whole 20 bucks and said dinners on me! All I could say is WOW! 20 whole dollars for food....are ya sure!Olive Garden Italian Restaurant was in my sights when I came through Sacramento on my way up, so Im stopping at the Garden on my way back through. Its a 5 star joint, thats for sure! ☆☆☆☆☆ the food was amazing.

If I was to base my experience based on the first server alone, Id put 1 star across the board. Ive bumped the stars to 4 because Travis (the Olive Garden Area manager) and Stephanie (a fairly new server) have excellent customer service and turned my birthday dinner around for the win!Stephanie replaced the rude server we started off with. Stephanie was amazing! She came and corrected some stuff that was messed up, gave my group of 10 and I to go containers & bags, and even sang happy birthday to me. This might not seem like much but for the birthday concluding dinner, it was everything for me. Nothing went unnoticed Stephanie and I wish you the best of luck in your daily life. Based on what I saw last night, youre definitely going places! Thank you (and Travis) for everything you did for my group and I.(For me personally), Elizabeth was a rude server. I asked her if she was new as I would have given her a pass (as she ignored me on multiple occasions for a variety of things (water, to go box, & most importantly, NO LEMON in my tea nor on my plate as I HAVE A CITRUS ALLERGY). She mentioned taking the lemon out to where I stated my allergy is more severe than shes aware of & I would need a whole new cup and drink. She stated shes been here awhile so I took it as theres no reason for her to be so rude to my group of 10. Our table was overcrowded as she kept bringing dishes without removing the empty ones. She would reach over people to give us food and drinks. Thats one thing I dont play about. I find it rude and disrespectful. I felt like half of the table was being ignored as 3 of us had the same issues with her. I later found out a big group before us had given her a difficult time and Im sorry to hear that but its kinda part of the waitress/ server game. Im sorry you were so overwhelmed from work last night and extend an apology for snapping at you the way I did. As a teacher, I have a lot of patience and some reason ran out after being ignored a third time. As today is a brand new day, hopefully your next shift will be better.Overall, 4/5 ⭐ thanks to Travis (the Olive Garden Arden manager) and Stephanie (a fairly new server) ‼️ Keep up the great work you two! Its because of you, I wanna spend my hard earned money at Olive Garden.

My recent visit to the Olive Garden restaurant left me with mixed feelings. The restaurants dated appearance and the unsettling, mysterious odors were definitely detractors from the overall experience. However, I must commend the hardworking waitstaff who managed to provide excellent service despite these challenges. Their dedication and effort were truly commendable. Its my hope that the management considers renovating the establishment to enhance the overall dining environment.

Mia was a fantastic server!! She anticipated our every need all with a smile. The all-you-can-eat soup and salad was yummy and very fresh, and those breadsticks just taste soooo good.
