It's good for what it is ... and Center City needs as many businesses as it can get! - Dino , posted 12/07/06

Bah!
Olive Garden is NOT real Italian food! I think it's a sin that in a city with so many good, real, authentic Italian restaurants that people would go for this when they want Italian food.

This is corporate America's penny-pinched, highest-profit-margin-possible version of what passes for Italian food in a country brought up on Chef BoyArDee and Pizza Hut.

The food it waaaay too salty, it's overcooked, and the bread bears no resemblance to real Italian bread. Head down to South Philly for real Italian food cooked by real Italians in the manner that it's cooked in Italy. This place sells itself by pushing all-you-can eat specials to people who equate massive quantities with quality. - Bill , posted 11/28/05

It's fucking Olive Garden, people!
I gotta give it a one-star just to drag down the inflated rating lavished on a CHAIN restaurant that serves BAD food! Good lord, some people wouldn't know good Italian food if it bit them in the ass! - Unsubscribed , posted 06/24/05

Yum
Good food and friendly service. The salad is awesome, and so is the raspberry lemonade. The chicken marsala is good. My mom really likes a pasta dish they make that's full of seafood (shrimp, scallops, mussels, etc). - Natasha , posted 05/27/05

Who doesn't love the Olive Garden
For anyone who hasn't been to one yet, the Olive Garden is the best bang for buck on the planet. You won't leave hungry and the food is great. All you can eat soup, salad, and breadsticks? You can't top that. - Ned , posted 05/11/05

Bah
They got rid of my favorite dishes when they went to the new menu. The service wasn't very good the last time I was here and I hate their policy about their "Bottomless Pasta" promotion; it's wasteful and stupid. - Arianna , posted 04/20/05
