coming from europe you will find out that everything here tastes bland. keeping that in mind we order fettuccine alfredo with chicken, we paid 27$ for that plate portion wise it was ok, it was full of chicken and butter so its not something amazing….the service was amazing it was the only place we left a tip. the restaurant is next to times square so its really easy to get there….for sure you have to try it once…the breadsticks were ok and since they are free its a good thing to have

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Dining Experience at Olive Garden – 2 Times Square, New York!
I recently visited the Olive Garden Italian Restaurant located at 2 Times Square, and I have to say—it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish!
From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome. The service was truly excellent—attentive, warm, and perfectly paced. Every team member I interacted with went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, all while maintaining a friendly and professional attitude.
And the food… wow. Every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully prepared, and incredibly satisfying. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces were rich and fresh, and even the classic breadsticks were warm and irresistible. You can really taste the care that goes into each plate.
Whether you’re a local or just visiting Times Square, this Olive Garden is a fantastic choice for a relaxing and delicious Italian meal in the middle of the city’s excitement. I left completely happy and definitely planning to return soon.
Highly recommend! ✨

Olive Garden Times Square — Comfort Italian Dining in the Heart of New York

One of the restaurants I chose for a proper sit-down meal during my time in Times Square, New York, was Olive Garden. After a full day of walking, sightseeing, and soaking in the energy of the city, this place felt like a comfortable and familiar stop for a hearty Italian-style dinner right in the middle of Manhattan.

Olive Garden is an Italian-American restaurant chain that was founded in 1982 in Florida, USA. The concept behind the brand is simple: serve Italian-inspired dishes that are generous in portion, rich in flavor, and easy to enjoy. Over the years, Olive Garden has grown into one of the most recognizable casual dining restaurants in the United States, and the Times Square location is especially popular among tourists from all over the world.

Location
Olive Garden Times Square is located in the Theater District, just steps away from Times Square itself. The location is extremely convenient, whether you are coming from shopping areas, nearby attractions, or planning to watch a Broadway show. Several subway lines are within walking distance, making it very easy to reach.

Must-Try Popular Dishes
One of the highlights of dining at Olive Garden is the complimentary Unlimited Breadsticks and House Salad. The warm breadsticks are soft, buttery, and addictive, while the fresh salad with the signature dressing is light and refreshing.

For main dishes, the most popular menu items include:
• Fettuccine Alfredo, a classic favorite featuring flat pasta coated in a rich, creamy parmesan sauce
• Chicken Parmigiana, breaded chicken topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese, served with spaghetti
• Shrimp Scampi, sautéed shrimp with garlic and white wine sauce, offering a lighter and fresher taste
• Lasagna Classico, layered pasta with meat sauce and cheese for those who want something filling

For dessert, Tiramisu is a top choice, offering a perfect balance of coffee flavor and creamy sweetness.

⏰ Opening Hours
Olive Garden Times Square is generally open daily from around 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, though hours may be extended during weekends or peak tourist seasons.

Prices
Considering the location and portion sizes, the prices are reasonable:
• Main dishes usually range from $20 to $30
• Desserts are around $8 to $10
• The unlimited breadsticks and salad make the meal feel even more worth the price

Atmosphere
The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, making it suitable for families, couples, and groups. Despite being in a busy area like Times Square, the interior feels warm and welcoming, with a casual Italian ambiance. The service is efficient and friendly, even during busy dinner hours.

✨ Final Thoughts

Olive Garden Times Square is a reliable choice if you are looking for a satisfying Italian-style meal in a comfortable setting. The food is hearty, the portions are generous, and the location is perfect for tourists. For anyone wanting a relaxed dinner after exploring New York City, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

First and last time at Olive Garden. The food was pretty good, but the service needs serious work. When we arrived up the escalator we didn’t immediately realise the hostess desk was a sharp left and left again, and the attitude of this particular staff member appeared to be annoyance based on her facial expression, rather than understanding of the confusion. This set the tone for the entire meal. Our waiter was friendly but not attentive, he delivered our starters but we had no cutlery, and it took five minutes to get anyone’s attention to resolve the matter. It could have been solved quicker if staff were not continuously on their phones or chatting to each other. One staff member was on their phone 50 minutes out of the hour, they were in my line of sight and it was hard to ignore the unprofessionalism. Then, when our food did arrive, one of the orders was incorrect, but it was resolved quickly. Finally, when our bill came, I was asked directly what % tip I would be giving, when I said 20%, the particular staff member rolled his eyes, as I assume he wanted more. This place needs a serious management and staff overhaul, it should be the flagship store and be setting that standard. Service charge should be for good service, not whatever this was.

The biggest Olive Garden ever been in. Food as super fresh, tasty & portion sizes are huge.
As always the warm garlic bread sticks are out of this world, so so delicious especially paired with the Alfredo Sauce!!
Service was fantastic, Molly E was super nice & friendly – super attentive at refilling drinks & the breadsticks. At the end brought some boxes over so we could take leftovers back with us & gave us an extra breadstick as we mentioned they were main reason for going there!

First time at Olive Garden. Got the unlimited pasta deal w/ my friends for the memes. Felt so sick after bc I ate so much – couldn’t eat any pasta for a month after False fire alarm went off while we were here LMAO

– Never ending pasta bowl ($19.99): 5/10, could only eat 2 bowls of pasta + 1 bowl of soup. Tomato sauces >>> cheese sauces. The bread sticks are fire. Everything was too salty LOL, esp the meats

I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at Olive Garden yesterday, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, but what truly set the evening apart was the thoughtful attention to detail.
I ordered the shrimp pasta, which arrived perfectly cooked — the sauce was balanced and rich, and the shrimp were tender, fresh, and generously portioned. My husband chose the steak pasta, and the combination of textures and flavors in his dish was impressive; the steak was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with the pasta.
But what truly made the night unforgettable was our server. He not only provided impeccable service throughout the meal, but also made my birthday feel genuinely celebrated. When he learned it was my special day, he offered heartfelt congratulations and surprised me with a complimentary dessert — a gesture that felt sincere rather than routine. It added a personal touch that elevated the entire experience.
This visit reminded me why Olive Garden remains such a beloved restaurant: it’s not just about the food, but about creating moments that feel meaningful. My birthday dinner turned into a memory I’ll treasure, thanks to the combination of exceptional dishes, warm hospitality, and a team that clearly cares about their guests.
I wholeheartedly recommend Olive Garden to anyone looking for a place where great flavors and thoughtful service come together to create something truly memorable.

We had an amazing experience at Olive Garden NY thanks to our waitress, Jual. The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was even better. Jual was incredibly attentive to detail, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. He checked in at just the right times and made us feel truly taken care of. This was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had—thank you, Jual, for such excellent service!

Olive Garden used to be one of my favorite restaurants—great food, great ambiance—but it’s definitely going downhill, or maybe it was just this specific location (Downtown Manhattan).

The place is huge, clearly designed to handle large crowds since it’s in the heart of a major tourist area. Although the restaurant was full, we were seated immediately, which was impressive.

We ordered the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo, which was surprisingly bland—no flavor, not even salt. The lasagna tasted like a store-bought frozen meal: dry on the inside and drowned in a thick sauce that didn’t complement it well.

The main course came with a large shared salad and some breadsticks, both at no extra cost. When we asked for olive oil and butter, the staff brought them right away, again free of charge—which was appreciated.

I also ordered a beer and a margarita; my friend found the margarita overly sweet and hard to enjoy.

The highlight of the visit was definitely the service. Our waiter Anthony was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive. All the other staff were pleasant and professional too.



Overall:
Great service, but unfortunately, the food didn’t meet expectations. Hoping it was just an off day for this location.
