I was craving some pasta so we tried this place for dinner. There was a 30 minute wait but they’re very efficient how they handle the flow. My shrimp Scampi was dry and a disappointment. The lasagna and meatballs were better. The bread is very good and I definitely recommend this. My minestrone soup was part of my meal and it was just so-so. Our server was friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable which is good, especially since the food won’t be winning any awards. If you need to go, I recommend take out.

For lunch I had the Gnocchi soup, salad and bread sticks and paired it with a Moscato just because . I sat at the bar since it was empty and I could have a chance to catch up on my schoolwork. The server was amazingly efficient and my order was out to me in record time. When I asked for a sweet Moscato, he brought out 2 kinds for me to try although after trying the 1st, my mind was made up. The gnocchi soup was perfect as was the bread sticks which is my reason for returning . I’ve been coming to this olive garden since 2005 and it’s always a treat.

Outstanding Service at Olive Garden – Store 1027
Our visit to Olive Garden Store 1027 was absolutely wonderful thanks to our server, Ashley. From the moment we were seated, she was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. She was knowledgeable about the menu, gave excellent recommendations, and ensured everything was prepared exactly as requested.
Ashley checked on us consistently without being overbearing, kept our drinks full, and maintained a warm, professional attitude throughout our meal. Her level of care and customer service truly stood out and made our dining experience memorable.
Thank you, Ashley, for the exceptional service, you are a true asset to Olive Garden Store 1027!

We just tried to eat at the Olive Garden at 14th and Cortez in Bradenton. Drove 10 miles. When trying to ask for a table for two we were told rudely to wait a couple of minutes to tell them our needs. Then asking for a table for two disabled people with walkers they ignored us to talk about schedules. I have eaten at Darden Restaurants for over 30 years and never have been treated like this. We will never be gracing this restaurant again.

Our experience has always been good at every location of Olive Garden including this one.
Our food was delayed and our server kept us updated on the status and the manager was very courteous and served us when the food was ready.
Ambience is great.

I want to take a moment to recognize Michelle, the manager tonight at Olive Garden. After a long day and a stressful dinner with my little ones, there was a mistake with our to-go order. I called expecting it to be awkward or complicated, but instead I was met with so much kindness and understanding.
Michelle was calm, compassionate, and genuinely caring. She didn’t just “fix” the issue — she made me feel heard and valued as a customer. You can tell when someone truly cares about the experience they’re providing, and she absolutely does.
It’s rare to encounter that level of warmth and professionalism. She completely turned our night around, and I’m so grateful for the way she handled everything.
Thank you, Michelle, for going above and beyond.

Went here to celebrate my partner’s birthday and despite there being a large group of people, the service was still very quick. Our Server, Mary, was kind and very fast with refills of drinks and soup. Before sending out people to sing the birthday song she asked if he’d prefer a song or no song which I thought was a very considerate thing to do. 10/10 I will be returning the next time I want moderately priced Italian food.

Tanica was so helpful getting my party of 25 situated. She really came through for my daughter’s 4th birthday dinner. I appreciate her so much, along with the 2 lovely lady servers we had. I can’t remember their names but everything & everyone was so helpful.

We were in the middle of our lunch when a couple with a DOG was seated next to us. This was certainly not a SERVICE DOG by any stretch of the imagination. We finished our meal and I asked at the front desk if dogs were allowed in the restaurant. I was told by the two women at the front that they are “not allowed to ask” and nothing could be done. There didn’t appear to any manager around and we left. Non-SERVICE DOGS have no business in a restaurant.
