Olive Garden never disappoints! We truly enjoyed our dinner—the food was delicious, and the complimentary soup and salad were a perfect start to the meal with bread. We began with the Stuffed Ziti Fritta as an appetizer, followed by Fettuccine Alfredo and the Grilled Chicken Margherita. The portions were very generous—more than enough for two people.
The service was excellent, the food quality was great, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a must-visit place for a satisfying meal. ✨

Everything tasted great! The salad was fresh. The meat on my steak pasta was tender 10 out of 10 highly recommend.

One of my favorite restaurants. Unfortunately, this time the service at the beginning was not the best. They took our name and the number of people with us, but it seems they forgot to call us or misplaced our name. After waiting about 40 minutes, we had to stand up and ask about our table. After that, they assigned a different staff member to take care of us. The delay was excessive, especially considering it was not a peak hour.

We were very excited to visit Olive Garden, and hadn’t been for a very long time so it was very much anticipated.
After we got sat, a server had not touched our table for 15 minutes or more, so we thought we had to order through the tablets but we noticed 2 other tables who arrived after were getting service before us. This was the first turn off but didn’t immediately deter our excitement. We ordered the endless soup & salad, and the soup was cold, the salad lacked any flavor, abd the breadsticks were cold, stale, and hard. The service also continued to be very slooooooow, and was just downright bad. We were going to order entrees but decided not to after how bad everything was.
I would not recommend this store to anyone, and would tell folks to travel further away to a different Olive Garden or go to any other Italian spot, pay more and have more fun elsewhere.
If you wanna have Olive Garden go to another city or state, or Poway or Carlsbad.

I had an extremely disappointing and disturbing experience at Olive Garden today. When my pasta arrived, I found a literal ball of hair tangled in the noodles—not just one strand, but what looked like 20+ short hairs all clumped together. It was disgusting, and especially concerning since we were dining with our 4-year-old. I worried he may have already eaten something contaminated.
I immediately showed the waitress, who kindly got the manager. Unfortunately, the manager (older lady) seemed unfazed, starting the conversation with “Did we find something unpleasant in our food today?” and barely reacting when I showed her the fork of hairy pasta. She only offered to remake the food or add a dessert. By then, our appetite was completely gone, and I felt uneasy about any of the food being safe.
When we declined, the waitress spoke to the manager again, and the manager decided to comp the meal and add a $50 gift card. While that gesture was appreciated, the manager never came back out to apologize personally or hand us the gift card—the waitress did. For something this serious, I expected genuine concern and accountability directly from management, not a dismissive attitude.
The only positive part of this experience was our waitress, who was kind, supportive, and clearly on our side through it all. Sadly, the incident caught the attention of nearby diners, making it even more uncomfortable.
This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. Food safety should always come first, and the way management handled it left me with no trust in this location. Honestly, this situation is so unsanitary that I believe it warrants a health inspector’s investigation.

Went in for the unlimited pasta deal with my party and was very pleased with the food, service and atmosphere! Highly recommend this location and the service. Benji was our server and he was very attentive, welcoming, and very positive attitude. Drinks stayed full and food came out quickly.

I ordered to go. The delivery driver was through uber and he did an amazing job. Mind you I love this Olive Garden, but I’ ordered delivery, please make sure my soup isn’t just broth as I am not getting refills like you typically do in the restaurant. And extra sauce would be appreciated as the pasta was on the dryer side than usual. Maybe it would be best to take this in consideration for delivery orders. It was packed well though!

Came here Saturday night with my boyfriend I was craving Olive Garden for date night , our server was a female who didn’t really acknowledge me at all but only was friendly and nice to my boyfriend and offered him drinks & food first , as a woman it’s rude but I get it she knows the man is paying but if I had a bad experience he’s not tipping so I’d hope management can bring awareness to this server and let her know customer service goes for both of your customers. Very male centered of her . I’ve been here before it’s always a great experience but this girl with a heavy accent needs more training in customer service . Food was great customer service lacked .

My partner loves to go to Olive Garden once in a while so we stopped by the Sports Arena location for some Unlimited Soup, Salad and Breadsticks. They weren’t super busy when we arrived so we were quickly seated and approached by our waitress. She was super attentive throughout the meal and made sure we never ran out of salad or bread. I was really craving salad so maybe why that’s why it tasted so fresh and delicious to me. Plenty of parking at this location.
