Olive Garden is my favorite restaurant. I LOVE the salad. My favorite thing is the 5 cheese ziti. it is amazing.

I have worked here before, and besides putting up with the cheap people that love to come here, i think the food is ridiculous as far as ingredients. Everything is loaded with so much cheese, dairy, fat, butter on everything, it's to mask the lack of passion that is put into the recipes. I wish it was more mediterranean style. Plus they shove wine in your face from the moment you walk into the door. If you are going to want to have wine, you will know that before you walk into the door. It seems the employees with the worst work ethic are in charge of salad and breadsticks. It's not that hard, yet they find ways to ruin it. Especially leaving the breadsticks unwrapped for too long will make them hard, dry, gummy, like people have complained about on here. Lately they have been cutting portions to keep down costs.

Its not as horrible as some say, but believe me when I say that my small slice of Sicilian ancestry and a slow cooker would hand these guys their asses...

I am very, very ethnocentric ( being of partial Italian ancestry) when it comes to Italian food and avoid this dump like the plague. Rule of thumb- NEVER go to an Italian restaurant( especially in a neighborhood in certain parts of the Midwest or The South where they probably stopped tarring and feathering Italians last Wednesday) where the manager's name is something like Chip Baxter.

If there is worse Italian food served anywhere on the planet, I'll be very surprised.

The bread sticks are AMAZING!! But Grece is better than Victor the bread sticks are softer and the wait is shorter.

I work at OG so i actually know what it's all about. It's the poor man's or should I just say the cheap man's Italian paradise. Unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks is probably the biggest inhumanity ever commited against OG servers. Screw all you cheap bastards who stuff your face with those margarine soaked breadsticks. Screw you soup and saladers who only pay 7 bucks a person to get so full you could vomit and still only tip 2 or 3 dollars. If you are so cheap you're gonna get the most inexpensive, most easily abusable meal, at least give your server 5 bucks for all of the disappointment he or she has from not boosting their sales!

i love the atmosphere in the Indianapolis restaurant but there's one that sucks in Anderson. It really depends on where you visit. The waiters are on different ends of the spectrum (when comparing Anderson's and Indy's)... I'd never go to the Anderson's restuarant..ever again.. but Indy (I live halfway between both) I will visit anytime!

Free Breadsticks and Salad BABY! bring on the free wine and now we're talking, and the kickass food of course, the atmosphere is the best.

Ack the only reason I even went here in the first place was because I got a gift card for it for christmas. Nasty. Sauce from a can (aren't they all) the day that we went, we got there around 8 and this is in New York, where people eat dinner til 2 in the morning sometimes. And they packed us all into this itty bitty area with bright lights above, like a cafeteria and everyone was talking, but it was so close that everyone could hear each other's conversations. It was a god-awful meal and a god-awful experience. never again I tell ya.

If this is Italian than Del Taco is a great Mexican restaurant.
