Olive Garden Italian Restaurant 1107 West Valley Parkway, Escondido, CA 92025

"We came and were sat fairly quickly so that was nice. Our waitress was very kind and accommodating even though it was so busy. When we ordered our pasta, there was literal bugs crawling around in the pasta. We didn’t want to make it a big deal and scare everyone off but we deeply regret that now because it was absolutely disgusting. The bugs were small, round, and black. There were several in the pasta. The manager came to apologize, she said “I’m sorry that happened” and then left. We paid for what we did eat (breadsticks, salad, drinks) and left. Never ever coming back, I think the health department should check this out. Truly gross. Please take this seriously."

"Pretty good food but kinda pricey thesedays. Our server was fantastic today. Yay Ashley W! Cost $145 for 5 to eat, with no drinks. Large menu with something for everyone. We always enjoy OG."

"Horrible incident happened after having dinner in Olive Garden with one other family on January 12th 2024. Yes SHOCKINGLY we found many small GLASS PIECES in the kids smoothies after we came back home and tried the left over smoothie. The glass pieces were too small around 0.4mm that my kids did not feel anything while drinking. My kids drank almost half if it. We called the manager "Jeff" immediately to inform this but shockingly instead of taking any action he offered us the gift card to trade for. This made me so frustrated. I called again the next day and asked for the complaint call number and they gave me incorrect number. PLEASE PLEASE AVOID going to this location. Attaching the Photos of the glass pieces."

"Our server, Liam, was so amazing! He was very attentive, helpful, and super nice. We went for my birthday lunch/dinner around 4pm and it was pretty empty. I also got a free dessert! He recommended the chocolate brownie lasagna and it was pretty good. Really rich."

"Wow! Who ever the staff was Friday night 05/19/23 was EXCELLENT! I brought my hubby for his birthday, I would HIGHLY recommend going on their website and reserving table there . I did for party of 2. Waited about 25 minutes around 7:30 not bad. Our server Claire (I believe) was on top of it! Super friendly and recommend the appetizer (so good) & I don’t drink alcohol so she recommend a yummy limeade drink she mixed with sprite (sooooo good) This Escondido location is good! Packed and food was delicious thanks again!"
