Olive Garden Italian Restaurant 3511 North Freeway Boulevard, Sacramento, CA 95834

"Olive garden is a national franchise business and it doesn't reflect authentic Italian food. If you don't want to boil your noodles, make your sauce and put plates out for the family. This is a good spot to go to. Service is fabulous. Check out a few recipes that you can pick up online or at a good old fashioned bookstore. Try to find the bookstores that have old versions of recipes. The newer stuff doesn't taste the same because the ingredients change for certain reasons. I'll take my alfredo sauce over anybody's but that's just me."

"I wish there were a half-star option! The 4 of us sat at a large booth next to the "banquet" room because it was a working lunch. Service from Alexa was 4 stars. The next server was a bit confused. My salad bowl was tasty. The other 3 each had a different soup and enjoyed them. My fettuccine Alfredo was good, not remarkable but quite passable. The others enjoyed their entrees too. It's reliable and what you'd expect from a national chain. I would go again. It's good value for the pretty reasonable prices."

"The food was terrible. The bread sticks were hard as rocks and old. The gnocchi soup literally had 1 gnocchi in it!! The spinach artichoke dip appetizer was burned, and only the very center was not stuck to the plate. The chicken was undercooked. Overall, terrible! I did complain to the manager and played the drums to the waiter with the rock-hard "bread" sticks. Left unsatisfied, unhappy, and paying over $100. Checking in online is not real time. I had to wait an additional 15 min after arrival to be seated, when online, I said less than 10 min."

"Personally I love Olive Garden. The food was yummy and the service was good. The portions are great and you can’t forget the never ending soup and salad that comes with the entrees. The calamari is always a must when I come. This Olive Garden in particular has always treated me well. Service is relatively fast and the staff is kind."
