Food was awesome
-
Lovely food, but service felt rushed! Hadn't finished our starters when the salad/soup course was on the table, and you barely start eating, when main course comes out, then after 5 minutes of eating main, they ask if you want dessert, and if you say no the check is bought to the table, while you're still eating! Too rushed for me tbh.

Show de bola. Pão, sensacional. Macarrão à carbonara, espetacular

We had such a great experience at this Olive Garden!! The wait was almost nonexistent during dinner time, which is pretty unheard of. The food was great but the best thing was our server!! Dereck was one of the best servers i’ve ever had! Super kind, funny, and generous! He made sure to check up on us often and made great recommendations!! Would 100% go again just for the service :)

Absolutely mesmerizing! What a brilliant restaurant. I ordered the chicken alfredo and it was gorgeous! Homemade pasta wow!! We all had an amazing time, our food was yummy and we had the most polite, funny and kind waiter I have ever had. Our waiter was called "King James" and I cannot thank him enough for his great service! I would definitely recommend Olive Garden to anyone visiting Orlando, Florida and even better if you get the same server we had! He made our night and gave us all a laugh. Just wish he was able to keep all the tip!

My family and I had an amazing experience there! I would definitely recommend it to any local people or those who are visiting Orlando for a vacation.

Ich liebe das Essen einfach, genau wie die kostenlosen Optionen. Die Preise sind völlig in Ordnung, und manche Gerichte gint es auch als kleinere Portion

Te bread sticks were extremely hard
