Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Olive Garden is a chain, but if you can find a chair restaurant run well these days, well, keep going back. We sure enjoy the location in Kissimmee on W Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway. They have been consistently serving Italian food there for a really long time, and consistency is a restaurant virtue. So says me. Their salad (we pronounce it “sah lade” like on SpongeBob, you know, all boujee) is always great. Their soup is wonderful. Their breadsticks are always perfection. We have been adding the breadstick sauce to our meals- our favorite being meat sauce. And the chicken parm is still amazing after all these years. The wait staff has been consistently excellent and always attentive. The restaurant itself is clean as are the bathrooms. Their recent holiday decorations were nice and home

Food and service were great. There does seem to be alot of servers just hanging out at the hostess stand. If they are all there, I'm sure some of their tables are probably in need of something. As I walked out of the restaurant I passed 4 employees none of which greeted me goodbye. It not a huge deal but it is just as important to greet your customers hello as it is to great them goodbye. Your job isn't don't just because they guest have already paid.

Olive, the Italian restaurant, offers a mixed dining experience that left me with some highs and mostly lows. The service stands out as genuinely friendly and attentive—the staff greeted us warmly, checked in regularly without hovering, and made us feel welcomed throughout the meal. However, the standard Italian dishes were disappointing: predictable weak imitations of classics like pasta and pizza, lacking authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, or that homemade touch you'd expect from real Italian cuisine. The sauces felt overly processed, and portions were underwhelming for the price.That said, the steak was a highlight—perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful with a nice char, easily the best part of the menu. The shrimp dishes shone too, plump and garlicky, served with spot-on seasoning t

We had a great experience at Olive Garden. The service was prompt and friendly, and we were pleasantly surprised with a free salad on the house! It was fresh and crispy, as always. For my main course, the sirloin was cooked perfectly and was incredibly tender. The garlic shrimp scampi was also a hit—so flavorful and juicy. A solid, satisfying meal with a nice unexpected bonus. We'll be back!

We had dinner at Olive Garden and ate well. It’s a quiet place with a relaxed atmosphere, and the prices are very reasonable. Plus, the deal that lets you take an extra dish home for just six dollars more is really good. 🇺🇸
