Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious -- the chicken Alfredo was rich and flavorful, the lasagna tasted like authentic homemade Italian comfort food, the pizza was fantastic, and the Caesar salad was fresh and perfectly prepared.

The staff was so welcoming, attentive, and patient with our grandkids, making the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable for our whole family.

I was with some friends in Ashland for a bachelorette outing this spring, and the restaurant where…read morewe had planned on eating dinner ended up having an event going on and we were unable to go there. We ended up just wandering around the area looking for an alternative and stumbled upon Osteria La Briccola; I'm always down for Italian, and it looked like there were some good options for the members of our group who were gluten free. There were 7 of us though, and we were told it would be about a 50-minute wait for a table. It was getting kind of late to be looking for somewhere else to go, so we were like okay, we'll just sit and wait. As we were walking away, the general manager Daniel rushed out and said if we could give him 15 minutes, he could have us set up in the private dining room. We didn't even know such a thing existed, but we said okay, cool. Reader, it could not have possibly been a better experience. We waited a bit (less than 15 minutes, even) and walked into this private space to find a large family-style dining table all set up for us, with candlelight and music and the whole bit. Our server Patrick was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the menu, able to answer all our questions, and had a great sense of humor. Everyone ordered something different and ended up trying bites of each other's food, and it was all delicious. Several of us even ordered dessert; I don't normally, but the salted caramel gelato sounded too good to pass up (and it was well worth it). It was such a great evening and was, I'm sure, 10x better than the other place we'd originally planned on eating at. Thank you Daniel and Patrick for taking such good care of us!

They left some of the signage from whatever the building was before. Table setup was very thoughtful. Waiter was pleasant. Seemed like a local spot because they greeted most people arriving by name.

My son ordered the ribeye and it was cooked to perfection. He didn't like the potato torte. If I'm in the area again, I would for sure visit!

On January 11, 2025, we arrived for a late lunch at around 2:30 pm. I felt a bit anxious about…read moredining here since there were only two other patrons present when we walked in. The restaurant's decor is charming, reminiscent of a classic Italian eatery. However, as soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted by a musty, moldy odor. Despite this unpleasant smell, we decided to take a seat. The first bread basket they served us was cold, with hard bread that seemed to have been sitting out for quite some time. It was nothing special, tasting like the inexpensive garlic bread you find in grocery stores, packaged for the oven. Fortunately, our server was attentive and friendly, bringing us a second basket of hot bread. I attempted to appreciate the mediocre bread but ultimately gave up. Throughout our meal, the server consistently checked on us and ensured our drinks were filled. We ordered a variety of dishes: lunch lasagna, lunch Alfredo, a kid's spaghetti with two meatballs, a large Caesar salad, and a 16" Audrey pizza topped with white garlic sauce, dried red peppers, artichoke hearts, chicken, and bacon. The first dish to arrive was the Caesar salad, which was disappointing. The dressing lacked complexity, missing the necessary lemon juice and anchovies. The red sauce on the lasagna tasted like it came straight from a jar, and the lasagna itself was quite unremarkable. The fettuccine Alfredo was lacking in flair as well. The portion was small, and I would recommend adding a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce and garnishing the dish with fresh Italian parsley for a better flavor. Surprisingly, the kid's plate of spaghetti and meatballs was priced at $19. I couldn't understand how that was justified. The spaghetti was overcooked, lacking the desired al dente texture, and the marinara sauce was bland. The meatballs were dense and needed more seasoning. The wood-fired pizza was the highlight of the meal for me. However, I believe they left it in the oven for a minute or two too long. I conducted a slice challenge: when I lifted a slice, it wouldn't fold at all and was overly crispy, indicating it was overbaked. For dessert, we chose cannoli and tiramisu. Unfortunately, both desserts felt average, and I was not particularly excited about either. I understand that the economy is challenging and making a profit in the restaurant industry is difficult. However, given the numerous positive reviews, I anticipated a higher standard from this establishment. Basic elements like quality bread and homemade marinara sauce could significantly enhance the dining experience. In general, my family was not particularly impressed with the food quality. On a positive note, the server and the busgirl/front end greeter were very friendly. Regrettably, I will not be ordering from here again, nor will I recommend this restaurant to others.

The server was a teenager with no sense of humor but that's ok. Our food was fine. We ordered pasta and my husband and I shared a salad. We ate lots of bread and they refilled as needed-2 kinds. White & wheat. It was fine. We each got a different pasta dish. I had one of the specials of the day. It was a fettuccine with creamy dill and mustard sauce with chicken. I had enough for my lunch the next day (but I did eat a lot of bread before the salad & pasta came). I'm writing this a week later and to be honest I don't remember much about the salad, if that tells you anything. Others in our party had eggplant parm which came with pasta, another pasta dish with added meatballs, and angel hair pasta with prawns. Nobody raved about how amazing their food was, nor did they complain. I noticed somebody else's review about dirty menus but I didn't notice that so maybe they took care of that. All in all, I wasn't impressed, but nor was I displeased overall. It was just...fine...

Unfortunately, this visit was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've ever had. Before arriving, one member of our group called to reserve a table but was told they couldn't add her name over the phone and that she would need to do so in person. She arrived about 10 minutes later and put our name on the waitlist, with the rest of us arriving shortly after. After waiting about 15-20 minutes, one person in our group politely asked for an estimated wait time. Instead of receiving a simple update, the manager, Becky, responded in a confrontational and unprofessional manner. She accused our group of mistreating and cursing at the hostess--something that simply did not happen. No one in our group was disrespectful, loud, or argumentative. Several members of our party have years of experience working in restaurants, including serving, restaurant ownership, and family businesses. We understand how challenging the restaurant industry can be, which is exactly why we were so shocked by the manager's behavior. Rather than de-escalating the situation or addressing our concerns respectfully, she raised her voice, continued making accusations, and ultimately told our entire group to leave. We never expected immediate seating, especially with a large party. Our only question was about the expected wait time. A professional manager should be able to answer a reasonable question without creating unnecessary conflict. As a result, Olive Garden lost the business of 11 paying customers that day, and unfortunately, our group will be choosing other restaurants in the future. In all my years of dining out, I have never been asked to leave a restaurant under circumstances like these. The staff members we interacted with were not the issue. This experience was the direct result of poor management and a complete lack of professionalism. I sincerely hope Olive Garden provides additional leadership and customer service training for its managers, because no customer should be treated the way we were.
