    We came here after hubby's procedure to dine for dinner. We were quickly taken to a table. While had to excuse himself, the server came to bring us menus. I asked for waters while we look over the menus. Hubby ordered the unlimited soup and salad and breadsticks, while I tried something new, the Calabrian steak and shrimp Bucatini. We were able to dine in peace when our soups, salad and breadsticks were served. By the time hubby got his 2nd bowl, my meal was served. Then a family of 4 was seated next to us and the sleepy toddler started to have a fit. Which made it hard to enjoy our evening. Then another family of 4 were seated next to us with their toddler, who was also not in the mood to be there. Making it all uncomfortable for us to dine in peace. So I then asked our server for a to-go box. Bringing our evening to an end.

    TLDR: Olive Garden in White Marsh delivered a surprisingly great endless pasta experience with excellent service, fast seating, and plenty of customizable pasta combos. Perfect for a carb fest after a long run. I rarely visit chain restaurants, let alone write reviews for them, but here we are. I am a total sucker for Olive Garden's Endless Pasta Bowl promotion and had not enjoyed it in several years, so I decided to give it another go after a seven mile morning run. If there was ever a day to gorge on carbs, this was it. We arrived a little before noon and the place was already buzzing, but our table for two was seated almost immediately which was a relief since we were starving. The endless pasta bowl is a simple concept that works well. For fourteen dollars you get unlimited pasta styles that you can mix and match with different sauces along with your choice of soup or salad and breadsticks. For five dollars more you can add proteins including meatballs, breaded chicken, or an Italian sausage link. My wife and I both opted for the protein add on and their classic salad. Our waitress was an absolute rockstar from start to finish. She understood the assignment completely and kept the pasta coming without hesitation. Between the two of us we tried seven different pasta and sauce combinations. We both agreed that the five cheese marinara paired with rigatoni was the clear winner. The proteins were fine, but honestly we could have skipped them since they sometimes distracted from the pasta which is the real star of the show. One tip for anyone planning to take full advantage. Your first bowl is the larger dinner portion. Refills are lunch sized, so make sure to order your favorite combination first and then experiment from there. Overall, Olive Garden in White Marsh hit the spot and made for a fun and filling visit. I would happily return for another endless pasta bowl next time the promotion comes around.

    I have not been to an Olive Garden in a while but with some strong cravings for the never ending pasta, decided to come for a visit. Upon entering, the manager and hostess was up front to greet us and promptly seat us. Once seated Kayla our waitress came right away and she promptly took our drink order and gave us some time to decide our dish. Kayla was prompt and provided amazing service during our visit! She was also very engaged with us as well as the other customers. Food wise, the pasta was cooked perfectly and the best sauce was the five cheese sauce with rigatoni. I also opted for the toppings and the chicken fritta was the best as I thought the meatball tasted too much freezer burned. If you've never been to an Olive Garden before, it's perfect for a date or a large family gathering.

    Tour of Italy

    I haven't been here in a long time. I forget about the never ending Salad and Breadsticks which are a bonus, they are so delicious. I got the Tour of Italy which consists of Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan and Fettuccini Alfredo, but I substituted the Fettuccini with Spaghetti instead. My Hubby got the Braised Beef and Tortellini the Beef was nice and tender, both were good. Our Server Daniel was hospitable and attentive.

    The front door

    I thought the service of the staff was terrific at the Olive Garden today when we visited at the one off Perry Hall Boulevard. While the first person we saw, wanted to seat us right next to the front door we asked to be seated somewhere else and she obliged right away. Our server, a young female with the name, Hannah, was a wonderful waitress for us. She brought us out everything we needed right away and was very polite. She had a wonderful attitude and was even jokingly talkative to me and my mother. She brought out the food in a very timely manner and as normal in Olive Garden style fashion asked if we wanted grated cheese on most of our food. The food by the way was excellent. The ambience was in normal Olive Garden style fashion, but there was a change in scenery because of a couple different families that had young children that got loud as expected, but another without their control had a mental disorder and was also loud. I am not mocking or making fun of the person with a mental disorder because they might have been in an accident or have been like that from birth and it's out of their control, people with mental disorders should not be made fun of because you don't know what they've been through in their life; they might have even been a first responder or even a marine that have been injured while on duty.

    I don't understand the bad reviews. My friend and I had a wonderful time at the Olive Garden. The only negative was waiting 20 minutes for a table. Our server was so sweet and attentive and answered all our questions. The food came out hot, fresh and delicious. We will definitely be coming back.

    Cheese ravioli
    Claudia C.

    Every now and then we are both in the mood for OG. The salad is the draw-never had a bad 1 there. For a mid afternoon lunch, we were seated immediately. And a wait of 15 min for our server began. At least 4 servers walked right past us, no one stopped by to get the drinks. I asked my husband if we were invisible. Well no team work here. Even if there is another assigned, how difficult is it to take a drink order and say: your server will be right with you. The other servers were in a cluster by the entrance of the kitchen and you could see all the cell phones in use. Our server was on break, he explained that to us, and profusely apologized. He was polite and a good face for the company. What happened to customer service? The restaurant has had the same layout for many years and has no reason to change, it just works. We asked for a glass of wine, nothing from MD ws offered, the selection comes fron corporate. My husband really likes their spaghetti either with meatballs or meatsauce. I usually get the baked ziti, but today was an exception, I ordered the lunch size cheese ravioli. The spaghetti with meatsauce was given the thumbs up by my husband. The ravioli were very bland, the sauce was the saving grace on that dish. At sometime in the future, we'll probably be back.

    Chicken & Shrimp Carbonara Watermelon Moscato Sangria. Delicious!

    Olive Garden has long been one of my mom's favorite spots, and I recently made on a promise to take her there. Thankfully, there's still a location open in White Marsh and to my surprise, the food was just as delicious as we remembered. I also ventured into their Sangria selection and tried two varieties. The green apple was definitely my favorite bright, crisp and refreshing.

    Chicken Alfredo, Chicken Tortolloni Alfredo
    Catherine L.

    Came on a Friday night and the wait time was around 20 minutes. We ordered the calamari and the lasagna fritta appetizers and the chicken Alfredo and chicken tortelloni Alfredo entrees (which came with breadsticks, salad, and soup). The lasagna fritta came out really hot and it was probably my favorite. The calamari tasted alright but was worth it for the price. Salad was fresh, breadsticks were a bit dry, and the zuppa toscana soup tasted very watery. We were pretty much full by the time our entrees came out so we mostly packed those to go. Our server was very nice and even gave us boxes of salad to go. The next day we reheated the alfredos and they were still good - the chicken wasn't dry at all. This was my boyfriend's first time eating at Olive Garden and he said the unlimited salad and breadsticks were a great deal but he probably wouldn't come back.

    Classic margarita
    Camille N.

    I had not eaten here in a while but was invited by my mother and sister for lunch. Our wait was not long and our server, was pleasant and very courteous. The area was clean and nice and bright. The food overall was tasty and filling.I did not enjoy my margarita (needed a better tequila). My mother was disappointed there were no pina coladas and settled for something else. I'm sure we will return.

    Sausage and Kale soup
    Jed W.

    I hadn't been to the Olive Garden for years but it really hasn't changed and I mean that in a good way. The nostalgia from the soup salad and bread sticks was definitely intense. It's not high end Italian food but for basic pasta and especially for the unlimited soup, salad and Bread sticks I'll come back. The sausage and Kale soup is my favorite. The shrimp scampi pasta was fine and the spaghetti and meatballs was exactly what you would expect.

We visited on a Tuesday, and since it wasn't very busy, the service was attentive and our food came out quickly. We took advantage of one of their daily specials. the Cumin Beef Stir-Fry was half off ($13). It ended up being my favorite dish. The beef was tender and perfectly seasoned. The Tibetan Diced Lamb also had great flavor with a nice balance of spices. The Sichuan Popcorn Chicken, however, wasn't what I expected. It wasn't the traditional Sichuan-style chicken I was hoping for and leaned more on the sweet side, which personally wasn't my favorite. The Flaming Roasted Lamb Leg had a delicious smoky flavor and came with a fun tableside presentation where it was set on fire. That said, the portion was on the smaller side for the price, and I was a little surprised to find what looked like French fries underneath the lamb. The restaurant has plenty of seating, and street parking was easy to find. They don't have a liquor license yet, so it's currently BYOB. There's a liquor store that's a three minute walk away from the restaurant. They also offer tea for $5 with free refills and soda for $2.50 with free refills. I also appreciated that they offer select dishes at half price on certain days of the week, so it's worth checking their specials before you visit. Overall, the food was flavorful, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the daily specials make this a great value. While not every dish was a hit for me, the cumin beef and Tibetan lamb were excellent.

I felt that the salmon was very fresh and I thought they gave very large chunks of salmon compared to other restaurants that really do skip out on the salmon portion, but this restaurant did not! The poke had cucumbers, mangoes, avocado, and scallions as well and I felt that the mango with a nice touch to add some sweetness, and it was also very fresh. The addition of the cucumber gave a nice crunchy texture that helped the dish overall. As for the sauce, I got the original non-spicy poker sauce. I didn't use too much of it because a little bit goes a long way. I recommend anyone to come and try out the poker here and I haven't tried their Ramen yet, but I do look forward to it soon.

The meat was not cooked how we asked for it to be, and one of the plates had to be sent back to be cooked more. After around 20 minutes, we were finally given forks to start eating. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad and despite my fish being a bit underdone, it was pretty good. I wish there was more dressing on the salad though because it was a bit bland and dry. It also seemed like our waiter was super stressed as he was genuinely running through the restaurant at times.
