We moved in Murrieta since 1998..from San Diego area. I don't remember if this restaurant had been there since. All I remembered is that theres no skipping of ordering online or eating in at this Restaurant for many years. The food had always been with same taste, it never changed and I like that. Otherwise, we would never go back again and again. Great services too. Restaurant is clean, as always. One of our favorite Restaurant in the area. Thank you Olive Garden and Staff. read more

Olive Garden is always clutch for amazing Italian food! For me, Olive Garden is top-notch when it comes to Italian food. Sure there's different Italian food places where they have their own flavors in their own spin on dishes, but Olive Garden just does the Alfredo better than all the others. I love the fettuccine Alfredo the tortellini Alfredo and anything Alfredo basically at the Olive Garden is fantastic lol they also have really good appetizers. I enjoy the salad and the breadsticks. My husband has tried to replicate the Olive Garden Alfredo recipe and he can't even get close. The Alfredo is just so thick creamy buttery and delicious. It's magical. I don't know how they do it! If you have an Italian food itch. This is a perfect place to go. The Olive Garden will forever be in my top 10 places for Italian food. This location is a really good location. It's clean and the service is good. The food quality is there and the portion size. They also don't hold back on the breadsticks. As soon as you run out, they're offering you another refill. Love that! read more

Olive Garden is pretty predictable in what they serve, but this location has great customer service! My friend's daughter was wanting to eat at Olive Garden so headed here after pedicures. From the host, to our server, to the manager, everyone was so welcoming. Our server got us started with our endless soup and salad. She checked in a few times to see if we wanted any others. I saw on the menu they have $6 takeout pastas which is a crazy good deal. I can't remember the last time I have been to an Olive Garden, but was a good experience. read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant, 29025 Overland Drive, Temecula, CA92591. We enjoyed the lunch special, all-you-can-eat salad & soup, fettuccine alfredo, and tiramisu. What made the dining experience really amazing was the impeccable service provided by Dorothy who was very attentive, friendly and she exudes genuine care. This 5* goes to Dorothy. Great job! read more

We had the best interaction on 8/15/2026. Our waitress MaKinzsy was the best server we have had at any restaurant we have been to in years. Her personality was amazing and not once did we have to ask for a thing. She was so friendly, prompt, interactive and genuinely an amazing worker. Olive Garden is so lucky to have such amazing talent at their restaurant! We will be back and hope we get her section again. read more

We had a good dinner overall. We ordered the Tour of Italy, Chicken Marsala, and Shrimp Scampi. Everything was tasty, the portions were generous, and the breadsticks and salad were just as good as always. The Tour of Italy was a great combination of favorites, the Chicken Marsala was flavorful, and the Shrimp Scampi was light and delicious. The service was okay, but it was difficult to get our server's attention when we needed drink refills. Aside from that, we enjoyed our meal and would come back. read more

Stopped in for lunch with a co-worker and we enjoyed their soup and salad all-you-can-eat option where we can indulge in the different soups they have to offer. Our server checked in with us often and always offered to top off our soups and salads with cheese and our drinks with soda order. The restaurant has a pretty large dining area to accommodate large groups and the seating areas were open and airy with a lot of room to move. read more

As a former line cook (appetizers) and host at Olive Garden, it will always have a soft spot in my heart. But ya still only get 3*! All you can eat breadsticks, soup and salad? Yes, please." And can I have some more? So they even still offer that All-U-Can eat deal??? read more

The food was great, service a bit slow on Sunday for dinner. The restaurant needs a deep cleaning! Sat near an extremely dusty window and a black spider was crawling across our table! Not a great experience for dining. read more

We have a love-hate relationship with this Olive Garden. It's a pretty restaurant, food is consistently good and fairly priced, service is always great .. but unfortunately we've had to turn around and leave the moment we open the door due to an overwhelming sewer/gas leak odor. This has happened more than once, and of course now we're reluctant to even go there. It's crazy how they remain open for business with those hazardous fumes present...and why they haven't remedied the problem with the city or whoever is responsible for it. read more

Came here to praise Gigi. She sets the standard for waiters and waitresses. She makes the dining in experience so much better. She's so sweet and welcoming. Thanks Gigi. The food is always good too. read more

The food is always good and consistent. My go to is usually shrimp and chicken carbonara, but today I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs... delicious! I love how your meal comes with bread sticks and soup or salad. Hubby ordered lasagna and it was cheesy and good too. The service is always meets our expectations at this location. I've never had a rude server. The restaurant is clean and they are efficient in getting everyone seated. read more

Service was great! Breadsticks seemed off and overdone. Always enjoy the carbonara with grilled chicken.

We went with Olive Garden Temecula for our group gathering volleyball banquet and got the Pasta Station option, and it did not disappoint! They let us know it served up to 10 people, but we had many more than that and everyone was well fed, with leftovers. The food was packaged so nicely, it stayed hot until we reached our destination. They provided all the utensils, plates, napkins etc . My order was scheduled for 4pm pickup and it was ready at 4:02pm, everything piping hot with steam coming out of the large carryout box that was easy to handle. It was all put together like a jigsaw puzzle inside this large box and everything was clearly labeled. Friendly and helpful takeout staff too. Will definitely use them again for the team read more

I love eating in at this Olive Garden but take out is lacking. Please for the love of God check the grapes (moldy) before sending them out and where is the Alfredo sauce?! These dishes are not cheap! read more

Wait time was unacceptable. Walked in at 1200, to find a 25 min wait. Weren't even letting anybody sit in the bar. Get seated to find not a soul in the restaurant except a party of 24. If you can't handle your customers coming in and a party of 24 you have staffing issues. Not cool. Grace our waitress was very nice. However, the wait time, was uncalled for. Food mediocre. read more

5 stars all around today for the staff and service. We went in to celebrate Mother's Day around 11:30am. Had a party of 6. We were greeted immediately upon walking in and were seated even while waiting for 4 members of our party to arrive. Everyone from our hostess to server were so kind and generous. Joshua(or Josh)was excellent! Couldn't have asked for a better server. He was very attentive. Even while waiting for the rest of our party, he continued to check on us. He made sure we had our bread sticks, water refilled, napkins, lemon wedges, etc. He made sure to address our mother too making her feel special today! Thank you guys for the awesome service. There were a few other employees that stopped by to either drop off our food or check on us. I wish I remembered your names too. Y'all are exceptional. Keep doing great things! Food: Salad was cold with crispy lettuce as it should be. Breadsticks were on point. Side of meatballs were great! Shrimp Fritto Misto fried to perfection. I loved the spicy ranch it came with. Some of the best I've had. All in all a great experience. read more

We came in today for lunch, both the wife and I had the soup and salad which is absolutely delicious. My only minimal complaint would be we had to wait 25 minutes and there was nobody seated and we got here at 12:30 so quite interesting there. Now to our service, Grace was our server and she was out of this world outstanding. Always had the soup ready to go. Always had the salad. Really you'd be filled in the waters non-stop service. Great job Grace. Thank you very much! read more

We love this Olive Garden location. Rhea is fantastic, Kaitlin is amazing and Erik is a great manager. From the moment you open the door, the hostess is kind and welcoming. The wait staff is all very attentive. Even if they aren't waiting on your table, I feel like everyone steps in to help. The food is good and fresh and exactly what we want from the olive garden. Fun fact, they will bring out breadsticks for free, kind of like chips and salsa. This is a really well-run location and I highly recommend it. If you haven't been in a while, give it another try. read more

Visited Olive Garden Temecula for family celebration. Experiment was horrible, if there were 0 stars I would give 0 star. I love olive garden and it's one of my favorites to go to with family but this place was just nasty with very nasty employees. Service was shitty and defensive attitudes. As soon I said I was going to share my "unlimited soup and salad" with my 10 year old the server said that it would it be unlimited since I was sharing which was fine I understand people take advantage. But my other kids got entrees which comes with soup or salad but she never brought the soup or salad, never came back to pick plates just the attitude was horrible. I understand the policy and all but there's no need of just shutting down your service nor give a nasty dry attitude. I wasn't stealing or didn't pay for my food I just wanted to have a good time. I will never come back to this place and Olive Garden should specify this and not give false advertisement or train your employees that a good attitude and positive attitude goes a long way. Not everyone is there to take advantage some of us are good tippers but the attitude changes everything. Never coming back for sure!! read more

The waitress Hailey made the experience pleasant. I highly recommend this location. my first time at this location.

My wife, daughter and I had an amazing experience at your restaurant. Our server Corey, was on top of everything. He made sure we had everything even before we asked. The food was beyond delicious. Everything we ordered was so delicious. Cory has a special gift for incredible customer service. The ambiance in Olive Garden is so warm and inviting. read more

It has been awhile since we have been to Olive Garden but we knew we wanted to make it out for their Never Ending Pasta bowls! Put ourselves on the waiting list with the app which was quite convenient to do as we were on our way there. Checked in quickly and knew it would be a few mins more as we had a larger party than the other guests that were coming in. For a Thursday evening, it was quite busy but those at the front moved everyone in quickly to their tables. Most of us ordered their Never Ending Pasta bowls that were reasonably priced starting at $14.99 and another $4.99 if you wanted to add the protein. This also came with either the soup or salad and their breadsticks. The waitress who assisted us was friendly and quick on her feet with anything that we needed. We never had to wait long for refills on drinks either. Most of our party had alfredo but I ordered the bowl with angel hair pasta, creamy mushroom sauce and the protein was the chicken. I don't remember kind it was but it was a breaded cutlet with such great flavor and went well with the mushroom sauce pasta. The sauce was creamy and filled with mushrooms, which I love! I liked this dish so much that on my next round of pasta, I ordered the same thing. Our orders came quickly with such speedy staff, the dining room was clean from the time we got there to the time we left. I don't know why it had been so long since our last visit but hope to get back there again sometime soon. I just wish I remembered out server's name. She was fantastic! read more

For starters, no pun intended as I skipped on the appetizers, I was seated at a table serviced by an amazing waitress named Melody. Her "tune" or "luncheon vibe" is totally into being the "Genie of Exceptional Service". She is totally knowledgeable about the menu, offers great suggestions, and even went to the manager to see if a change in the recipe was permissible (it was not). But, the "Exceptional Genie of OG" was not deterred. She made several suggestions and because I wanted seafood and another protein, I ordered the Shrimp and Chicken Carbonara- which was deliciously orchestrated with everything in sync gastronomically speaking!!! Kudos to the chefs- BUT...I would be remiss if I didn't address the meal starter of the Zappa Toscana...Sooo INCREDIBLE!!! I've have this soup numerous times before and it has been "ok"...BUT, today that soup was off the chart...so flavorful, without a heavy-hand of of red flaked peppers, but rather a lingering hint of just enough without overpowering the other ingredients in the soup. In fact, they were in harmony and it was nothing short of a soup experience I didn't expect to happen!!! In fact, I ordered a second bowl!!! (It doesn't cost extra!) In addition, I enjoy a "mountain of Parmesan grated cheese" over both my soup and my main entree- no problem for Melody, The Genie of OG!!! She came prepared with a new chunk of cheese to grate into my soup and meal- see why she has the title I've given her? And, she also appeared at the right time. Whether to pour water, ask if I wanted more cheese, or when I finished my meal, to help use the electronic device to pay for my meal. Of course, after experiencing this fabulous meal and service, I asked to speak with the Manager and I shared with him my dining experience. So now to cut to the chase, the 5 Star review I gave Olive Garden is because they deserve it. One more thing to add, I did have a late lunch 3-ish o'clock- does that make a difference? I don't know, but what I do know, is that I had an excellent meal and I intend to go back!!! read more

I eat at work every day. Every time my family comes in they say they love food. They said that the greeter didn't even know that they were my kids, but they treated them like royalty the minute they walked in the door. I love how clean our restaurant is. It's nice working and going to place every day that makes you feel like family. My daughter loves the gluten free, dairy free gluten free options. My son loves the steak! The salad here is perfect with a light dressing option, ranch, or Italian! read more

Service was bad and the food wasn't much better, but that was expected because it's a chain restaurant. My mother-in-law (who we were celebrating) got her food way after the rest of the table. And when it finally came it was cold. Also, it was like pulling teeth to try to get to-go-containers. One tiny box to pack up three people's food. We just made our way to the to-go section to ask for containers since our server was nowhere to be found. read more
