Dustin, Dustin, Dustin... Vibes were immaculate. Service was impeccable. Needs were anticipated. After experiencing truly disappointing hospitality lately, Dustin completely restored my faith in great service. He greeted us promptly, brought our waters and breadsticks right away, and somehow had our food out in record time. He refilled our drinks without us asking, and I swear the second I thought I might want more lemon, he appeared and said he'd bring me more. Mind. Reader. I was craving the Chicken & Gnocchi Soup and salad, and they absolutely hit the spot, as always. What stood out most was Dustin's hospitality. It's obvious he's honed his craft. He was efficient, attentive, genuinely kind, and brought such positive energy to our table without ever making us feel rushed. After a long day, all we wanted was a quick, relaxing dinner, and thanks to Dustin, we were in and out in under 45 minutes while still feeling completely taken care of. If I could give him more than five stars, I would. 500 stars!!! Olive Garden, you are lucky to have him. read more

Surprisingly good! I haven't been to an Olive Garden in ages but after a recommendation, I came here. My partner and I shared a four cheese manicotti with marinara, the gnocci soup and the zuppa toscana soup along with the endless breadsticks. There were copious amounts of cheese with the option to add more for all the food and while the soups were thin, they're made fresh daily and taste exactly like their ingredients. The gnocci was soft and pliable and what I ended up focusing most on in the gnocci soup. the zuppa toscana tasted strongly of bacon ( i love bacon so that's a win for me) and had chunks of sliced potato in it. All the food leaned on the saltier side, with the manicotti tasting a bit sour due to the sauce but for the price and quantity, you truly cannot complain. Service is friendly and fast! The restaurant is well staffed and the ambiance is warm and inviting. My partner and I went on a Tuesday at 11 am to beat the lunch rush so we got seated quickly. As time went on though, the restaurant got filled up fast. Overall, this was a pretty pleasant experience! Do be cautious about the sodium intake and the breadsticks ( 140 kCal EACH.. but they're so tasty). Come visit this SPECIFIC Olive Garden with family to fill up on food and chat. Well staffed, quick service and surprisingly good food . read more

Great service by Yuliana. Friendly, efficient, helpful. Food portions were great! I was impressed. Example, other locations the soup and salad was small, but ours came loaded and tasty. Keep it up! thank you. read more

This location has been around awhile, faithfully serving the local community. And it's no surprise their popularity. Recently came here for a family birthday meal. Gosh, I wish I could remember the young waiter kid's name, but he was good. Olive Garden's salad and breadsticks are the best! Really sets them apart from many other chains. The entrees are also pretty fairly priced considering the totality of what's included. To top it off, they added a complimentary birthday treat (Chocolate Lasagna dessert) for the birthday person and sang Happy Birthday. It was a pleasant meal & evening. read more

I haven't been here in YEARS! My welcome back was memorable because of the exceptional service provided by Randy at the bar! He greeted us when we arrived, took our orders, checked if we needed drink refills and/or more bread, soup, and/ or salad, and made sure our order arrived exactly as requested! Thank you! My favorite dish that I thought at one point they took off the menu (probably the reason why I haven't been back) is the STEAK GORGONZOLA ALFREDO- which is grilled sirloin tips over fettuccine alfredo, tossed with gorgonzola bleu cheese and spinach and topped with sun-dried tomatoes and a balsamic drizzle. I asked that the steak be cooked medium rare and Randy explained that since the steak is in cubes it's hard to get it that way and it will more than likely be medium but he put in the request and to my surprise for the most part it was done! The steak was tender although some pieces were medium. All in all, this dish is a harmony of flavors! The all you can eat FAMOUS HOUSE SALAD with italian dressing, tomatoes, red onions, olives, and peperoncinis and BREADSTICKS still hits the mark! Will be back at the bar looking for Randy soon! read more

Came on a Saturday around 7:30pm and it was pretty busy! Make sure to put yourself on the online waitlist to skip the wait when you arrive! My expectations were not very high but I was pleasantly surprised. If you're ordering soup, get the Zuppa Toscana. It's the best soup! I also tried the chicken and gnocchi soup but it's not as good. We also ordered the calamari and I personally think you can skip that one. The squid itself is a bit soft, almost mushy, and the breading is not as crunchy as I'd like. I ordered the shrimp calamari as my entree, but by the time it came out, I was too full off the bread and soup. I only took one bite and packed the rest to go! I noticed a lot of families come here to celebrate birthdays which I thought was very cute. They have the waiters sing happy birthday to you and gift you a little cake as well. I'm not sure if I would choose to come here over other restaurants, but overall, a solid meal. read more

My family and I stopped by the Olive Garden in Vallejo recently, and overall it turned out to be a pretty great experience. Here's a quick breakdown of how everything went: Ambiance The Olive Garden in Vallejo has that warm, familiar family-dining feel -- cozy booths, soft lighting, and classic Italian-restaurant decor. It's spacious without feeling crowded, and it has a relaxed, comfortable vibe that works well for casual meals. Service During my visit, the service was really great even though it was busy. Our server stayed friendly, attentive, and kept everything moving smoothly. The soup, salad, and breadsticks came out quickly. Even with the crowd, we never felt overlooked. Food Quality I went for their unlimited-pasta promo, and it did not disappoint. I got to try different pasta and sauce combos, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The breadsticks were warm, the salad was crisp, and the soup options were solid. Price Point Pricing feels fair for what you get. Most entrées stay under $30, and the unlimited pasta deal makes it an even better value. Between the generous portions and the refillable items, you definitely get your money's worth. Overall: Great service, good food, and a relaxed atmosphere. The unlimited pasta deal was a fun bonus, and I'd happily come back--especially when the promo is running. read more

Greet by three young hostesses. We were able to sit at the bar and watch the football game! They still had the all you can eat menu! I got the mushrooms sauce and angel hair it was very creamy. The refill had too much oil in it. Chris was an excellent server very nice and on top of his job. read more

Despite my many years on Earth, I'll admit I've yet to step foot into an Olive Garden (my wife who grew up in the Midwest was shocked btw)...until now! With pregnancy comes random (and sometimes strange) cravings. And this time, it was Olive Garden; so off we went! Despite a seemingly packed house, the establishment was quite large and we were able to be seated right away. Our server was Cristian who was not only very friendly, but incredibly attentive and hard working. Despite having multiple tables, he was able to attend to everyone without missing a beat. Surprisingly, we even saw him bussing the tables because I guess this location doesn't have dedicated bussers? For the two of us, we ordered the following: Shrimp Alfredo: Creamy alfredo sauce, tossed with fettuccine and sautéed shrimp. Tour of Italy: Three classics - Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna Classico and our Fettuccine Alfredo. The Shrimp Alfredo was absolutely delicious. With a generous portion of well-sized shrimps in a delicious, creamy garlic and butter alfredo sauce. My wife also really enjoyed her Tour of Italy, as it gave her a bit of diversity with good-sized portion of three different entrees'. I had a bit of her chicken parmigiana, and was pleasantly pleased by how moist and juicy it was. For those of you that are Olive Garden newbies like me, you also get your choice of either soup or salad with your entree, both of which are unlimited. As well as unlimited refills of the breadsticks. We were quite full by the end of our meal and definitely satisfied. If you're looking for some hearty, wholesome food to fill your belly, Olive Garden is definitely a solid choice. read more

5 stars for Olive Garden? Here's why: Service was top notch (thank you Isaac). All the staff were friendly, relaxed and professional. This is a big deal for me.....even more than the food. Waiter was engaged and attentive without being intrusive. It seemed like they had a professional culture there. Dining room and restrooms were clean. Wife had the Tour of Italy and I had the Lasagna. We both had soup to start and were pleased with both the offering and the offer of fresh shaved Parm on top of the soup. Meals came with the same offer of the fresh shaved Parm. Food was as expected - good, not great.....but it certainly met our lunch expectations. Would happily come back. read more

Bravo. One of favorite restaurants in the North Bay Area! Stopped by today for a quick lunch with an ole Army colleague! Service and food choices were excellent! Ambiance was lively and friendly and all customers were treated as "family"! Our server, Karina B, was one of the best I have encountered in the Bay Area: professional, informative and customer service competent! Strongly recommend her for company recognition and bonus consideration!!! Because of her efforts, I shall return often and I will encourage other colleagues to frequent Olive Garden Vallejo as often as possible read more

Amazing and fast service! Our server Dustin was amazing! Checked in multiple times, positive attitude, and great communication Food was amazing, came during never ending. The lighting was amazing inside too! read more

I hadn't been to an Olive Garden in years before visiting this Vallejo location. It was nice inside, there's a spacious seating area to wait in if you have to wait for a table, and they were very accommodating for our large party. Our server was very nice, patient with our group and answered all questions. He kept us full of breadsticks and salad while we waited for entrees. The breadsticks and salad were good, I probably could have just stuck with those instead of ordering an entree, which I was so full after eating! The portions are quite large! I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana which I thought was great, along with a Strawberry Limoncello Margarita. Olive Garden can be a great go-to if you're looking for reasonably priced Italian food and I would most likely eat in this location again if in the area! read more

Very disappointing experience at Olive Garden today. We traveled a long distance to come eat here and the restaurant was not even busy. We were seated and waited about 25 minutes without being greeted, offered drinks, or acknowledged by any server. Meanwhile, another table that was seated after us had their order taken while we continued to be ignored. After waiting that long with no communication, we decided to leave. When we mentioned it to staff, the response was just "sorry," which felt very dismissive. I understand restaurants can get busy, but there was no excuse for completely ignoring customers for that long. Definitely not the experience we expected. Drove all the way in traffic so happy to have family time and excited to eat and left so upset and starving! read more

Upon walking in, I was pleasantly surprised by the minimal wait time - we were seated within five minutes. Our server, Eduardo, was friendly and attentive, allowing us to take our time ordering despite the bustle around us. As a longtime Olive Garden fan, I was delighted by the consistent quality of service and food. The house Moscato is always a favorite, and this evening's watermelon Moscato sangria was a refreshing twist. I appreciated the busboys' diligence in keeping our table clean throughout the meal. Eduardo's recommendation of the fettuccine Alfredo was spot on - it never fails to impress! I opted for the trio, which was equally delicious. One suggestion for improvement: considering offering a discount at the bar for customers waiting for their tables, as I've experienced at other Olive Garden locations in Fresno. Overall, this location exceeded expectations - clean, friendly, and serving up tasty Italian cuisine. I'm already looking forward to my next visit on Sunday at 5:30! Sorry for not getting a photo of the food. I was just too hungry. read more

We went there on a busy Saturday night, but we got a table really quickly!

Since it was Saturday night, it was busy but surprisingly not too loud in there. A fun night overall. We both Carbonara dishes, which turned out excellent! It's been years since we've eaten at our local Olive Garden, but we're glad we did. Thank you for making our dinner date, so much fun! Overall 20/10! read more

Food was great. Waiter was really nice. It was a little loud. Also the restaurant was looking very popular. Recommend

I ordered the Unlimited Soup, Salad, and breadsticks. I had the Zuppa Toscana, it was the best I have had at an Olive Garden restaurant. It was fresh, hot, tasty, and satisfying. The salad was good, they usually have a decent salad. The bread sticks were hot and fresh. The coffee fresh brewed and hit the spot. The only complaint was the service, the young man was a bit distracted and forgot a spoon to stir my coffee, and cheese on my soup. read more

Albert made the experience Devine and comfortable. The salad he prepared for my table was absolutely stunning and tasted amazing. The best salad I've yet to have from Olive Garden. He was patient and very personable. Served us with a smile the entire time. You could tell he took pride in his work which I loved. This was my best experience ever at Olive Garden thanks to him. He definitely should be a manager and deserves all the praises and raises !!!!!! Thank you again Albert for being an awesome server. Blessed to have met you and experienced you. read more

You know I am not a fan of Italian food. Well, I should say Americanized Italian food, because when I travel to Italy, the food was different. Anyway, Monday visit to the Olive Garden for lunch was wonderful. Josh, our server was delightful patient pleasant charming. It was great. My sister and I shared the shrimp Frito app, and we both had soup and salad entrées. I was really impressed by the freshness and flavor of both the soup and salad. We asked for the ask the be fried crispy and now I know that is the trick to crispy veggies and shrimp. read more

Went for the never ending pasta bowl and the waitress was nice and had a good attitude for the most part. She did however never offer refills for our soup and salad, as well as not offer to take any orders before telling us the kitchen was closed when we asked for refills on our pasta. If you're closing the kitchen 15-20 minutes before you close let your guests know so they can order beforehand. They served me a raw sausage as well and the manager came to check and said "I can tell already it's not fully cooked." Then said "we'll improve," walked away, and didn't offer to compensate us at all. No refills on our waters at all either and by that point it wasn't really busy. Maybe 3 other tables and lots of waiters/waitresses floating around who could've offered to fill it. read more

1 Star - Worst Curbside Experience Ever I will never order from this Olive Garden again. I placed a To-Go curbside order, paid online, got my receipt, and the full $14.74 was taken from my account. When I arrived to pick up my food, they claimed I only paid $0.09 on their end. I showed them my receipt and proof from my bank, yet they still refused to give me my order. I even called my bank while standing there, and they confirmed the $14.74 was taken out on their end too, no $0.09 transaction exists. Yet Olive Garden still wouldn't give me my food and said they could only refund me $0.09. Now I'm left hungry, out of $14.74, 30 minutes of my time wasted, and with the added headache of disputing the charge with my bank. Completely unacceptable and unprofessional. If this is how they treat paying customers, I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

I always enjoy my trip to this location. My mother and I came for lunch today and enjoyed the lunch special. She got the eggplant Parmesan which she loved and she is a tough critic haha. I got the shrimp scampi and also enjoyed my dish. A huge shout-out to our server Gwendy who made the experience excellent. I am a a server too and I always have some critiques rolling through my mind when I go out. I must say, her service was a 10/10 and when I go back I will asking for her. GREAT JOB GWENDY!! read more

A must go once a week. How can you beat NEVER ENDING, soup, salad, bread sticks pasta. What a deal. I can't cook at home for this.

The service was really good and our waiter was very nice, no complaints about that. Our food wasn't terrible either besides the pina colada and alfredo. The drink is very sweet and the Alfredo was watery and bland. Also, there is a weird smell inside that was not pleasant, cutlery was dirty and and the restaurant is also not very clean. Its just okay. read more

Olive Garden is an OG (the acronym works multiple ways) and I have been going and enjoying their food for decades. It had been a while since I had been to an OG and I enjoyed this visit. The decor/food/menu have mostly stayed the same, and it's still decent. My favorites are the mozzarella stick and parmigiana. The soups were meh. read more

So conflicted as I write this review, but I'm going to give an honest take. First, my history with Olive Garden goes way back to high school, it was the "nice" restaurant you took your date to, where servers wore crisp white button up's and black slacks. Lol. I took my kids here and we met up with friends, a bit of nostalgia as I don't see too many Olive Gardens around anymore. I will say this, the food is consistent. The salad is exactly how I remembered it in high school, the menu is just about the same, and the breadsticks... The food was what you would expect, I ordered the shrimp scampi as it was one of the lighter options on the menu and it was good. The server was amazing. So nice and good humored, and it really made the dining experience super positive. I didn't catch his name, but he was awesome. The one negative, which just irritates the eff out of me is that there is an option to put your name down on the "waitlist" on their website so you can be seated faster when you arrive. When I arrived and mentioned this to the hostess she looked at me like she had no clue what I was referring to, and said it didn't matter. Why offer the waitlist option online if it doesn't make a difference?! read more

TBH I don't really do chain restaurants, but my BF's family wanted to come since it was down the street. I was surprised to see it was actually pretty busy on a Wednesday evening, but service was still fairly fast. All pasta dishes come with never ending soup or salad, and breadsticks. They have 4 soup options: zuppa toscana, chicken and gnocchi, minestrone, and pasta e fagioli, but just stick with the zuppa and gnocchi ones. They actually have a really fresh salad but they ruin it by drowning it in dressing!! Next time, I'll definitely ask for dressing on the side so we can mix it all in ourselves, otherwise it's a fantastic side/app before your main meal. PS. They have never ending dipping sauces for your bread sticks now to add on for $6! Kinda pricey in my opinion, esp since you can only get 1 sauce at a time. They have 3 options - alfredo, cheesy marinara, or marinara. Not worth it because the alfredo was the only good one. Just get a saucy pasta and dip your bread there! We shared the toasted ravioli and shrimp fritto misto. They were good but heavy as both are fried and then served with marinara. The shrimp was succulent and juicy, and served with fried bell pepper strips which were a little over done but I'm not complaining! This one comes with a spicy ranch that was pretty dang good. The raviolis were meh. They had a spinach beef filling and each ravioli was large, but it wasn't anything special. I would absolutely reorder the fried shrimp. If you're a fried calamari person like me, then this one is right up your alley. I ordered the shrimp and chicken carbonara. It was the least carbonara tasting carbonara I've ever had, however it wasn't bad lol It just wasn't carbonara. It had a good amount of chicken, shrimp and bell peppers mixed in, and a ton of sauce! I like sauce, and it was creamy but it was a little thin. I would have preferred a thicker sauce to coat my pasta. The pasta was like a fatter spaghetti but not bucatini. Maybe for future I'd ask to sub for fettucine or a thicker pasta of some sort. The flavor has a strong bacon taste but there weren't any bacon bits :( I didn't eat much of it at the resto since I was so full from apps but when I brought it home, I added chili flakes and more parm and black pepper! Much better! My BF opted for the shrimp scampi and I think he made the better choice. His pasta was angel hair so it was nice and light in a buttery lemon garlic sauce. They added chopped asparagus and tomatoes which were so fresh, and the asparagus was nice and crisp! I will be replicating this in the future at home! All in all, it wasn't a bad dining experience. You go in with expectations that you'll get americanized pasta with XL portions, and you won't be disappointed. I think the staff knows how to handle big crowds as they probably see this a lot so if you're with a large family, this is a plus! Service was attentive and quick, especially with any requests we may have had. Back in the day they used to give Andes mints at the end of the meal but we didn't get any! IDK if this policy changed or if it was just our bad luck, but I hope they bring this tradition back because it was a little disappointing as the mint chocolate is one of the highlights at Olive Garden! read more
