Olive Garden Italian Restaurant is a casual Italian chain located in the Warwick and Attleboro area that focuses on familiar comfort-style dishes in a family-friendly setting. We walked into a clean dining room with booth seating and a steady flow of families and groups coming in throughout the day, the kind of space that feels straightforward and consistent with what you would expect from a large chain restaurant. It is not designed to feel elevated or experimental, but more like a reliable sit-down option for classic Italian-American food. The biggest part of the experience here is the standard menu items that most people already know. Dishes like chicken parm, fettuccine Alfredo, shrimp scampi, and pasta combinations are the core of the menu, along with their well-known breadsticks and salad service. Portions are generous, and the food is generally consistent, which makes it feel more about quantity and familiarity than innovation or standout culinary detail. The breadsticks and salad were the most memorable part of the meal for us, especially since they came out fresh and warm, and the pasta dishes tended to be heavy and straightforward, with creamy sauces and simple seasoning profiles. It worked best for what we were in the mood for, comfort food rather than anything highly refined or unique. Service varied depending on how busy the location was, but the general setup felt efficient and structured for high volume dining. It was the kind of place where we could get seated, order, and eat without much complication, and the pacing stayed predictable. During peak times, things slowed down a bit, but overall the experience remained fairly easy and low friction. The staff kept the breadsticks and salad coming without having to ask, and the dining room stayed comfortable even when it filled up. Olive Garden is solid for what it is. It is not the best Italian food in terms of flavor complexity or execution, but it works well when we are looking for something familiar, filling, and consistent. It delivers a dependable meal that feels both satisfying and easy to come back to when we want a casual sit-down dinner without overthinking the choice. read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

This location is not on the app anymore. They don't take call ahead. We went at 6pm on a Wednesday and it was "at least 30 min, we'll text you"... they wouldn't take my number. Last time that we did manage to get thru the front door, they apologized for not servicing us for over an hour, "they sat you in the wrong section. I didn't know you were mine". Can't get a refill of "endless soup" before pushing my entree out. Definitely declined in quantity. read more

We were driving hours back from vacation and it was late and I hadn't been in Olive Garden in a few years so we decided to try it again. The waitress was new but she was actually very good! The food was not great. The pasta fasoli was salty and very spicy and the breadsticks were stale obviously not fresh. The ravioli was microwaved or something not great. Then you have to pay on the stupid kiosk like Applebees and try to figure that out! The place was pretty empty but it was the 4 th of July. So sorry we won't be back there are plenty of very good Italian restaurants in Rhode Island with good food and not just microwaved ravioli even mama Rosie's is better at home! read more

Decided to stop in for an early dinner. Went in around 4pm and we were seated right away. Service was a little slow but we finally ordered. Breadsticks and salad came out. Salad was good but breadsticks were a little salty. Our entrees came and we had to remind the server about our drinks. We were pretty thirsty as the temps outside were in the 90's. Drinks finally came. We both ordered the chicken and shrimp carbonara and thought the sauce was a little too b thick. It tasted good though. So where we went today on the tabletop kiosk In looked at the receipt and saw there were 4 drinks on there. So we had to wait to get it fixed and changed before we could pay and leave. Not the best dining experience we're have had, thus the 3 stars. read more

There used to be many Olive Gardens in the area, this one in Warwick is one of the few in the Providence metro area. I went to get their weekday Lunch Special: Soup and Salad and Breadsticks (Mon-Fri 11-2:30PM) for $9.99. The salad was fresh and crisp, the minestrone soup was a bit salty for my taste, but the breadsticks were warm and delicious. There are some all you can eat buffets in the area for a bit more where you get protein, meats and rice, but once in a while it is just good to get some Soup and Salad...... The restaurant was clean and the staff was prompt with the food. read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

One of the absolute best experiences we have had out at an establishment. We were greeted promptly and politely by Alicia. Smiles and all. She waited on me and my sister and we felt so welcomed. Everything was on time and fast. Salad and soup was a great start to dinner. The shrimp scampi my sister received was delicious and hot. My salmon and broccoli with pasta and sausage was amazing. The manager Angie was a rockstar. She went over and checked on us serval times. Sparking convo and was a joy to talk to. The restaurant was very clean also. Recommend this place and will be back soon. read more

It's olive garden, it is what it is. Decent experience and good for a chain restaurant. You can't go in expecting the world, but you generally will leave satisfied. Friendly car hop and fast service. Food was decent, albeit unspectacular, donuts were supringsly good. Overall, worth another trip sometime. read more

Whenever you place it to go order, make sure you double triple check it, especially if you ordered any extra add-ons to your original items. The audacity to forget my extra add-ons and then try to charge me when I'm already back at the location is Wild. read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - I ordered a tortellini Alfredo with medium rare steak. They acknowledge it and did not put steak on my food - Italian Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

We arrived right at 5 PM and were seated immediately. The atmosphere was calm, untouched by the evening dinner rush. Our server was incredibly friendly and provided us with excellent recommendations. I even decided to change my meal at the last minute, and she made it happen effortlessly. We started with the salad and breadsticks because you can't visit Olive Garden without them! I ordered the never-ending pasta bowl but found myself unable to finish even one bowl! It was delightful, though I almost wished for a smaller portion so I could sample more of the various pasta combinations. Since we were a bit pressed for time, we skipped dessert, but it certainly looked tempting! read more

Terrible Experience at 7:30 to 8:00 nobody came to the table I got placed this Olive Garden has some issues. Left with no food the main reason I came for it was a birthday present again bad service! read more

Nice place if you're looking for a decent food and a nice atmosphere this is a good place. However if you love Italian like me you have a lot of better options in Rhode Island.i would say this is a solid restaurant though. Clean nice staff and good food. You won't be disappointed. Unless you want an authentic Italian restaurant this is a chain so it's not a surprise. read more

Terrible service and just as bad management. We ordered drinks and meals as soon as our waitress came to our table. Took 15 minutes just to get waters. Our kids meals arrived before our drinks did! We had one meal arrive and the other was given to a different table. Then we proceeded to wait 20 minutes for our final meal to arrive. When asked for a hot chicken parm since it had been sitting and waiting to be eaten until everyone in our party had food we were told they would comp the chicken parm on the bill. Once we received the bill we were charged multiple times for the same meal and "comped" for one of them when in reality we were still paying for everything. The manager did not apologize and backed up the waitress for all of the mistakes. Overall a disaster. We ended up taking our meals to go since our two kids had been done eating for 20+ minutes by the time our two meals even arrived!!! Oh and by the way our waitress also gave us soup that was meant for a different table that she had brought out to them and stated "here do you want this since you ordered it? If I bring it in the back it is just going to be thrown away". TERRIBLE! If you find yourself in Lexus' section you should leave! read more

The bread sticks were a 10/10. Salad was 10/10 and the soup 12/10. The The service was amazing. Rebecca was the best and super duper friendly. Ambiance is nice, my friend thought it was panera bread but they look similar i guess. THEY GIVE CHOCOLATE FREE AFTER THE MEAL. read more

Had a wonderful dinner with me and my best friend. Calm and very nice ambiance. Food was delicious and came quickly. The drinks we had were very good. We had the green apple moscato and the sunset. I definitely recommend! Only downside would be our waiter was basically non existent so we had to ask for help from other servers a few times. And when we were ready to check out we waited for 20-25 minutes after dessert before we finally went and found a manager to check out. And we didn't receive a comp or anything form our poor service. Which really isn't problem just would have been nice. And the drinks didn't come to the table until after the food was served. And I asked the waiter when the desert came out we would like the birthday song to be sung (it was my friend's birthday) and we had to ask another waiter for the dessert menu and when it came out the song wasn't sung I had to ask for it and had to wait additional time so by the time we ate dessert it was cold. Very poor service. read more

Seven of us enjoyed a feast: fried lasagna appetizers, bread sticks, salad, minestrone and Tuscan soup, eggplant parmigiana, shrimp scampi, lasagna. Then we shared numerous desserts: cheesecake, black tie truffle pie, donuts. Everything was delicious and the waiters and manager were very attentive. We had our own lovely private room! read more

Was great especially kids menu with fettuccini and Alfredo sauce with grilled chicken

Took a friend for a birthday lunch. We were looking forward to soup, salad and breadsticks. I discretely told one of the wait staff that it was her birthday and asked if there was anything special that could be done. He gave me a choice of complimentary dessert and I confirmed. Service was very slow. Although being the only table occupied in our particular area, it took quite some time for our food to arrive. The soup and salad came out first. No breadsticks. We were finished with our first bowl of soup and salad by the time 3 lukewarm breadsticks in a small basket arrived. We each had a 2nd bowl of soup. My coworker's drink refill arrived 15min later after we had paid the bill. No birthday dessert, no waitstaff acknowledging the special day. To be fair, our waitperson did apologize for the slow service, advising he was handling both sides of the restaurant. If this was the case, maybe the manager could have stepped up and helped out the waitstaff. I generally have had great service at other Olive Garden locations (specifically in MA) but this location was an extreme disappointment. I won't be back. read more

Lunch special was so small, served in a dessert bowl. Only 5 small shrimp, the asparagus was like grass blades. Service was just ok. Place nothing special. Will not go again. read more

A place Me and my family frequent at least twice a month. Never again...food was good, but...our server was great, until I paid the bill. It was a mix of cash and gift card. I gave her a cash $20.00 tip on a bill of $100.00. I used my credit card for a balance of $ 15.00 dollars, ran out of cash. When I checked my on line banking the next day, she added an addy$21.72 for gratuity. That girl made out $ 40.72 On a bill for 100.00. I will tell everyone who I know not to go there. Warwick RI RT 2 has dozens of restaurants to have dinner or lunch. This is unacceptable don't eat at this Warwick establishment. read more

Decent but twice I've asked them not to overcook the gluten free pasta, and of course it's slightly overcooked.

food is fair at best. long wait for service. sat one and a half hours before food is delivered. many other restaurants to choose from.

Do not fucking go to Olive garden in Warwick RI. My 9 year old daughter got grapes with kids meal... The fucking grapes were soaked in wine. Dead serious strong smell of wine, and fucking sticky like dried wine. Fuck this place. read more

I am not a fan of chain restaurants, but we had a gift card so my wife and I decided to use it up. She like pasta and is not fussy about the sauce. I on the other hand, had enough "gravy" growing up so needless to say, ordering is a problem for . I did order fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken and did enjoy it. Salad and dressing were great. Waiter was good and checked on us a couple of times; and then the on shift manager came by to check on our service and food. We were very happy with that follow up on guests. I would go again! read more

very small portions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!very disapointed! i've been going to the Warwick location for years. always loved it! not no more! sorry

Disappointed with the overall service. The food was good and breadsticks were nice and hot. BUT....Our server kept disappearing. A different server brought out our appetizer --we had no plates for them and never got any, then someone else served the meals. We had to wait for grated cheese for some reason as that server came without it. Our original server forgot our dipping sauce for the bread sticks so we had to flag her down which took forever. We wanted a refill on drinks and breadsticks and had to ask someone else who then sent over our server. We wanted 2 more waters and one coke. She brought 3 waters. We never were offered more fresh dipping sauces for the breadsticks. We finally gave up. Check came without mints we paid on the table kiosk (which printed a blank receipt) and left. We usually love Olive Garden but this time it was a very frustrating experience. read more

I had not been here in a long long time. I have never been a fan and we were in the area doing errands and thought we would try it again. I was very surprised that the menu, which had been about three pages long, was one piece of paper. I like that it was easy to order from and took less time. Mike got soup and I got chicken scampi over danger and pasta. Mine was low in calories for a pasta dish and it was delicious. I really enjoyed it. And of course the salad in the breadsticks were good as always. Mike also got a pasta and he enjoyed it as well. The service was good and we figured out how to use the credit card to pay on the terminal right at the table. And after having experiences I would probably go back again. read more

I work in the emergency department and I have to give props to good ole' Olive Garden. They delivered over 280 meals to our whole hospital. It has been mannnny years since I have eaten there, but I enjoyed the pasta fagioli and salad. Everything was well thought out and packed separately with each entree. They sent hot food as well as cold!! Thank you so much, and I definitely will stop by once you are open to thank you in person! Ooooooo did I forget to mention the breadsticks.... read more

I wasn't going to write this review. I have been contemplating it for a week. However, I wish someone would have told me what I'm about to say. When we arrived we were greeted by a very nice hostess and a woman laying down at the entrance. The woman laying down would later turn out to be our server. Another girl brought us to a dirty table (literally dirty plates and all) and told us to sit down. When I mentioned that the table was dirty, she rolled her eyes and pointed to another table for us to sit there. Our server came over and took our order. We ordered one of the more expensive bottles of wine. I got the soup and salad, my husband got the chicken parm. The bottle of wine she brought over to the table was already open. When we questioned why it was open, she assured us she had just opened it and the bottle was full. It wasn't, but okay. Our food came relatively quickly, and my soup and salad were delicious. I got the chicken gnocchi soup, and there was only one gnocchi in the bowl. It was a let down, but not worth complaining over. My husband's meal was inedible to me. The sauce had the worst flavor and the pasta was very over cooked. He ended up not touching the pasta, scraping the sauce off and just eating the chicken plain. At this point, we didn't complain, we just paid our bill and left. My husband was clearly still hungry, so we walked over to Smokey Bones and split some delicious wings. I just figured we'd never mention Olive Garden again. Here is the worst part. I paid for dinner, using a credit card that normally doesn't get used. I had not used the credit card in weeks, and I didn't use it at Smokey Bones. It's an Apple Card, so I get a notification every time it gets used. A couple hours later someone is using my card number and making a lot of purchases. By midnight my card was maxed out. I was able to have my card locked and get a new one sent. However, whoever stole my information is still trying to use my card. It's obviously getting declined now, but still? The next day I call Olive Garden to let them know what happened. I spoke to a manager who told me it was impossible and I must be mistaken. I'm not. (This isn't even the first time it's happened at Olive Garden, google it.) Then, I told her about the entire experience that I have just written out. She responded with, "Is that all?" in a very condescending tone. I was told I'd get a call back and never did. If you want to protect you credit card information and have a decent meal, don't go here. Do better Olive Garden. read more

The service was great our server was attentive. Mediterranean look and feel, nice . Food is ok. Salad seem like it was drowning in dressing, but food is decent. read more

Soup just warm. Bread sticks. Not cooked, doughy, and the smell when you walk in is gross. They need to clean. Smells like dirty water.

I ordered a chicken parmesan with spaghetti, it taste like a lot of salt was poured on my chicken, the pasta was a bit dry not enough pasta sauce, the bread sticks were hard, the only thing that was delish is the soup, this was a to go order I was very disappointed, the food has gone down hill I wished I could get a refund read more

I may have just experienced one of the worst meals of my life. Let me start by saying, the only reason I even entered this so-called restaurant is because I had a gift card. Simply put frozen shrimp scampi appetizer, chicken parm, and Rosemary chicken. Shrimp: Frozen, 3 out of 10, I've better at home out of the freezer. Parm: 4 out of 10, just nothing to write home about, frozen for sure. Now for the meal topper, the Rosemary Chicken. 0 out of 10, HOW THE HELL DO YOU SCREW UP GRILLED CHICKEN????? One of the worst dishes I have ever attempted to consume. Weird texture and could barely cut through it. Nasty There's a reason being from RI that I don't goto chains like this (Italian). Terrible!!!! Thanks read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Crap - Italian Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Just went to Olive Garden . Always go To the north Attleboro one but since COVID only staying in RI. We put in our drink and app order in at the same time with our waitress. Waitress didn't know the price of beer . She comes back with our drinks and asks if we like to place our order for our meal . We then receive our food and not our app. When she finally comes back . My husband asks her and she says "oh I don't know if I put it in " and goes away. We finish our meal and she comes out with the app and charges us . I then pay with a gift card and she says "oh you can leave a tip with the rest of you want ". I of course still leave a tip but wtf ! Worst service I've ever experienced .

I've been going to Olive Garden in Warwick, RI for years and boy has it gone down hill. Here's my story: I phone in an order to be picked up. All went well until the person I was speaking with asked me: "Would you like to add a tip?" I said "NO" and she immediately hung up. She must have felt it was ok to do so what does that say about the management. I called back and asked for a manager and Sarah answered. She said that it was awful and she would correct the problem. Also that I should ask for her when I arrive. I arrived around 7:30 pm and called, explaining that Sarah said I should ask for her as she wanted to personally bring out the order. About 50 minutes go by and no food. I call, speak to Sarah and she said she had been waiting by the front door with my order for over 20-30 minutes. She then brings me out the order. I get home and the food is room temp and dried out. I write a letter to corporate and receive this email: Dear Jim, Thank you for your email. We are concerned about your experience regarding our Warwick restaurant and appreciate your letting us know about it. To respond more personally, our Director of Operations will be in contact with you by October 15, 2020. Sincerely, Thomas Olive Garden Guest Relations Notice the contact by date: October 15, 2020. Here we are, it's the 19th of October, 2020 and no one ever contacted me. It appears the management problems go a lot further than the local restaurant. read more

This is the place the kids I was babysitting wanted to go - and what my niece and nephew want is what they get, so off to Olive Garden we go! Got there on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm and it was BUSY! We had about a 15 mins wait. Once we got seated, our waitress was extremely friendly and personable - two thumbs up! I had salad and the kids had soup for apps. Salad isn't a caprese salad but I guess if it's complimentary, I can't really complain, huh? The kids seem to enjoy their soups, so I can't complain about that. The breadsticks were buttery and good so I snuck one in =). I ordered the Citrus Chicken Sorrento, the kids had Shrimp Fettucine Alfredo and Chicken Parm. They enjoyed their meals - so again can't complain but my meal, hmm....I prob wouldn't order it again. The veggies were cooked a bit too soft and were not crisp anymore. The chicken was cooked well but I didn't care for the citrusy honey glaze - it seemed way too overwhelming for my taste. All in all, it's a typical chain restaurant - not something I'd run to but I wouldn't shy away from completely either. read more

Great food & good service! We have food allergies and I love that nothing on the menu contains nuts. I could literally live on their breadsticks and salad!! read more

Used to love coming to Olive Garden now I don't think I'll be coming back. We got sick a few months back and ended up getting a $40 gift card comped so we decided to go back for dinner a few months later. We once again got sick off the food. 3 hours after being home our stomachs were in knots and were no better this morning. Our server was nice but was careless. Took us over an hour to get our entrees and dirty plates from appetizers and salad stayed on the table until halfway through us eating our entrees. Highly disappointed that this store continuously has us feeling sour after visiting. We wont be coming back. read more

Went for dinner last night after a few months of not going from getting sick last time. Was comped a $40 gift card and figured we'd try it again. Started feeling sick again last night about 3-4 hours after we got home. Woke up this morning sick as a dog. The service was mediocre at best. Dirty plates stayed on the table almost the entire time. Waited over an hour for our 2 dishes. Needless to say I'm all set with Olive Garden as a whole. If imma waste money on food that's gonna make me sick might as well save some money and get fast food. The fast food would have less grease than whatever they serve you. Wish I could rate this negative stars read more
