    First time to this location Kapolei Olive Garden. Located @ Ka Makana Alii shopping mall . The Ala Moana location is much busier but the Kapolei Olive Garden is more laid back and more relaxed atmosphere. The service is on point and of course the food you can't go wrong with unlimited salad and bread sticks Yum. I ordered their Cheese Ravioli with cream sauce it was very filling and the Ravioli was home made you can taste the ricotta cheese . We had no room for dessert I had 3 bread sticks I think that would to the trick .

    Always great service, atmosphere & delicious Italian food at Olive Garden! Great Lunch service menu weekdays from 11 am - 3 pm. Perfect size portions with soup, salad & all you can eat breadsticks. The peach tea also a must! It's usually very busy for dinner & weekends.. Nice to enjoy a delicious meal during the weekdays.

    Seasonal Creamy Garlic Fettuccine with Grilled Chicken added.

    Olive Garden was alright. They were pretty busy, which is good, but we didn't have to wait to be seated or anything. Service was alright considering. The salad that day was kind of old, I had to pick out a lot of brown pieces, and it was soaked in dressing which almost made it inedible to me. You can't go wrong with the breads ticks, which are basic. My daughter loved her Fettuccine Alfredo which she added the Crispy Chicken instead of grilled, and she also added Broccoli. I ordered a new seasonal item, the Creamy Garlic Fettuccine. And it was good. The Tomatoes were sweet, and the Spinach was a nice addition to the pasta. The cream sauce was okay. Overall, it was a decent lunch. I had higher hopes but it may have just been a bad day. The place was clean and bright, so the ambiance was good.

    Anjelo, has been consistently great. I call to see if and when he is working and he is the reason why I come to Olive Garden Kapolei. He makes us feel like family, welcomed, and appreciated. Jeff

    Beef Alfredo was great. Seafood Alfredo was terrible. Customer service was decent and the place was clean.

    Carb cravings... Since I was in the area I decided to give them a visit as it's been quite some time that I've been to Olive Garden and this Kamakana Alii location is nice as it's not totally part of the mall and with lots of free parking just steps away it was a nice and convenient to give them a visit. Walking in I was surprised to see how filled they were and though that there would be a long wait but to my surprise they also have outdoor seating which is actually better as it's not as noisy inside and it was rather more cooler and nice but I was seated right at the service door as it creaked with every swing it got quite annoying. Ordering food I decided with the create your own which was Rigatoni with Five Cheese Marinara and added broccoli which also comes with never ending soup or what I chose is salad along with breadsticks the salad was absolutely delicious as I do love the toppings but the breadsticks were meh no olive oil or balsamic vinegar it didn't do much for me and here's my pasta looking like it was made in a cafeteria blanched pasta topped with a scoop of sauce an topped with blanched broccoli...what a sad presentation it tasted okay nothing it wasn't even hot or spectacular and my server came to check on me once as she was busy but she was very nice and polite but just the very basic just like their food. I remember why I don't come here as often though I do love the decor and vibe the food needs much improvement...just come for the salad and chill out at the lanai. Thanks!

    Our server, Charles, was so nice and took really good care of us. Our food was great as usual. I definitely recommend going here and requesting Charles to be your server.

    Fettuccine Alfredo with broccoli
    Kim R.

    The food taste was amazing got the Alfredo with broccoli as well as the appetizers, got the calamari and the spinich dip. The short of 5 star review was because for some odd reason they ran out of lemons. But other than that I have no complaints

    Added our name to the waitlist & instantly received a text giving us an estimated wait time of 30 minutes. To our surprise it was quicker than that! Seating is a bit tight & tables are somewhat close to each other in the indoor dining room. A handful of booths but majority are freestanding tables. Plenty of choices on the menu, decent adult drink choices also. Service here was great as well! Quick, efficient, friendly. And this place is friendly on your pocketbook!

    Rigatoni with spicy three meat sauce
    Hitomi O.

    We went to Olive Garden for the Never Ending Pasta Bowl after seeing it advertised on Hawaii News Now for $13.99 per person, which sounded like an amazing deal, especially in Hawaii. When we got there, it turned out to be $19.99 instead, but we decided to try it anyway since we had already driven out for it. I ordered the salad and rigatoni with the spicy three meat sauce. The salad was just as good as I remembered from when I first tried Olive Garden back in college: crisp, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The pasta, however, was a little strange. The sauce made my mouth feel tingly or slightly numb, almost like an "acidic" sensation, but not spicy. The service was absolutely amazing. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and really made the experience pleasant. The ambiance was cozy, smaller than most Olive Gardens I've been to, but still nice. Unfortunately, the pasta didn't sit well afterward. Both my partner and I had some stomach issues for the next day or two . Not sure if it was just an off day for the kitchen, but I'd probably try a different sauce next time if I ever go back again.

    It's been a really long time since I've been to an Olive Garen. My son wanted to try so we stopped by here for lunch one day when we were in the area. I was pleasantly surprised at how good ever was! Not that it was ever disappointing, but for a chain sometimes you don't expect a whole lot. But the service was really impressive, the staff was really attentive and friendly. The food was also delicious and I forgot how big the portions were. My son really enjoyed the breadsticks and he ordered a kids meal, which was huge, but ended up eating mostly the fettuccini alfredo. I'm sure we'll be back.

My husband and I started with a beer and a cocktail with the crab artichoke dip. The appetizer was delicious and hot. We ran out of bread and were able to get another serving of house bread easily and quickly. Beers tried were: Howzit's Hawaiian Time, and Hana Koa's Rice Breaker x2. He enjoyed both. Cocktails tried were: Thai Gimlet, Doctor's Orders, and a tequila cocktail that a regular suggested a float of mezcal with. All were delicious, unique, and approachable. I've managed a few bars, and I can say with full confidence that their cocktails are fairly and affordably priced, delicious and well built. For our entrees, we enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan (husband) and Seafood pan roast. My husband left nothing on his plate, and I asked for a takeout container for the remnants of my sauce- it was THAT GOOD. Our experience, dishes, and beverages from Kalapawai Kapolei has always left us happy and full, the staff is why we keep coming back.
