Editorial Review for Olive Garden – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Established in 1982, this chain gained a following for its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions. Patrons settle into comfortable booths and tables in dining rooms with plants, artwork and décor reminiscient of the villas in the Tuscan countryside. Starters include scampi, sausage or pepperoni pizza, and several soup choices, as well as a signature seafood dip (crab, shrimp, cheese and marinara). Entrees include classics like lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana. There are also "Garden Fare" options, which promise 30 percent fewer calories.

I went there with my husband for New Years. The server was probably new, and we had to keep reminding him to bring our drinks and bread. In the end, it sounded like he wanted us to leave ASAP so he could take the check. Horrible experience!!!!!!

The olive garden is fine...but that's it. You pay almost as much as you would at a truly nice, non-chain restaurant and get food that is Americanized and unadventurous. It is sad that so many people miss out on numerous italian restaurants in SLC that have a great atmosphere, superior food and interesting dishes because they feel safe at the equivalent of an italian McDonalds. Pay $2-3 more per entree and you can go to Al Forno's or Michaelangelo's. These later two restaurants are truly excellent.
