   Olive Garden is a decent place. The price-quality ratio of your experience at Olive Garden is very acceptable: the prices won't be too high, so don't let your expectations get high either.
   
   They pride themselves on their Italian heritage, but as with most ethnic-wanna-be restaurants in America, Olive Garden is the American version of what an Italian restaurant should be.
   
   In the evenings and over the weekends you will most likely need a reservation, unless you wanna hang out in front of the restaurant with one of those light-buzzing things around your neck until they have an opening for you. Once inside, if you end up during a crowded time (more often than not), you will find it difficult to feel intimate with whoever is accompanying you: the place will be loud and the wait time might get in the way of feeling good.
   
   Nonetheless, the Olive Garden Tiramisu is excellent and so are their pizzas. The pasta dishes will fill you, but they are not truly authentic. In general, most of their entrees are for two to share or for one to take-home. Their best deal is the all-you-can-eat salad, soup & breadsticks combo!

   Great food, reasonable prices, great ice cream alcohol drinks, mmmmm breadsticks and salad, no reservations so eat early and expect to wait on the weekends for 20 or 30 minutes. Help is very friendly. good Italian atmosphere.

   Quality of Food is low and: Do not Dine here, the Service is no good. If you want good Italian go to Napoli's on 13th. The food at this Olive Garden all tastes like it was freshly defrosted, I would bet the employees here do not eat their food. Only thing I would use this place for is its large order pickups when providing food for businesses.
