Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I used to love this Olive Garden location but the past three times I have been consistently been unimpressed. Either the food quality is poor or the service is awful (no joke, I was once at the restaurant for 3 hours from the time my family and I were seated to the time we left!!!!). I hope this critique will help the management make some necessary changes to improve this restaurant to what it used to be!

I have had a love affair with Olive Garden for at least 15 years now. The stuffed mushrooms are my favorite. Tonight I was served a plate of shrooms in which one was missing it's stuffing. The manager apologized and brought me a complete new order. This is excellent service- apologize, fix it and go one step further! Awesome job OG. Thanks for keeping me a satisfied customer all these years!

We visit this location of Olive Garden on a fairly regular basis and we find that the service is always excellent and the restaurant is very clean and pleasant to visit. We love the salad and all this soups and have never ordered anything on the menu that we didn't love. Tonight I had the 3 for $11 and it was superb. I had the salad, shrimp caprese and chocolate mouse. Our service was excellent as always. The one and only small complaint that I had was that our bread was not as fresh as it normally is. the end of the bread sticks were hard. I am sure if I had complained they would have brought more because that is the type of service they always have. This location is always welcoming and enjoyable.

Our waiter was very good. We were told 15 minute wait which was more like 7. We ordered drinks and the bruschetta appetizer immediately. The bruschetta took longer than it should have. The bread was dry and hard, but the topping was good. Food was good as usual. I had stuffed chicken marsala, and my husband had chicken scampi. It was busy and the table next to us was enjoying the never ending pasta bowl a little too much. We were seated between 2 large parties, so we didn't get the peaceful date night we had hope for. Upon leaving we were approached by a pan handler in the parking lot. I told my husband to go tell the manager, who did attempt to get the man to leave, however he quickly went inside. This left the man walking just a few steps behind me yelling at my husband at I. I finally told the pan handler I didn't care if he was old, I'd still bust him up, and after following us to the car he scampered off to Starbucks.

Disgusting! Terrible service and the waiters are so rude and SLOW. Everything tastes so frozen now, not sure what happened to their taste but only thing that's half decent is the salad
(1)Lisa S.
All I can say is all you can eat soup, salad, and breadsticks! Gnocchi to die for!

I go to this specific olive garden about twice a month. The service is always friendly as I step thru the door. The wait time isn't bad. Once seated, they normally offer you wine, but I pass; just want the food. I always get the never ending soup bowl. The service thus far has been great. Wait time for food is anywhere from 15 or more minutes. Even during peak hours they do their best to be friendly, which isn't the same as other restaurants. This review is subject to change however as of now, I give it 5 out of 5, one of my favorite places in the Harbison area of Columbia.

Olive Gardens in general are great, and this one is definitely no exception. Service is great. Food is amazing. Prices aren't that bad when you consider the quality. I've never had to wait too long either.
(5)Dorothy C.
After assisting a family member move back to Columbia ot was time to eat. We worked through lunch knowing Olive Garden was our choice for dinner. Like any restaurant, the wait is relentless at the mass hour. We arrived for the early bird special and were seated upon arriving. Good pleasant service. Try the mixed grill. Wonderful. Light, healthy meal.

Olive Garden is my wife's favorite restaurant and we travel a good bit so we've been to Olive Gardens all over the country. The food here was the worst we've ever encountered. All of the pasta was overcooked and the sauces were terribly bland. It tasted like TV dinner or school food. The salad was devoid of the things that make it a salad. A big bowl of lettuce does not a salad make. The Tuscan soup, though, was probably the best I've ever had. My son's kids pizza was, I feel certain, a toaster pizza. My wife doesn't like to kick up a fuss though, so we didn't complain. I wasted over $100 at this place. Heed my warning and stay away!

By far the best Olive Garden location I've ever visited. We never miss a chance to stop for lunch when traveling through South Carolina. The staff is always quick and welcoming and the food is always perfect!

My wife and I had two different coupons for two different promotions, each said "Limit one coupon" and we assumed that meant per promotion, since many restaurants print the coupon whether it's per promotion, per customer, per table, etc. Food and wait service was great! But then they wouldn't take our coupons, just one. We are on a right budget, so we brought enough cash, but now we had to pay more. The manager wasn't very helpful, but the waitress was! She suggested we split the bill, bc it's one coupon per bill. Manager allowed us, but it cut the value of one of the coupons in half for some unexplained reason. Manager blamed corporate. So I emailed corporate, and they were very responsive! They said they'd pass along our suggestion for better clarity on coupons, and they mailed us a ten dollar gift card (I asked for a gift card, but didn't specify how much - we lost five bucks due to the coupons not working out as expected). I was pleasantly surprised! Good job OG!

Went to eat here today in the afternoon with my sister, we didn't have to wait too long so that was a nice change. However we have both noticed that the first salad and bread they bring out is always always the pits (wilted salad and stale bread) but the second batch is great! Why is that? Anyway something unusual happened that made us both uncomfortable: a family was seated the next table over from us and for some reason the dad was upset and moved them to another table across the room, I mean they totally abandoned their drinks, salad and bread. The manager was apologizing like crazy but I have no idea why! They really upset the atmosphere though. Weird.

This review is pretty much for a new concept that Olige Garden is doing (though not sure if it's for this particular location or vast majority of Olive Gardens) and if othe restaurants in general do this as well. It's been a while since I've eaten at an Olive Garden and when we were seated, I noticed that they had little computer things on the table, which is used three fold (if not more). O me thing you can do is play trivia (but at cost) while waiting for your meals. Also, you can order appetizers on this gadget (but not your main course - you still will have your order taken by the wait staff) - but not sure if ordering meals in the future will ever be done on these. The major difference is your waiter / waitress no longer brings your bill to you at the end of the meal (but you still get the Andre Mints!), your bill is electronically put on here. The tip is figured automatically (depending on how much you want to tip percentage wise) and you sign electronically (even though I wish there was a stylus available to use). Even though we were not splitting our bill on our recent visit, there's that option (but not 100% sure how it works). Also , you have to use a credit card to pay on the thingy, and if you're paying cash, assuming the wait staff would need to handle your bill. A couple of other features I saw, but didn't use was there was a "call server" button - so not sure 100% if that works, as well as an "order beverage", button as our waitress took our drink orders (though we were ordering non alcoholic beverages) and if you in fact use this feature, if it's only for "adult beverages".

Wait staff was HORRIBLE! They either constantly pestered us or ignored us for a long period of time. It took 15 minutes to get my drink to the table, and they weren't even that busy! When went to tip an appropriate amount for their service (around 10%), the new tablets at the table took out 20% automatically. I felt robbed and left with a horrible taste in my mouth. My family and I had been loyal costumes for years, but after this, we have NO intension of returning.

Me and my family of ten are on vacation and had dinner here the other night and it was a wonderful experience! We walked in without a reservation and after a short wait our table was ready, equipped with two of the friendliest and sufficient servers i have ever met. Having been in the resturant business for a few years and a fan of eating out i have never had a better experience. We never had to ask for anything, and the second the breadsticks or drinks were gone from the table a new batch was delivered. The staff took the time to sit and talk with us, and they were a genuine group of people, they took away the stress of eating out with a big party and we had a great time!
(5)Matthew C.
Jennifer was amazing and our soup & salad was so great, it's definitely what you should order. Great prices and tasty food.
(4)Brittany and Tim L.
Not much to say. It is a chain Italian resturant. The all you can eat bread sticks and salad is my favorite. The seafood pastas are all good as well as the stuffed shells.
(4)Scott G.
Just say no to the busiest restaurant in Columbia. Do yourself a favor and try something different for the same price, Italian food is amazing and there are plenty of other places to eat around town!

Predictable. Bottomless salad bowl and friendly waitress were the best parts. It was better the last two times we ate there. My new chicken dish was awful. A bit pricey at $47 including tip for 3 people drinking just water. Bright, clean, friendly atmoshpere. They push the expensive wine. Why can't anybody have a decent carafe of house wine for less than ten bucks? Except for the vegetarian in the group, I'd eat at the ale house up the block. That's real food and lots of beer choices.
(2)Miranda G.
It was quite busy when we went so we had to wait for about 30 minutes for lunch. Once we were seated, our waitress was as attentive as could be expected considering how busy it was. The food was good and we really enjoyed the salad and breadsticks that just kept coming! A pretty good deal for the money. Would definitely eat here again, but maybe at a less busy time.
(4)Grace M.
It's usually pretty busy on the weekends, but it's with the wait if you want good breadsticks, salad, and soup. I've honestly never gotten anything else off of their menu, so I can't give a full 5 stars, but I've never been unimpressed with their soup and salad or breadsticks. It's in a pretty good location because it is within close proximity to the mall, movies, and other shopping alternatives such as Target and TJ Maxx.
