Ragu with service 4/22/2003

Ragu spaghetti sauce can be doctored up to taste better than this chain does. Why would you go here with Portofino being in the same town?! Pros: consistency Cons: bland, plain, ketchup-like sauce more

You have got to be kidding 1/12/2003

You list Olive Garden as a best for Italian Food? Please, on what scale? "The best overworked franchise place we could find". Frankies is great, Open Kitchen is great, but to list them with Olive Garden is an insult. Did you even go out and look for real Italian Food? What about Rossetti's in Cornelius? Please do me a favor, if you are going to rate Italian food, go to some real Italian restaurants. Thank you. more

Mass Produced Italian 10/31/2002

With so many good Italian restaurants in Charlotte, Why would anyone wait in line for Olive Garden? I guess all those millions spent on advertising works. Cause it's sure not the food. Over priced food of medium quality. I don't see the draw. I guess if all you know about Italian food is Lunchable Pizzas then this place may seem like heaven. Pros: Good bread Cons: over priced more

Yeah Right! 10/18/2002

This is as much an Italian Restaurant like McDonald's is Irish. I really have to say the Lasagna wasn't half bad which means the other half was. The dinner rolls were worse than hot dog buns. One thing about this restaurant located across from the Concord Mills is it looks nice from the outside (when your driving away). more

The McDonalds of the Italian food genre 10/9/2002

Only thing Italian here is the salad dressing. I have had so many unfortunate meal experiences at Olive Garden. Starting with the time I asked for no mushrooms and the server told me that I would not be able to get my entree without mushrooms because all their sauces come from a plastic bag to the time I took my friend there for her birthday and the server was more interested in telling all of his tables that he was going to college than serving our meal. The food is cloned, unoriginal and bland. Go to Frankie's for real Italian. Pros: Inexpensive, Quick Cons: Service, Unoriginal, Bland more

Fresh from the microwave! 10/8/2002

Nothing tastes better than overpriced food straight from the microwave. I gave Olive Garden a few shots, but the service was bad every time and the food was awful. The last straw was when I received my food and it was still frozen in the center. It's not authentic, it's not worth the money and it's not worth the bad service. Cons: not authentic, overpriced, bad service more

I May Try the Calamari One Day...NOT! 8/20/2002

Something has to be really good in order for me to drive as far as I do to get to the Olive Garden! And it is! The food, that is! I have attempted to try everything on the menu at least once! The veal usually calls to me...and I end up ordering it! I just love this restaurant. The only complaint I have is the crowding, so either everyone else stay home...or build a bigger restaurant! Or better, build one to the west of Charlotte! The bar area is definitely not big enough! When there is a lot of crowding, I have sat in the bar (gladly). It is close, though. You have to be very friendly to sit in there! But do! It is well worth the wait and the crowd! Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Atmosphere Cons: Crowded more

The super-size it Italian resaurant 8/13/2002

If ever there begins a trend of upscale fast-food restaurants that produce the kind of food you eat when your not familiar with culture or taste, this is the starting point. After being bombarded with bread ( not fresh, with a butter substance on it) and salad, you can recieve a slighty above mac and cheese meal. You can look for a nice bottle of wine but the food might get in the way of your being able to tell the difference between yours and the house selection. If you go, get yourself a nice bottle of domestic, sit back, enjoy your bread-stuff and soak in the outer-city culture around you. Bring your kids if you want to fit in. All of them! more
