Olive Garden is offering never-ending pasta for a limited time. In my opinion, this deal is only worth it if you can eat at least 2 plates of pasta. Choice of soup or salad. Unlimited breadsticks. You can pay more to add protein as well. Julio was an attentive server. He made sure our waters were filled and that food was replenished at a timely pace. Overall, good experience. Some times are busier than others, so prepare accordingly. read more

Olive Garden - Ala Moana - Never-Ending Pasta (Oct 2026) - Italian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My husband and I came in for dinner, and while the meal itself was fine, the service and hygiene standards were very disappointing. Our server, Karla, started off okay and checked on us twice early on. However, she brought me the wrong drink and charged me for a more expensive one on the check. When I pointed out the mistake, she claimed they were the same price, and I had to insist before she corrected the bill. Later, we had to ask her for drink refills, and when she finally brought mine, it was the wrong drink again. To top it off, as soon as we finished our entrees, she brought us the check without asking if we wanted dessert. When my husband mentioned we wanted dessert, she took our order, but her attitude felt rushed--until right before payment, when she suddenly turned overly friendly to secure a tip. The final straw was asking for an extra to-go box. She brought out the box open and held it pressed directly against her armpit and clothing. Because it was completely unsanitary, I couldn't bring myself to use it and had to squeeze all of our leftovers into our single first box instead. Between the repeated drink errors and poor hygiene handling, it was an unpleasant experience. read more

SSAB was amazing as usual, service was good; HOWEVER, THREE+ MONTHS OF NO FUNCTIONAL CENTRAL AC. There is one portable AC unit for the entire south side of the dining room( complete with trip hazard.) I was having to wipe sweat off my forehead at one point. Management: Your employees are suffering as well. read more

I gotta say the pastas they offer here are pretty good and the all you can eat salad and soup is one of the best deals you can get on the menu! Wanted to try something other than the pasta so I went with the chicken Marsala. I had high hopes for this but unfortunately the gravy that came with the dish was really salty. The lady that was our server was great she was nice and I like how she immediately made things right. She offered to get me a new menu item or asked if I wanted a remake. I declined and just settled for the soup that came with the meal. We also had meatballs, which was delicious! read more

This is one of the nicer Olive Garden restaurants out there... and maybe the only one in the USA with an ocean view! Food was just as expected (they all taste the same), though I will say this location had really great Al dente pasta which is unusual for Olive Garden. The only downside was that our waitress was not really friendly and it felt like we were inconveniencing her every time we asked for anything. read more

Food overpriced, drinks (alcohol) overpriced. Our server was excellent. Not returning anything time soon.

I usually don't do reviews about take out but what I got was just so great! I tried the new" Calabrian Steak and Shrimp Bucatini, which came with a spicy cream sauce with spinach, tomatoes , and obviously steak and shrimp! I was genuinely surprised in how it held up for a take out order! It also came with a soup or salad so I ended up getting the Zuppa Toscana which was also great! I ended up waiting and placing my order at the bar because that's just what I do, and Christina the bartender was amazing l! She made me feel so welcomed! The place is a very large environment but welcoming, as long as you are able to walk somewhat of a distance! All in all it was a great experience and I'll be back 100% for sure! Maybe with some friends next time! read more

I went to the location and wanted to put in a catering order. They had no idea what I was talking about but told me they would take my order down and speak with their managers who were very busy. I requested a call by end of day I went in about 2 o'clock in the afternoon on a Friday. I never got a call, needless to say I didn't place an order with them because I needed a response in a timely manner to make arrangements else where if they could not fulfill the order. read more

First time in Alamoana location. 4 people, 3 all ordered the never ending pasta, soup or salad and breadsticks. I ate 2 appetizers. After our first order was done, we ate, had appetizers leftover, then our server asks if we wanted take out box. No offer if we wanted more salad, soup or breadsticks! Never asked if we wanted more pasta either. Bill was $162! Never ending pasta, soup or salad sure ended fast! Felt like she wanted us out there quick! Won't be returning. read more

Bianca and Bonnie made my experience amazing! I asked for a Coconut Pineapple Margarita and they exceeded my expectations!

Olive Garden is my comfort food, so when a friend asked if I wanted to join on her family's dinner plans, I said heck yes. I ordered my usual endless soup and salad and started with the Tuscana. My next soup was the gnocchi. Too bad that was all I was able to have. I finished the Tuscana bowl and then waited a good 20 minutes to get the second soup bowl. By the time I finished that bowl everyone was done eating. Maybe it was the universe saying I'd had enough, but.. I wish that had been my choice. read more

The service at this Olive Garden was absolutely amazing. Bonnie was our server, and she was incredibly attentive, kind, and on top of everything throughout our visit. Even the manager on shift stopped by to check in, which was a really nice touch and made us feel valued as guests. The food, however, was just okay. My crispy chicken was unfortunately plated underneath the sauce, which made it very soggy. That said, Bonnie immediately offered to bring me a side of crispy chicken without hesitation, and it honestly made a huge difference and saved the dish for me. That level of service really stood out. Overall, the food was mediocre at best this time around, and I also noticed that the kids' portion was noticeably smaller than usual, which was a bit disappointing. Great service truly carried this experience, and because of that, I'd still come back -- just hoping for a little more consistency with the food next time. read more

I guess you really can't expect much from an "Italian restaurant" chain, but the food was meh. The service, and drinks pretty decent, but the food was as expected. All they really have is butter, unauthentic Alfredo, and marinara sauce. Tell me why I expected to see pesto? I have no clue. Everything is always way too buttery, like a swimming pool worth of butter. Definitely sent me straight to the restroom (which was really nice actually ) I can't expect real Italian food at an Olive Garden, so I won't rate it too horribly. It's like calling Taco Bell Mexican food, you just can't. read more

Service was excellent - the hosts at the host stand and our server were prompt, professional, and friendly. The food was nothing to brag about but it got the job done, aka we got fed. Noise level outside was loud due to Mai Tais but that was to be expected and it didn't bother us. Enjoyed our meal and dessert. The view of the fireworks, excellent service and cheesecake were the highlights of our evening. read more

I had plans to take my Kauai cousin to lunch at Jade Dynasty Seafood Restaurant at Ala Moana today, along with my kids cause she had never been. We got there and the wait was crazy. I took a ticket and was told it would be a 1/2 hour wait. Anyways, we were hungry so we made the big mistake of also putting our names on the Olive Garden waitlist and said whoever calls first that's where we'll go. Olive Garden opened up first so we went there. We were seated right at the front entrance and I noticed that table was still kind of dirty. I had crumbs on my arms that I had to wipe off. We were greeted by our server Rico but his name tag said Marcus? I was already like whatevs. I don't really like to call servers out by name but he was terrible. Anyways, we order and my son gets the wrong dish. Mistakes happen, no big deal. We just reminded him what his order was and he brought the correct one out. What I didn't like was that he didn't offer more breadsticks or refills on our obviously EMPTY soft drinks, not even once! We had to flag him down to ask. I take into consideration how busy servers can get, but he was also waiting on the family directly behind us & he was so attentive to them/ Always asking "You guys need a refill? You guys need more breadsticks?" I'm not sure if it was because we are locals but it felt kinda discriminating to our family. I honestly really never go to Olive Garden because the food isn't that great except for the breadsticks. I will definitely never go back to this location. Anyways, I still left a tip even though he didn't deserve it. read more

This place can't get it together. If you have an elderly person in your group, or you're sensitive to heat, beware - it's very warm inside since the A/C there is off (broken). It's been at least a month or maybe longer - that the air condition in this restaurant has been down. We were unfortunate to have dined there - no one in the store warned us, or told us the A/C was broken. We start eating and it got hot and uncomfortable. WE had to ask if the A/C was working - and our server said no (mid-meal). We drop by another day because we do like their food. We walked in and it felt warm. We asked the hostess if the A/C is working, and she shook her head. She tells us, it was going to be fixed on XX (specific date) We weren't going to eat here in that uncomfortable warm/hot restaurant so we didn't wait to get seated and left. I look and there are people inside trying to cool off by waving their menu or pamphlet. I felt sorry for them. After a couple of weeks, that specific date XX came and went, so we tried again yesterday; assuming the A/C would have been repaired already. Nope. A famous restaurant chain - can't get something like this repaired for weeks and weeks is ridiculous. read more

I am writing to share feedback regarding an unpleasant experience we had with the management team, specifically a manager named Kimmy working at the host stand. The server and male host that helped us were kind, and helpful- so this is not about anything else but management. When we arrived, we were quoted a 20-25 minute wait for an outdoor table, which we were happy to accept. Before being seated, Kimmy approached us alongside the host, questioning our choice to stay in a very snarky manner: "You guys know it's going to be a 45-minute wait for food, right? Like, you see how busy it is? If you guys want to leave, go ahead. You sure you wanna wait the 45 mins?" Given that we had already waited the initial 25 minutes, we noted that the wait was not a problem. While we were standing there, she proceeded to talk down to the host, loudly critiquing them for not warning other incoming guests about the kitchen backlog. Her tone was demeaning and created a very uncomfortable atmosphere, causing other guests behind us to leave. After that interaction, we were unfortunately seated inside, assuming they had forgotten we requested to sit outside- which we understood since they were busy. Customer service is the foundation of a dining experience, especially for first-time visitors. While we understand that restaurants get busy and rushes are inevitable, a manager's role is to handle that stress professionally. Talking down to staff and being dismissive toward customers is a poor reflection of the establishment. I believe Kimmy would benefit from further customer service and management training to better navigate high-pressure situations. The staff/ hosts below Kimmy deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. read more

Food was okay. what really made this experience memorable was Anthony! Anthony was absolutely amazing! He made our experience at Olive Garden so enjoyable from start to finish. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming, and you could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. The service was excellent, and Anthony went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of. He has such a great personality and is truly an asset to Olive Garden. We'll definitely be coming back, and we hope we get Anthony as our server again! And Anthony, if you're seeing this... my friend Ben thought you were CUTE! read more

Decided to grab dinner here on a Saturday night and was able to get seated within 15-20min. They let us kill time at the bar and just moved our waters over when we got our table. Service was pretty good overall. They checked in on us and made sure our drinks were refilled. Drinks: Pina Colada and Arnold Palmer Appetizer: calamari Entrees: create your own- bucatini pasta with spicy meat sauce and meatballs with salad Ravioli Carbonara with chicken and dumpling soup Calamari was good well and it had a nice and light and flavorful batter. My boyfriend did a create your own pasta because they had a limited time special of spicy meat sauce which he enjoyed and it definitely had some heat to it. I had the ravioli carbonara which I enjoyed and still had some leftovers. Salad and soup is also unlimited so I got a 2nd serving of the soup which had a light creamy base. They were also doing $8 take home entrees with a purchase of an entree so we both got the ziti to eat on another day. The ziti came out really good after heated and super cheesy! Portions are also pretty large so it's a good deal read more

Great food, great service, and a lovely view! We had a wonderful dinner at Olive Garden Ala Moana. We made a reservation for 5:30 PM and were seated right away. The staff was very accommodating when we asked to sit near the window to enjoy the view--such a nice touch that made the evening feel special. We ordered: - Appetizers: Stuffed Ziti Fritta & Calamari - Entrees: 3 All You Can Eat Soup & Salad, Build Your Own Pasta (Angel Hair with Meat Sauce & Chicken Fritta) - Keiki Plate: Cheese Ravioli, Grapes, and a Peach Smoothie - Drinks: Two 22 oz beers on tap & a Berry Sangria Our total came out to around $205 with tip, which felt fair given the amount of food and drinks. The service was excellent--our server was friendly, attentive, and checked in often to see if we needed anything. The salad was crisp and fresh, and the soup was hearty with plenty of ingredients. Everything came out at a good pace, and we never felt rushed. We'd definitely return. The food and service were both solid. Prices have gone up a bit, with pasta dishes averaging $25-$30, the All You Can Eat Soup & Salad at $20, and the keiki menu around $7.50--but overall, it was a great experience. read more

Service was great. Rating more for the food. Food was decent but for the price it is a bit steep for me. For a pasta entrees with unlimited soup and salad, ranged from $20-33. I reasoned though, with unlimited soup and breadsticks, that became my meal and just took the entree home to go. So I guess price is for 2 meals. I tried all 4 soups. I liked the flavor of Minestrone the best. Wasn't a fan of the others. Minestrone: had variety of ingredients and flavor Zuppa Toscana: a little watery rather than thick soup Pasta e Fagioli: tasted like spaghetti meat sauce soup version Chicken & Gnocchi: thickest of the soups though I'm still getting used to the texture of gnocchi Entree: Shrimp carbonara: shrimp was tender. Sauce was creamy read more

I love their soup, salad, and breadsticks. However, I was a little disappointed with the service during our group dining experience. With the already built-in gratuity, there didn't seem to be an incentive for the servers to go above and beyond. I also understand this may be more of a management issue than a reflection on the servers themselves, as they were assigned too many tables to handle effectively. I hope they can address this weakness to further benefit their customers. read more

We have been here a few times and the service and food has been good or at least average but never horrible. However this night, Aloha, our server was so nice and atrnetive. She was always present when we needs something and made sure we were enjoying our food. Hats off to the team the table was clean outside and the ambiance was comfortable and inviting. I can't complete this review by also left you know whoever was cooking the food tonight was on point! The zuppa soup was hardy but not overly salt. We ate the chicken carbanara and rhe chicken marsala. The first time we didn't have to use salt or ppepper and the chicken was sooooo juicy! Great job team maybe the staff changed which is why our experience was excellent! read more

I can't believe this is my first time here since it's been open. I've enjoyed Olive Garden in Vegas over the years but the last time was over 7 years ago. This location is in prime spot and the food is good. The portions are good sized, especially with all the breadsticks that they provide. I enjoyed the meatball parmagiana appetizer as my entrée, with enough to share with my daughter and granddaughter. Five moist and meaty, large meatballs with sauce and cheese left me stuffed. We also had the Ziti and cheese pasta, and unlimited soup lunch. Everything was delicious and our server, Emagin provided excellent service. (Sorry for the mess my granddaughter left) Prices are fairly reasonable, considering the portions they serve, and they're currently offering a "Kids eat free" special with a few child's meal for every adult dinner entrée. Good family-oriented dining. read more

Very busy tonight and although we were told that the wait may be up to 20 minutes long, we were sat quite quickly, literally, within 4-minutes of giving the host/hostess my name! Service here is always on-par! The food preparation, presentation and is always consistent! That's what I love about the Olive Garden, no matter where you are the food presentation, taste and service are always good! If you are looking for a hearty meal with good and consistent food presentation, taste and service you'll love the Olive Garden. They get my personal 4-Shaka rating! read more

Ordered chicken parmigiana, and told waitress Isabelle please no tomato sauce and just white sauce. I cannot eat red sauce. She said, "okay we can do that". Food came out, all tomato sauce all over the chicken. Remade. This time remade by the manager himself named Pono. They put the new chicken on the same damn plate and it still had red sauce underneath. They use the same damn plate for an allergy remake!!! Food industries know that you cannot do this. This is totally unacceptable. When I spoke to Pono he was dumbfounded and just credited my meal. But that's not the point! He had no compassion and looked like he didn't even care that the waitress gave bad service and didn't even want to take the remake back!! Very disappointed!!! read more

Been here half a dozen times and I can confidently say that it's gotten better. The first time we dined here, it wasn't good. The food was salty (like really salty), the breadsticks tasted stale, and the salad had way too much dressing. Despite that, we kept visiting in hopes it would get better and taste like it does in the mainland. Fast forward to our last visit, the breadsticks were hot and soft, the salad had just the right amount of dressing, and the food, although it was still slightly salty, tasted good and flavorful. We've consistently had good service here. Servers are personable and attentive and eager to recommend their favorites. It's usually pretty crowded when we dine in but we haven't had to wait long for a table. read more

It's been a couple of years since our last visit to Olive Garden, as we don't live in town anymore, so we decided to give them a visit. Was a little concerned at how long we may have to wait to get in, as it was a Saturday night about 7:30pm, and they don't take reservations. However, we were pleasantly surprised, and got seated right away! Upon arriving, hostess could've had a little more pep, but she was friendly enough. Our server was Kalau, and he was awesome. Super friendly, and lots of good energy right off the bat! He was very attentive, and checked on us often. Everything we ordered.. drinks, entrées and dessert, all brought out quickly! I decided to try the roasted chicken and gnocchi soup. I was a little hesitant, as 3 out of 5 reviews that I recently read, stated that when they got their soup, it was cold. Although mine wasn't cold, I can see what other diners meant. The soup was almost room temperature. It definitely would've been much better warmer, as it was very tasty! My husband ordered the shrimp scampi and I ordered the eggplant parmesan. Both were delicious! We then ordered the pumpkin crunch cheesecake, and although good, it was a disappointment that it was very cold and solid in the center as if it had been frozen and not fully defrosted. Overall, a great experience! read more
