We had a great experience coming here. It was our first time at this location and it was great. Server was fun and full on energy! Food was excellent. Server recommended a couple things and we said sure why not lol. We did the lasagna Fritta and chicken & shrimp cabanara. And they were delish! read more

This is the Seafood Alfredo. I love it. How ever I got 3 shrimp and pieces of the scallops. I am already paying 24.49 for this and they want me to pay extra if I want more shrimp. Also, with the Scallops were hardly there! I got a little bit of pieces the size of a jelly bean. I asked for some black olives with this order today. I got 3 Lol Pay a little more attention to your good paying customers. read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Seafood Alfredo - Italian Near Me - Carson, California

The lobby seating was plenty and comfortable. However, the restaurant needs WD-40 to stop the door springs from emitting a high-pitched squeak each time doors are opened and closed. The restaurant was clean, lively, but well-attended. Our server was attentive and made sure the kids were occupied with an activity booklet. The children enjoyed their food (chicken parm and fettuccine alfredo). My chicken marsala was quite salty; potatoes were very processed and inedible for me. Our overall experience was pleasant, but it took quite some time before we were able to check out - even after approaching three people. read more

You can never go wrong eating here. If you're looking for a song, good Italian food. I know this is more of a franchise and fast food. Kind of restaurant but it will definitely do the job if you're craving good Italian food. , read more

We came in on a Friday night, waited about 20 minutes to be seated which was pretty decent for a Friday. As we got seated I put my kids food in on the little table tablet. Our server came and got our drink order and we also ordered calamari and our entrees. The 2/5 stars is for the service. We got a lot of "sorry" from our server. Our waters had ice when we ordered no ice. Sorry. Our calamari came before our soup or salad. Sorry. Our entrees came out really late. I also ordered an extra meatball for our kids food that cane out ridiculously late. Sorry. The last one was for our check and boxes it was a sorry I had to use the restroom.... A little TMI. After not seeing our server for most of the night the last 10 minutes he was definitely around. We were celebrating mine and my youngest daughter's birthday month so we did get a free birthday dessert. read more

You can't go wrong for the $! The food is good and the service was excellent. Best value! The server was very attentive and caring. The restaurant was busy on a Friday night at 9. Still a line but the wait was less than 10 minutes. The salad was good and the bread was soft and yummy. We had the Tour of Italy which is a combination (perfect for the undecided) and the Chicken Parm . I would order that again. Nothing fancy. Comforting and filling. The restaurant is inviting, bright, comfortable and filled with happy customers. This is a great place for families. read more

I can never understand why some places that always have consistent great service has low stars. Every time I come here, they make sure I have everything I order to go. Same when we dine in. Today, we did a to go order. Everything is always neatly packed and correct. Parking can be a doozy as it's always packed. Food I always fresh and delicious. They never give me a hard time about needing extra Romano cheese. This place does tend to get super packed on weekends. The place is clean. Servers are clean. They are welcoming when you walk in. Prices remain reasonable. I wish OG would bring back their Alfredo pizza lol read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Packaged to go food - Italian Near Me - Carson, California

When it comes to a quick, easy, family friendly meal and restaurant- I don't think you can go wrong with Olive Garden. The staff was friendly and helpful, the restaurant lacked nothing in regards to service. This is not really top-tier Italian food, but it's better than any pasta I can make at home. I recommend this restaurant for good customer service, great food at an affordable price. My fettuccini with 5 cheese marinara with a delicious dish, paired with a Peroni I was very happy. read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Carson, California

Yes, I ordered a kids meal. Yes, I am a fully grown adult. And YES, it was delicious. For $7.49 at the Olive Garden in Carson, I got pasta, a side, breadsticks, a drink, and a mint that made me feel fancy. The meal came with silverware if you ask nicely -- but no pepper packet, which I'm still emotionally processing. It took about 20 minutes, but they let me chill at the bar with my drink like a classy rebel. Bonus: there's a bike rack out front, so I rolled up like a pasta-powered commuter. 10/10 would dine like a child again. read more

The service at this Olive Garden is just the best. Kim helped us and she was just a wonder. She was so kind to me grandson and when I had to correct him to say please, she just smiled at him and said what he said was great. She paid so much attention to him and listened to him. It is hard to understand him when he speaks. She just stood there and was so happy when we got the words out and she would smile at him some more. He told me he wants to go back to see his friend. Now, they have games on a pad at the table so if you have a kid, get ready to be ignored, but that is fine. Clearly, those games are more interesting than me and his Pop Pop. The place is ever so clean, including the bathrooms and the booths are big and comfortable. The lobby is pretty and the front desk staff is really nice. If I were you I would go around 4 for dinner or it is going to be very crowded. We loved our food. Their never ending salad bowl is just perfect. I am not in love with their bread sticks, but my grandson love them. All of the pastas are super. We had Ziti and a dish with ravioli, linguini and chicken parmesan. All of it was great. We had never had steak there, but my husband was brave and wanted to try it. It came out just as ordered with great vegetables and he was thrilled. Their little donuts with two sauces on the side are so good. These are addictive. The prices are fair and again, you won't find better service. read more

First time at this location and had a pleasant dinner. I was craving soup and salad and their $14 never ending soup salad and breadsticks is such a deal. I'll forever love you OG for this lol. Our dinner experience was definitely elevated because of Melzir (sorry for the spelling). He was one of the most lively, professional and accommodating servers I've ever experienced. He made some great recommendations and made sure our bowls, salad and drinks were constantly filled. Servers like him make all the difference in the experience and can make your restaurant go from good to great. The food was made fresh and did not disappoint. Yes OG is a franchise so it can be hit or miss but it seems like this location makes an effort for the community. Would definitely come back again. read more

Had a great lunch at Olive Garden for a farewell celebration and bday celebration with my friends and boyfriend! It was such a lovely time and impressive service! My boyfriend couldnt eat cheesecake so our server went out of his way and replaced it (while we all still enjoyed the cheesecake)! I got the eggplant parm and that was yummy! Everyone loved their food too! Didnt take a photo of the food but this is a photo of our server! read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Our joyful Server - Italian Near Me - Carson, California

I usually don't give low ratings. But I gave them 2 stars because I got seated and after 10 mins of not being offered water or being greeted by a server I had to get up and ask for a manager. The place was busy but most of the Olive Gardens I go to be busy and I still get better service. The food was good as always. I ordered endless pasta bur I didn't order a second plate because the place was just too busy for the servers. I finished my soup and the empty bowl stayed on my table for the whole time I was eating my entree. I think I'm busy nights thry need more help servers bussers. The staff was nice. Just needed more help. read more

I was craving some pasta and what better place to go than Olive Garden... I haven't been in a couple of months, so I decided to take myself to dinner. The wait for table of 1 was about 10 minutes, the server Angela was very beautiful with amazing customer service. The food came out faster than my drink but that's okay because I was hungry. Everything was nice! But the only thing that grossed me out and turned my stomach was looking around the restaurant and noticing the fake plants on top of the tables with the booths were a great amount of spider cobwebs and so much dust around the entire area. I immediately asked to pack my food to go and I left. I understand sometimes it could be a hassle to keep a restaurant sparkling clean but a duster and vinegar works very well. I hope you can handle this situation soon because it is very disturbing to customers, including myself. read more

I was sent here on Mother's Day to purchase two Chicken Alfredos and one Seafood Alfredo. Nothing out of the ordinary there. I had zero thoughts of speedy service as I couldn't park even remotely close to Olive Garden Restaurant. There were at least 20 persons waiting to get seated for inside dining. I generally order my meals for take-out. To my surprise, I walked right up to the counter, placed my to-go order and was gone in 20 minutes. Now that's service! I did see familiar faces working hard but I could not single anyone out. Everybody was on point. Five stars go to the entire staff today. I could not be happier. Thank you, thank you, thank you for a job well done!! read more

Our server gave us mediocre service at best. Kinda had an attitude. I'm not one to leave reviews but the audacity when it came time to pay, he takes my card and never shows me the tablet to pay but on the receipt I see a charge for gratuity @$19.95 on a $95 bills. I speak to the manager and pretty much calls me a liar in front of the manager and says he gave me the tablet. Obviously everyone at my table seen he never gave me the tablet. The GM did offer to help and give back the gratuity charge but I declined. read more

This Restaurant is ok. We've been coming here for years and today is our first time with bad experience. Our Waitress was Arlett M. rushed us from the minute we sat down and only showed up to take our order and drop off food. Never once stopped by to check on us. We have empty water glasses that never refilled, we wanted bread but she never showed up until we were almost done. We ordered a bottle of wine, she brought us wet wine glasses that were straight out of the sink or something, wine bottle were not opened and when we let her know it was not opened she brought us the wine opener and just put on the table. Service sucked. I also asked for the Menu so I can place a to go order and she brought the menu but did not come back to take the order. In the mean time the other Waitresses were showering their customers with love. She ruined our Family Sunday lunch. Ugh read more

It had been a really long time since I had been to Olive Garden. So, when my coworker and I were nearby (May 28, 2025) and wanted soup and salad, we decided to give it a try. The experience was not wow but, we made the best of it. The waitress was alright and she seemed to be trying but, it took a good while to get more salad and soup once we needed more. We only had an hour lunch, so we did not get to enjoy it as much as we had hoped. The salad took nearly 10 minutes to replenish but, the soup took around 15 minutes, so by the time she brought it, there was no time left/ we had to leave. So, I never got to try it fresh and hot before we left. That was really disappointing! We paid using the tablet at the table to save time and I made the mistake of selecting a paper receipt. Since nothing came out, I assumed that I was supposed to pick it up in the front, as I was leaving. We only had three minutes to get back to work so we did not have a lot of time to wait and try to locate the waitress. So, I decided to stop by the front desk on the way out and ask for a receipt. Unfortunately, they said that they would have to locate the waitress to get it. So, I had to forego getting a receipt. This was definitely not the experience we were anticipating. I will not be back. read more

Food is always pretty good. I love the Alfredo. It tastes fresh. The appetizers are delicious and creative. We went on Sunday night for endless pasta. The servings came out super fast. Our server was nice and our food runner was even cooler. (He left us the cheese grater bc we wanted to save his arm haha). It was super busy and was told 20 minute wait, but we were seated in 10 minutes. It was loud, but it's an Olive Garden, not a 5 star restaurant. We were in and out quick, just in time to make it to target. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality read more

I've never felt so disrespected at a restaurant as I did during my recent visit to Olive Garden. Our waiter took our order, but things quickly went downhill when he inserted himself into a private conversation at our table. When he was politely told that the conversation didn't concern him, he became visibly upset and told us he would find another server. We all agreed that was best if he felt he could no longer provide good service. A few minutes later, a new server approached to retake our entire order--completely disregarding the time we had already spent. I asked to speak to a manager because our original server had already taken the order and should have communicated with the kitchen. The manager later confirmed that the order was placed and apologized for the confusion. Sadly, this isn't the first time I've experienced poor service at this location. During a previous visit, a different server recognized how badly we were being treated and stepped in to take over. At this point, the pattern is starting to feel racially motivated, and I will never return. Dining out should be a pleasant experience, not one that leaves you feeling disrespected and disregarded. Olive Garden needs to do better. read more

I recently visited Olive Garden, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. While our server, Ruben Valdez, was friendly and attentive, the overall management left much to be desired. I encountered a serious issue when I discovered mold on my broccoli, but despite bringing this to the attention of the manager, Roxy, there was no action taken to address the situation. The wait for management was frustrating, as it took an unacceptably long time for someone to come to our table, despite our repeated requests. Additionally, the kids' pizza was unappetizing, and although we were offered an alternative, it took over 30 minutes to receive it. After waiting so long, we ultimately decided it wasn't worth it and opted to leave. This visit left both me and my child hungry and disappointed. Given the circumstances, I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. It's disheartening to say that I've had better experiences at fast food establishments, which often maintain higher quality control. I advise family and friends to consider other dining place because this experience was ridiculous Plus the salad was dry and unflavored read more
