Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Tour of Italy - Italian Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

I've never been an Olive Garden type person but the last couple of times I've been here I've been very impressed. For lunch today I had the salad and spaghetti and meatballs. The salad was out of this world. It had the freshest tomatoes and olives on it that you can get. I also love that the manager comes around and greets the customers. He's great! Who knows, maybe I'll become a regular? Meat sauce is highly addictive. read more

Won't be returning, my girlfriend is a server so she always tips 30% if not more & being we were out celebrating her promotion she brought an extra 75 JUST for tipping, yet the experience we had left her upset and not wanting to even leave a tip. We were OVERLY rushed the entire time just for the service not to be good, none of our plates or cups or salad was cleared off the table literally leaving us no space to get the "endless salad & soup" we got the manager to tell her about our experience because we understand sometimes it's not always the servers fault which was correct after the manger said they rush their servers to get people in & out as if their fast food. We brought a bottle of wine so you would think that would let them know we're gonna be a little longer than 15-20 mins to eat. Overall bad experience & service. read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - How our table was and this is just after we tried to get everything out the way - Italian Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Terribly sad. I had not had Olive Garden in a while and was looking forward to the never ending pasta bowl and new spicy Alfredo. Ended up getting Zuppa Tuscana, which is my favorite soup. The soup was like it was half new half old, half of the Italian sausage was pink (underdone) and half of the kale was brown. The new spicy Alfredo tasted like boiled peanut water. Ate about 2 bites of everything and left it. Unfortunately the manager came by to ask if everything was okay BEFORE we got our food. We ended up paying and just leaving without another word. I guess it's our fault for getting there so close to opening. The workers were nice, but the kitchen could use some QA. read more

First, let me stop by saying it is cold as hell in here. They were very busy. But they did get to us quickly and seated us in the North Pole. I ordered a dirty martini, which took a long time to come. The waitress came back and asked that I want gin or vodka. That was my fault. I often forget that you can have one of the other, but I always have vodka. I hate gin. A few more things transpired before I actually got that drink, I think it's because they didn't have a real bartender and I swear they either spilled or drink some of it before it got to the table. See the picture that is how much was in the class when I got it otherwise the food was OK normal fast food Italian, salty and cheesy. read more

The service was not great. Our server was for lack of a better term "dry ". The food was good although my steak in the pasta did not have that good crust on it, which makes me think the summer pasta is meet our pre-sliced and probably cooked in the house which isn't a huge issue given it is a chain restaurant and something like that is expected but just a little bit more time and care into the food would've been nice read more

I came at 3pm and it was a quiet casual vibe which I really appreciated as I was by myself and needed to get work done. I was able to be seated at a booth near an outlet upon request. Abel was a fabulous waiter. He was patient saw to my needs and made sure I knew about the soups and salads that came with my lunch entree. Upon Abel's recommendation I ordered the lunch portion of the Lasagna Classico. My food was out quickly (~10 minutes). I enjoyed my lasagna and the chicken soup. The only thing that left a little to be desired were my breadsticks. I wish they had been a little fresher. Considering my meal only came out to $13 I feel like I got excellent value (considering the lunch item came with soup + a refill). read more

This olive garden has a little bit of everything . We came in kinda late because I had just gotten off of work. We were seated promptly and provided service by Diamond. We started talking food and she immediately brought over the drinks , salad, and bread sticks . After a few minutes the manager walked over and noticed my daughters tshirt ( she was wearing smashing pumpkins) he got real with is telling us how much he loved the band and called over another waitress(Mandi) who was a singer in a band . The food was fantastic but the family atmosphere really brought it home for us. Excellent food , excellent service . We will come back at a more reasonable hour next time. We hope to see Mandi in her band really soon ! read more

I had a to-go order so I can't speak on what the restaurant offers on the inside. I had a taste for some soup, and Olive Garden's chicken & gnocchi didn't let me down. I got the soup and salad special. I'm so glad they only give you 2 breadsticks though they were delicious. The salad comes with the dressing, croutons, and dinner mint on the top of the container. The staff who brought my food out was very pleasant, and made sure she brought the correct order to me. read more

Really great place to eat. Food was great.Servers were very friendly. Great people. Very knowledgeable great place to take your family.

Ok...me & my mom went to get some soup and salad during lunch hours. We were seated right away. Soup and salad was superb all due to our waiter Leo! He was so attentive even though it was just soup and salad. He made sure we had enough dressing, cheese, water and tea. Checked on us frequently and was so freakin professional! The only reason I don't give five stars is due to Olive Gardens bread...not as good as it use to be. Looks undone and tastes just ok. But when it comes to our waiter....Thank you for treating us like we were at a five star restaurant! If you wanna feel like you matter & have an experience that's exquisite...ask for Leo! You'll thank me later! read more

Food is okay. The chicken and gnocchi is either a HUGE hit or a major disappointment and taste like dish water. They often forget something's on your order for curbside. The pasta is great and they do overload with chicken on the chicken Alfredo. Breadsticks don't taste the same either. Maybe the food is better without curbside but the curbside food does taste different. read more

I have not been to an Olive Garden in probably three years. I have steered away with mainly service and cleanliness issues. However, this review will focus on improvements with service at a location I had yet to try. The experience was expedited by friends who waited in advance. They were seated upon arriving and a hostess showed us to the table. On the walk through everything was clean and neat in appearance. Our young female waitress was strong from the beginning and got drink and food orders immediately since we were in a hurry. We set a timetable to get our food out with having an obligation. She confirmed they could do it. Drinks, salad, soup and bread hit the table within 5-6 minutes which was excellent! The salad was fresh, crisp and yummy! A refill of salad and bread was brought out soon after with out party of five devouring both. The bread was undercooked, not buttery and not nearly as tasty as I would have liked. With the timetable and being with friends no complaint was made. Edible, not up to par from what I remembered. My son reported his chicken and dumpling soup was great All the food hit the table at the same time which excellent! Friends reported the food was hot and appearance good. My son's cheese ravioli did not look good with dried up pasta. He said it tasted fine, but ate less than half which is unusual. My lasagna Frittata appetizer which has been a staple I order looked good on appearance but lacked the flavor although the texture was correct. Our waitress did provide refills and checked in. Our party decided to use the kiosk to checkout. We were able to split the bill and the system worked great and even printed a receipt. In personally do not like the machines, but it was useful. I hit up the men's room which is in the rear of the restaurant. They may have two sets of them considering its location. The facility had proper supplies and everything functioned as it should. Unfortunately the trash was overflowing and there was debris all around the container. It appeared to me to have not been checked in a while. I probably would not return to this location. In the past the a Newport News has been stronger. I want to make it clear that it was the sub par food, not the above average service that deducted a full star. read more

Okay, seriously - when did the Olive Garden become some kind of weird bougie hot spot? Like, the whole point is that you get 90s style "classy" dining that everyone knows isn't much better than Panera (and let's be real, some of the new Italian stuff at Panera is probably better) but the breadsticks and salad dressing are laced with some kind of narcotic that you can't seem to quit and whatever you ordered for dinner is passable. On my recent couple visits here, the to-go line/time to get your order has been INSANE. So, I opted to sit at the bar top instead - I tried a chicken, peppers and pasta dish that was okay but not GREAT, especially when it had a $20 price tag. I mean honestly. The local Italian place we order pizza from every Friday has a range of MUCH better pasta choices at cheaper prices (and some of their stuff is made in-house). I guess you get what you pay for with the chain game - and it's not usually my favorite, but I do love the endless salad and breadsticks. That will probably always keep bringing people back. read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

"Sit-down Italian-style food on Mercury Blvd near Peninsula Town Center" My kids LOVE Olive Garden, so I come by this restaurant most times when passing through Hampton. I typically get the eggplant or chicken parmigiana, and the rest of my family often get things like chicken fetuccini alfredo or one of the seafood dishes. Setting: Bright, and not too crowded. Decent decor. We often show up on a Friday or Saturday night around 6pm, and we've never had to wait more than a few minutes for a table. Parking can sometimes be pretty full, but there are always spots out back. Tables are a decent distance apart. Quality: Always good. Breadsticks are always delicious-- salty/ garlicy without being overwhelming. The salad is always good, and there are usually a good number of olives and tomato slices in with the (iceberg) lettuce. Main dishes are always hot and fresh, and even the fish is quite good. Honestly, we've never been disappointed-- everything is prepared as we'd want it. Yes, it's not "true" Italian, but sometimes you just want some sauce-drowned fried deliciousness (or equivalent, depending on the dish). Value: Fair. It's certainly not expensive. Service: Decent. A few times, we have felt a bit "forgotten" right after first being seated (like no one thinks it's their table), but it's always fixed when we ask. Servers are always friendly & helpful, and they do check on us, though we do occasionally run out of a drink or something and have to flag someone down for a refill. But for a crowded chain place rather than a luxury local restaurant, I'd say it's very fair. Synopsis: We like it! I dare say I'm even a fan. My kids certainly likes it, which keeps me happy. Again, it's not "fine Italian dining", but it's a freshly prepared, quality meal for a value price. read more

Damien! We can't say enough about this server! In the 30 years of visiting Olive Garden's he was the most fantastic server ever! He was so kind, sweet, attentive, and presented the most beautiful salad in the history of Olive Garden! He made an ordinary lunch exceptional!! Day was outstanding, and we just wanted to say thank you for your amazing kindness and service! read more

I ordered the Seafood Alfredo and a bunch of other items. The Shrimp and scallops were clearly microwaved and not sautéed. Instead of arguing and them doing something worse to my food in the back, I just took it home and sautéed the seafood myself. The other food came out fine. But the seafood was clearly not cooked in a pan so maybe just don't order that. read more

Service was begrudging and very slow. We waited 40 minutes for salad and there were no clean salad tongs! Our main course (after one hour) still hasn't arrived. The restaurant has many staff and few customers, so not sure what is going on. None of the employees seem to enjoy being here. read more

The only reason that I'm giving this establishment one star is because of the true Olive Garden experience. Let me just start off by saying this is not the true fine dining Olive Garden experience you were anticipating. The first time I went I was denied my unlimited soup and salad because I didn't say "I explicitly wanted unlimited soup and salad". These were absolutely mortifying words to hear from my server that lovely afternoon. The second time I went, yes I went back because you can't judge a Pazooki by its ice cream, our sever denied us of our god given Olive Garden rights. She kept only bringing us out only TWO. YES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT two breadsticks at a time! What a catastrophe, not to mention one of the lightly buttered salt glazed sticks had a bite taken out of it! Overall I highly recommend never visiting this establishment unless you want; half eaten two breadsticks, medium rare chicken and be denied your right to unlimited soup. TTYL. XD read more

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - That's one huge crouton! - Italian Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Took roughly 12mins to be seated; then the waiter tried to take another few minutes for the dinner special time to exhaust out. I am glad that our waiter offered the complimentary wine and made a way to still enter in our food before the time ran out. 4:57pm We've all ordered now we wait for food. 5:05pm Appetizers and drinks are served. 5:15pm The Food arrived. 5:33pm Bill was dropped off. Our waiter name was Eric! Thanks Eric! Our server was great just wish that the hostess' should that same energy. I feel like because they were a higher pay the energy and professionalism lacked as if they didn't have to provide the same service and hospitality as our server. The WiFi connect here was outstanding! I love Olive Garden so I will in fact be back. read more

Service was poor but I could tell the server was a little frustrated by one table of rude customers, but food always great.

So came in with my family. Thought it would be a good time out for my mother. Giving this restaurant a 4 due to the great manager. It wasn't an impressive evening with our waitress so I spoke with the manager about her on our way out and the manager thanked us for bringing it to her attention, asked for us to come back and they will work to give us a better experience. Our waitress was not very attentive. Took forever to bring drinks, refills, breadsticks, food, to go boxes. She brought the check but it wasn't in a holder. The manager later mentioned that the restaurant went away from the Card/bill holders. Hmm. Ok. She said "who is taking care of the check", instead of maybe "here is your check, no rush and if you need anything else, please let me know." Also, She never offered to clear plates out of the way as the meal went on. Definitely not normal for a waiter/waitress that's on the ball. I'm sure that the manager will be correcting the issue so another customer doesn't receive the same service as we did. read more

I typically am not a fan of chain restaurants due to personal preference, but it's pretty appealing to be offered unlimited breadsticks and salad with your meal. My coworker and I stopped by for lunch on a Sunday. When asked how long it would take to be seated, we were given a 15-20 minute wait time. Gave the host our name and in return we received a buzzer. Good thing I paid attention to the little ad on it because it stated that while waiting, we can head to the bar and have any glass of wine for half price! We absolutely took advantage of that. The bartender was fantastic, even though it was brief as our buzzer vibrated probably 8 minutes into waiting. We were seated in a spacious booth. There was nothing too spectacular about this dining experience. I ordered a build your own pasta: angel hair with creamy pesto sauce and vegetables. The sauce was mediocre at best. The bread sticks and salad were great. Can't forget about the 1/2 priced glass of wine. My coworkers lasagna looked okay. Unfortunately, the biggest downside was our server. I did not catch a name as his name tag was blank. It just seemed as though he did not care to be there. I typically like to give the benefit of a doubt because I have a history of working in food service, but his overall attitude was poor at our table and to others in his section from what I witnessed. read more
