Theres also a bunch of goodies displayed around the store and a pizza spot next door so it was fun to browse while waiting for our sandwiches.

Ah, Lido's. The name evokes visions of candlelit dinners, flowing Chianti, and the soothing strains…read moreof Italian music in the background. What do you actually get? A gastro-adventure straight to the snack aisle of your nearest convenience store. Let's start with the hors d'oeuvres, or as Lido's likes to call it, "a chef's journey into the heart of the '90s lunchroom." Picture this: a plastic ramekin filled with precisely seven Cheez-It crackers (yes, I counted) and a square of Lunchables cheddar. No garnish. No flair. Just the unapologetic crunch of nostalgia and the slightly sweaty texture of processed cheese. Très magnifique! The waiter presented it with such flourish you'd think he'd just handed us the Mona Lisa of appetizers. "Our finest pairing," he said, without a hint of irony. I half expected him to pull out a Capri Sun and pierce it for us tableside. I politely asked if this was a joke. His response? "That's how we keep it casual here." Casual? Sir, this isn't casual; this is culinary gaslighting. The rest of the meal wasn't even worth salvaging. The breadsticks were cold, the pasta was overcooked and drowning in bland marinara, and the tiramisu was a soggy mess that tasted like someone spilled coffee on a sponge. But honestly, after the snack attack that was the starter, everything else just felt like a backdrop. The only redeeming part of the evening was the exit, where I got to share a knowing, pity-filled glance with another couple clearly wondering if they'd accidentally wandered into the wrong restaurant. In summary, if you're looking for a unique dining experience that will have you laughing, crying, and questioning your life choices all at once, Lido's is your spot. Just be sure to BYOP--Bring Your Own Pepperoni. Apparently, that costs extra. Lido's isn't Italian--it's an insult.

I suggested they should add the gf dessert on the menu for us gluten sensitive customers. And of course I suggested to Jocelyn to call it the Beverly gluten-free dessert, ha, ha.

Mar was hands down one of the best waitresses I've had in a long time!…read more My sister and I stopped by Olive Garden for dinner, and from the moment we walked through the door, the vibe was on point. We were warmly greeted by the front staff and seated almost immediately. Mar was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was super friendly, laid-back, and attentive throughout our entire dining experience. Whether it was taking our drink orders, keeping the breadsticks and salad coming, answering menu questions, or checking in to see if we needed refills, she made sure we were well taken care of every step of the way. Now let's talk about the food! The breadsticks were hot, fresh, and even better dipped in a side of Alfredo sauce. Trust me--order the Alfredo sauce on the side. You can thank me later! For appetizers, we ordered the Spinach-Artichoke Dip with pita crackers, and it was absolutely sensational. For our entrees, we both went with the Chicken Alfredo--one topped with crispy chicken and the other with grilled chicken. Both dishes were cooked fresh to order, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. By the time our entrees arrived, we were already stuffed from the endless salad and breadsticks, so a to-go box was definitely necessary! I honestly haven't been to Olive Garden in years, so this felt like a brand-new experience all over again. The excellent food, outstanding service, and welcoming atmosphere reminded me why this place remains so popular. It's no surprise this location stays packed on the weekends. If you're ever in the Grossmont area, give this Olive Garden a try. There's plenty of parking, a fantastic staff, and great service. I'll definitely be back. As always, your favorite Yelper did the research for you--you can thank me later!

We got the fresh homemade bread, polpettine, insalate venere, linguine, and lasagna. The herb infused dip for the bread was delicious, and the bread came warm wrapped in a towel. The polpettine was my favorite appetizer, the meat was so tender and delicious and paired perfectly with the whipped ricotta. I appreciated the olives and onions in the dish as well, and the sauce was great with the bread. Our server was extremely kind and offered to split the salad for us. My boyfriend loved the salad and loved the pairing of the greens, goat cheese, and walnuts together. He got the lasagna for the main and noted that there were about 12 layers beautifully stacked upon one another. My linguine was delicious and packed with seafood which was cooked perfectly. The texture of the linguine was delicious and seemed home made. Overall the food and service were excellent. I'm so glad I found a gem near my home and will be back to try more of the menu.

Our server, Leticia, made the entire experience even better. We had two families at the table with three little kids, ages one, two, and four, and she was so patient, funny, and genuinely wonderful with them. As parents, we rarely get the chance to go out together, and she made the night feel so easy and enjoyable. It was one of those evenings that made us wonder why we don't do this more often. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was incredibly family-friendly, and the service was exceptional. We highly recommend Antica Trattoria, and we'll definitely be back.
