Came to Olive Garden to try the Never-Ending Pasta Challenge. For the price of $21, it's choice of four pastas, five sauces, and three meats which include chicken Fritta, Meatballs, and Italian Sausage. BUT, the BIG BUT is this includes choice of four unlimited soups, salad, and breadsticks. Is the food gourmet fine dining? No. But it solid Italian style cuisine with just enough variety to make life interesting. Our server Melissa was wonderful and made our experience great. And the food was delicious and fun at the same time. Nice and casual atmosphere with private booth seating throughout the restaurant. Olive Garden fills a niche that is unlike any other chain restaurant.

All of the three above! Good food, Service & Ambience The soup & salad is always fresh Thanks

Lunchtime was awesome! I wanted to personally thank Athena our server for taking care of me and my wife. We ended up ordering The lunch specials and the food was amazing! My wife ordered the shrimp scampi and I ended up ordering the chicken Parmesan with a side of spaghetti. The breadsticks were awesome! And I can't tell you how great the salad was! If you want a great deal come to Olive Garden for their lunch specials during the week.

I had a fantastic time at Olive Garden for their 11am - 3pm Weekday Specials. Audrey was an amazing waitress who attentively paced our food, drinks, and endless bread sticks, salad, and soup. My shrimp scampi pasa was only 490 calories with shrimp, asparagus, and tomatoes.

This is a repeat visit. I came with a large party to celebrate a birthday and the service was very friendly. The food came at a reasonable wait time. The ambiance is very casual. Would recommend coming here.

We had the lovely Gina for our impromptu date night last night. She was seriously wonderful- attentive, brought us both refills instead of one at a time, freshest bowls of soup. I was working on my salad (endless soup and salad option), so the soup had sat for a bit. When Gina saw that the soup I had ordered was refreshed in the kitchen, she brought me a fresh bowl and whisked away the one I hadn't been able to touch yet. Food was good. Hub's Chicken Parm came out PIPING hot! Thanks Gina for a lovely evening!

What, Olive Garden get's five stars?!?! Most definitely on this occasion. I've been working on a deck project at home for a couple of days, and tonight, just didn't feel like making dinner. Carolyn has a bad cold, and has not been very hungry. I went on line and ordered take out Minestrone, Salad, and Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Meatballs from Olive Garden. We're just ten minutes away, so a leisurely ride with the dog to the take out parking space. 27 minutes from order to pickup. Quickly back home and served up a three course meal. The Minestrone was awesome. A rich, meaty broth, and lots of chunky vegetables. The flavor profile was amazing for take out. And the serving size was enough for us both to have a bowl. We added a salad and four bread sticks. Again, enough for us both to have lots of salad. (Love Olive Garden salad.) Our main course was fresh cooked spaghetti, with a hardy meat sauce (and extra sauce as requested, and three huge meatballs. The flavor was just what we were looking for. One entre was enough for us both, with a smidge left over for lunch tomorrow. The soup was part of the Spaghetti meal for $17.95. The Salad was $8.95. A $4 tip for the take out guy who brought it to our car and we are on our way. You can't get out of McDonalds for under $22. It was well work a few extra bucks for this delicious meal from Olive Garden. It was a perfect meal - ample serving for two, delicious food, quick service, and it just fit our need at the moment. Damn right, five stars!

The last time I visited the Olive Garden in Hayward was well over a few years ago. Very welcoming staff and service was great. Our party consisted of fourteen of us on a Saturday evening at dinner time. So the service Jazmine provided us yesterday exceeded my expectations. Upon entering our host was kind enough to let us chose the dessert for my Sister's birthday before hand. The wait was about a good half hour and sure enough it was perfect time as we left there were a lot of people waiting to be seated. The salad and soup on point like always. I also had the peach mango ice tea and it was very refreshing. Jazmine continued to check on us and continued to be very patient. I had the Chicken Parmigiana with spaghetti and the flavor was amazing. The chicken was tender and this time the breadsticks didn't have loads of garlic, everything was perfect. If you're quiet for a brief moment you can hear music playing and the ambiance is very family oriented. What I enjoyed most is being checked upon I believe it may have been perhaps a Manager may have checked on us as two of our orders were late. Being a Saturday evening at dinner time it's understandable but what I appreciate from Jazmine is she did offer more salad, soup and breakfast with drink refills consistently. Thank you Jazmine!!!
