Consistently delicious! My goto is the eggplant parmigiana and it’s always been good. Shrimp and pasta was flavorful and spaghetti was truly comfort food! Service was friendly and efficient as usual. Restrooms were clean. No matter which Olive Garden, it’s always delicious and generously portioned. Yum!! - Karen D
