i really love itallian food and this is the best I have ever had,the staff are always warm and welcoming and the food is very good also the tiramassou is to die for!! I can-not leave here until I had some.
Olive Garden is a family-friendly Italian restaurant, with no relation to the American chain of the same name!
They do a great range of pizzas and pasta at good prices and the service is friendly.
There's a decent vegetarian menu - always nice to be able to choose from more than a Margherita pizza or mushroom risotto - and they even have vegan pizza!
They now do a breakfast menu at the weekend, which I'm super-keen to try!
Good food. Good people, mostly. Good variety and they make pastas so I love them anyway. But this place makes some kick-ass desserts so go just for that.
When my friend told me she's taking us to Olive Garden, I thought straight away of the American chain Italian restaurant. But what can I not say about this place. On walking there it just had this lovely home-y look about it. Inside was cosy and empty when we got there for about 18:30 (I think).
Now, I have not been a fan of restaurant Italian food because it always tastes like tomato and pasta which I am not fond of. So I had my reservations.
We actually went here on a recommendation from my friend's work colleague. She has been going to this restaurant for the past 10 years!!
Our waitress was lovely and took our order. Did I mention that by the time we got there, we were so hungry! We ordered our starters. I got pizza dough garlic bread with rosemary (I love garlic!), my other friend got calamari fritti and the other bread and olives. We all enjoyed our started and the olives were delicious. The calamari wasn't to my friend's tasting (She expected it to be seasoned like another restaurant) but upon squeezing the lemon juice on it she enjoyed it.
For mains we all got pastas. I got trofie alla siciliana, my friends both ordered the spaghetti marinara but one swapped chilli sauce for the white wine sauce. Oh yes, one of my friends wanted linguine but the waitress said they rarely have linguine (is that odd for an Italian restaurant? I don't know).
Well, we waited so patiently.. For three hungry girls for our food. Watching plates go to other tables, we even asked for the dessert menu whilst waiting as we were soo hungry! Eventually our food came all at the same time and I looked suspiciously at mine thinking, 'another tomato and pasta dish'. But lo and behold to my surprise, it was full of flavour!! The sauce was delicious! The ticket went extremely well with the pasta and sauce. I had feta on top but I am not a fan so I put it aside. The portion size was amazing. I lapped up that pasta and my stomach was well pleased.
My friends also enjoyed their dishes. The seafood was to their liking and they loved the flavours too. We were really surprised at how yummy the food was.
I definitely will be coming back regardless of the distance from me. Such a lovely restaurant. Oh and maybe 30 minutes after we arrived it was probably half full!
Me and my family we are regular customers in Olive Garden and it is our favourite place to go if we are hungry and fancy nice food. We absolutely love the food, service and atmosphere. I have just read the last review and I was very surprised. I cant believe taht someone was unhappy with food. It never happened to us. I can truly recommend Olive Garden it is very nice and familiar restaurant with good prices and very helpful waiting staff.
Entered as a walk in on a Friday around 2100 but staff were still happy to serve. Spaghetti carbonara was delicious and very fast service (reasonable price at £11). Moretti on tap too. Very nice staff and feels authentic inside.
Food was yummy and service was so fast! Not to mention the servers are very friendly and kind. Only thing is the place was quite hot last time I went and I would love it if they could provide some lactose free, vegan options of pizzas for people who can’t have regular cheese like me :)
Never disappoints!
Pizzas, pastas, desserts, starters - all that we have been trying is handmade and great quality!
Fresh ingredients, very tasty
We definitely recommend this place, dine in or delivery
5 stars :')
