  Never ending pasta bowl. We went to the Olive Garden in Virginia Beach on Sept 24 for the Never Ending Pasta Bowl. The food was outstanding except that we were told there are no refills on the orange juice and pineapple juice (there always was in years past). The server his name was David made a rude comment after I had three bowls of the pasta and two bowls of the pasta fagioli soup he basically told me I needed a wheelchair because I ate way too much. He didn’t even offer the complimentary Monte at the end of the meal. I have the Never ending pasta bowl every year and usually have three bowls of soup to go with the three bowls of pasta. Because I was suffering from acute bronchitis I only had two bowls of soup this time. I wonder what kind of rude comment David would have made if I had the usual. I guess I’ll never find out because I am going to the Olive Garden at Janaf from now on.

  No take out. Make sure you check every item if you order to go. They specifically told me they wouldn’t go through every item, but sure enough I got home and one item I paid for wasn’t there. I called back, but the best they could say was I could drive back and get it, as if I’d leave our meal at home to drive back for one item.Waste of time. It wasn’t even busy, but they managed to ruin a meal that wasn’t exactly inexpensive.

  Here on a Wednesday, busier than usual so I expected a bit of a delay. We ordered our appetizer (Brushetta), the bread came out not so toasted. Then we see the people that were seated 15 minutes after we placed our entree order get their food. WTH?? Server goes to get our food and it’s COLD!!!! If I wanted cold food to reheat I would go to the supermarket and buy a frozen entree!! Our server was great, but the service received otherwise was SORRY as H*ll!!! I WILL NOT return nor will I recommend!!!

  Quality Catering. I am not a huge fan of Olive Garden these days. Dining there for many years, I have come to terms with there just being better Italian restaurants in the area. However, I was fortunate enough to attend a recent Holiday Party that Olive Garden had catered for. I was fortunate for this gave me an opportunity to try many menu items . . . Albeit; they weren’t fresh from the kitchen. For appetizers, I really enjoyed the Toasted Pork/Beef Ravioli & the Bruschetta. The Stuffed Mushrooms had a good taste as well, but for them not being as fresh as they could have been, they became a bit soggy. Also, they supplied plenty of Salad & Breadsticks which were all good. What I was really impressed with is the amount of dressings & croutons they provided (separately) for us to add to the salad. They didn’t skimp, which would have been easy to do.From the dinner menu, the Chicken Marsala was awesome & provided an ample amount of mushrooms. We also had Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna Classico & Fettuccine Alfredo. All kept their form & satisfied many. Though my favorite that evening was the Chicken Marsala, the Lasagna was a close second. Though I probably won’t dine at Olive Garden as a first choice in the near future, I was impressed & surprised on this evening. I never would have thought that catering from them would turn out so well. In supplying food for more than 40 people, they did a very good job & are worthy of catering an event that I may host in the future. I know the experience this night will translate into quality dining in their restaurant, and this proves why they’re such a main stay across the country.
