In Short
Established in 1982, this chain gained a following for its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions. Patrons settle into comfortable booths and tables in dining rooms with plants, artwork and décor reminiscient of the villas in the Tuscan countryside. Starters include scampi, sausage or pepperoni pizza, and several soup choices, as well as a signature seafood dip (crab, shrimp, cheese and marinara). Entrees include classics like lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana. There are also "Garden Fare" options, which promise 30 percent fewer calories.

I have been to a lot of Olive Gardens before, who hasn't, I have even been to this particular one before. Must have been a bad day for the place because, they were out of everything and so I was left to order a sampler appetizer for lunch. Stay away from the server, "Giovanni". He even messed up the salad, pretty bad, huh? Not as bad as his excuses for why my appetizer was taking so long. He did do a good job in one area, avoiding my table as 30 mins went by waiting for my meal. By the time I was fed up in waiting for my order, he said he was going to see what he could do about the bill, he said he took care of my check by not charging me for food that I never received. The guy didn't comp any of the other meals on my check, not even my soda. If that wasn't bad enough, I didn't see him again to pay my bill until I was upfront complaining to the manager. I hope it was his first week on the job, otherwise not a good Olive Garden location for service. Your better off walking across the street to the restaurant that rhymes with "Looters" for some chicken wings!
Pros: poor service
Cons: poor service

After working in the restaurant business for a few years now, and working at this particular Olive Garden in Sacramento, I would not recommend it. There is a reason why this particular Olive Garden has a ridiculously high turn over rate; management. How can a restaurant run smoothly when the kitchen staff are all illegal immigrants from Mexico and cannot speak English? It is also difficult to have motivation to work as an employee when your boss does not care about you and does not have any type of loyalty to the employee.
Pros: too many to list
Cons: none
