Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Great place for family gatherings, excellent food and outstanding service, out server Jeimi was very courteous and friendly. Men’s restroom fixtures need a little of care.

Olive Garden is my granddaughters favorite birthday restaurant and we go every year for her birthday and for several other occasions as well. The decor and ambiance is so nice and family style plus the food is absolutely delicious! I especially love the taste of the marinara sauce it's so different than an average Italian restaurant I could drink it like it's a soup! The employees are very nice and kind and easy to talk with. As I said the feeling of having lunch or dinner there is very homey and comfortable and the decorations and fireplaces makes it extra warm a cozy to make you come back over and over. 5 Stars!!!

Our waiter was great and the food didn't take that long to come out. There was no wait time to get seated . We ordered soup and salad which was delicious along with the Chicken Parm. I also had cappuccino which was really amazing 🤩 .
It’s always consistently good and the waiting staff is friendly… it’s at a busy location so this time we were lucky, sometimes they tell you there is a wait time but it’s never extremely long… more like 35 mins I come here maybe twice a month. Salad is great pasta is great and the appetizers are excellent so I definitely recommend this one over the next closest one.

I had never been to an Olive Garden before and was quite skeptical. However, I had a wonderful experience the breadsticks are unbelievable and the Alfedo sauce was very good. We will be back for sure.

One of the best Olive Garden restaurants we’ve been to! The food was served with the perfect timing, everyone’s dinner came out as ordered and everything was delicious. The service was perfect because we never had to ask for anything, our waiter anticipated our needs and refilled everything from drinks to soups and salad as it should be. The atmosphere was good too. Not too hot, but not cold. Music at the right volume. Tables were staggered so everyone not on top of each other. If you’re in the Poconos, you need to go here.

While lunch with my son was memorable..with the food top notch. The berry sangria was to kill for and the chocolate dessert well recommended. The highlight of the visit was the server. We had lunch on the 16th of May about 2:00pm. I believe her name was Danielle. She was very knowledgeable on the menu, offering great choices of entres. She was very attentive, every request was executed with speed and complete. At the end of our visit, she was right there, boxing up take home complete with bags and after dinner mints. She is a credit to the restaurant..Bravo Danielle.

Incredible as always and my go to place for great Italian food at a great price. Service is exceptional with a professional and pleasant staff that always greets you with a smile. AJ should be commended for his friendly disposition and attention to customer service. I like Olive Garden generally. But OG Rockaway Mall is the BEST!

I was visiting new jersey for first time and we visit this place for a family dinner, the ambient is excellent, the tables are clean and decorate the restaurant like an italian style, the servers are very attentive, respectfully and with a nice actitudes, i order an Alfredo pasta with shrimp, the sauce was really good and the pasta was cooked on his point, i enjoy the enviorment and i spend good time with my family here, i recommend for the visitors this place

Ambience at this is amazing, it had nice touch of Italy. We always love coming to Olive Garden, great place with delicious food. Never disappointed.

I recently had a meal here with my family. The service was great. I asked for 2 high chairs and the chairs and table was ready in mins. We had a server named Ana that was very kind friendly and professional. I will be coming to this Olive Garden more often. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Staying at hotel local. How great to have access to a good meal in a warm atmosphere. The service was great. Especially satisfied by the all you can drink beverages. The meals were truly tasty and arrived quick. On a rainy day in Rockaway, NJ mall area, a great place to stop and enjoy

I am absolutely impressed with how you do things. We, my family and I, always liked Olive Garden, had great experience there, great meals, but in the times like this, during a world wide quarantine, your company truly delivered. First, the young man who came, we got a call first, as instructed, then asked me where to leave the food, since I was outside to enjoy a beautiful day and asked him to just put it and step away, for my safety and his. He was professional and pleasant. Then, when I took the food in, I was amazed how smart the food was packaged. I have had other deliveries since the quarantine started,but here, they actually put items that have to go straight into the fridge into a separate bag, not just because some were cold or hot, but because those would need to be refrigerated for later use and were marked as such, with labels on each box to state what that item was. Amazing, just purely amazing experience and you can be sure, this is the company we will support as we have before, now and for future considerations when it comes to our meals. Thank you Olive Garden and the staff.

The decor was cozy and classic, felt like you're eating inside an Italian villa. The food was good quality, nice portion size. Everything tasted well seasoned and pretty fresh. Our server was attentive and friendly(and always offered freshly grated cheese)so overall a great first time at this Olive Garden.

Judging by some of the reviews, this can be hit or miss. I can say that it was a hit for us. The service and food was excellent. Pasta was exactly how I like it, the meat sauce was tasty and Meatballs were great. Always love when you get a drink refill without having to ask for it. I am usually not a chain restaurant fan, but this place came through with flying colors. I will definitely go back again soon. Great Job Olive Garden Rockaway.

Mecca was our server yesterday at the Olive Garden in Rockaway, NJ. He was the best in every way. Very accommodating for all our needs AND extremely warm and friendly. Our salads were excellent, soup superb, and my eggplant lunch special was very good. I will definitely be back!

Olive Garden is one of those places that I find myself at every once in a while. But this time the service was absolutely amazing!! We were serviced by two young servers, Riley and Courtney. I never thought I’d say this but it seems like Olive Garden might be my go to lunch spot, the service was absolutely amazing, and the breadsticks just keep on coming

Great first time experience! The food was delicious! The atmosphere was family/ kid friendly!

Our grandson‘s birthday was December 21 and while we were both a little under the weather with a flu bug we didn’t want to get him sick so today was his day and we went shopping at the Rockaway Mall and Rockaway NJ and we asked him where to go to lunch and he immediately said Olive Garden I love the steak and I gotta tell you he was right on target. He and I both had the 6 ounce fillet And it was amazing. Cut of steak cooked perfect perfect seasoning and the service was amazing. I don’t care what you think about chain s or so
Liar Restaurants but Olive Garden just does a great job.

We celebrated my son's birthday and the food was amazing.. staff was super friendly

Very clean, and the staff is exceptionally polite and quick to go above and beyond for their customers. The food is very yummy, also.
