Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

My husband and I get takeout here often and the food is always great. Tonight, however, 4/29 it was the best yet. Everything is on point!

My friend had Rigatoni with Meatballs and salad. I had Chicken and Gnocchi soup, which was excellent. I had Lasagna Classico with meat sauce. All of the food was excellent. We couldn't eat everything and had to take leftovers home. Very nice "fireplace" for atmosphere.

We’ve always enjoyed dining in at this location, but they did an especially fantastic job with the large catering order we recently placed. The food was delicious, on-time, thoughtfully packaged, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend using the Elkton Olive Garden for any catering needs!

They are fantastic! Today we went to celebrate our daughter’s birthday 🥳 in this location of Olive Garden restaurant. Our overall experience was great 👍. Our server Kristine, who took care of us was the best. She explained the menu nicely and helped to pick. It was a very beautiful experience for all of us. The interior was nice and clean. Food was delicious and nicely decorated. We enjoyed every bit of the whole meal. It was a outstanding experience! A five star experience indeed!

Great lunch special. salad, bread sticks Lasagna was delicious. My husband had eggplant parmesan. It was my birthday and I received a free desert notification in my email as a subscriber.

Today was amazing! The shrimp wasn't to salty, the cheese mixed in the maranara sauce very well, and the mozzarela sticks were delicious! Our waitress Sarah was very friendly to us, and the rest of the staff were very friendly as well. I'll be coming back next time. :)

Food is consistently fantastic at this location. Service was super fast and very friendly.

Latest review Feb 2024
I again upped my review to 5 stars. This latest visit cancelled my previous poor review and re-established my 5* rating of years ago. The fettuccini alfredo has become a favorite. I wish I had gotten the name of the waitress...very pleasant and great/attentive service. The salad was terrific as usual but the tomatoes tasted as good as those grown in the garden in the summer.

PAST REVIEWS:
I gave Olive Garden at this location 5*'s three years ago. Have been back many times since. Tonight I deleted that review!
Tonight at 8:30pm 12/31/23 I arrived and was promptly seated.
The place was COLD! Everyone around me seated was wearing a jacket ! Did you not pay for heat?
It was only 36 degrees outside, no wind.
Is this place going down hill?
I am not prone to being cold. This was ridiculous. I left!
What a great way to end the year!

Management please comment/reply!

Prior to this at least 3 years ago I had given OG 5*'s

We and friends stopped by on a Sunday evening. We were seated promptly, our service was wonderful and the food was very good. Sometimes you just need a change of pace. We were pleasantly surprised!

Was served by Jill this was the absolute best experience and food I have had at any Olive Garden and I go often!
I would absolutely recommend this location, ask for Jill, to anyone it’s just great!
Jill was busy and still made time to be energetic and knowledgeable about any questions I had!
Bottom line come eat at this Olive Garden you will be happy you did!!!

Veterans eat free on Veterans Day! FANTASTIC!

Always like this restaurant for reasonable prices and the lasagna is exceptional!

Much larger portions too; however weekday lunch specials are very well priced with smaller portions on the mains...but...you would pay more at a fast food place for much lower quality food....so take a few more mins and enjoy the service!

!Service was fast around 1130am...no waiting withsoever. The wait staff is fantastic too. I always get the soup or salad which is so yummy and fills me up!!!

Olive Garden offers a soup and salad combination for both lunch and dinner. The soups are homemade, the salads are fresh, and the warm breadsticks are delicious. You can see from my empty plates that I am a fan of Olive Garden, Route 40, Elkton, MD ❤

Salad, bread sticks and pasta always hit the spot. Cocktails were delicious especially the sangria

Everything was great! Great food! Great service! Crystal, our waitress was awesome! The Tour of Italy and Chicken Marseille Fettuccini was delicious! Crystal and the supervisor, came over to ask how everything was!! Dinner portions were big. We both brought half our dinners home and of course, our desserts...Black Tie Mouse Cake and Chocolate Brownie Lasagna! My wfe got her dessert free for her birthday! Thank you Crystal and Olive Garden for making my wife's birthday a awesome experience! God bless!

After a 60 mile bike ride from Balitmore the Olive Garden was so welcome and could not beat the pasta and warm fireplace.

Made reservations for a young couple and family to eat after performing their civil ceremony. Very accommodating and friendly staff

Love love love Olive Garden. Good food and great service

Stopped in for dinner Saturday night and was seated in the bar area. The place has a friendly atmosphere and ample hosts. Seconds after being seated, our server, Cody greeted us with a smile and took out drink order. We asked if there were any new additions to the menu and he was right on top of offering us a good amount of suggestions. While we looked over the menu, he made and delivered our drinks. The watermelon drink was yummy. I tried the new meatball manicotti and my husband ordered the chicken and shrimp carbonara.. both were hearty and delicious. The meatball had to be over a 1/2 lb. Of ground beef...i couldn't finish the meal, even with my husband trying some. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures, and both meals were photo worthy. Cody was easily the best waiter we've had and too add to our expressiveness, he's actually the bartender too. He never skipped a beat though. We saw 2 tables seated and 2 couples seated themselves at the bar after us and he moved like a well oiled machine taking care of everyone. A+++ experience all around. Make sure to ask for Cody next time you dine there, you won't be disappointed.

The food was great here. The waitress was very nice and patient with us even when we had a gift card issue! As someone with an allergy to shellfish, which they serve, my waitress was very good to let me know safe items to order to be sure to minimize my chances of any cross contamination and to ensure the cook was aware of my allergy. Thank you for this great restaurant experience and continue your great service and hospitality!

Food was delicious the plating was really good and had a very rustic vineyard atmosphere
