Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Love being here specially for their chicken soup and hot breads. Service is great as always and we love the food. Kids enjoy as well. Ambience is very cozy and laid back which is relaxing. I like it. I used to love their spicy chicken tenders (don't remember the exact name) but they removed it from menu :(
Anyways, I'll always come back when I'm around. Cheers.

Great servings of awesome Italian food, it's not fine dining but it's tasty and predictable. The chicken gnocchi soup is delicious and I love the breadsticks.
The service staff at Milpitas were super attentive. Loved the mint chocolate they gave us at the end.

We live in Milpitas and rarely go to Olive Garden, but when we do, it doesn't disappoint.

We were a party of 3 and was seated immediately (large parties may have to wait a little longer but there are chairs inside and outside for waiting).

Great service from Alan, he was calm and very welcoming. He never once made us feel rushed when taking orders and checked in with us frequently. He made great suggestions when we had questions about the sides.

Food was delicious but we may have gotten full too soon with the soup sides and the unlimited garlic bread sticks (one of the main highlights of Olive Gardens).

Alan's shift ended and Andrew came over with the same great service. He got us takeout boxes and even a pack of garlic bread to go.

Over all my family enjoyed eating here, if you plan on bringing a group of 4+ make sure you come early, by the time we finished around 4:30 most of the empty seats were full.

My recent dining experience at Olive Garden was nothing short of fantastic! The ambiance, service, and, of course, the food, all combined to make it a memorable evening.

To start, we indulged in the Stuffed Ziti Fritters, which were a delightful fusion of crispy fried ziti filled with a gooey blend of five Italian cheeses. The contrast between the crunchy exterior and the oozing cheese inside was simply heavenly. Served with both homemade marinara and alfredo sauces, they provided a burst of flavors that left us craving more.

For the main course, the Chicken Marsala Fettuccine was a true highlight. The tender chicken sautéed with spinach and mushrooms in a creamy marsala mushroom sauce was a symphony of rich and savory tastes. Served over perfectly cooked fettuccine, it was a comforting and satisfying dish that I’ll be dreaming about for a long time.

We complemented our meal with the Italian Margarita, a delightful concoction that beautifully married the flavors of Italy with a classic cocktail. The combination of Jose Cuervo Especial Silver tequila, triple sec, and the sweet Italian liqueur, amaretto, created a unique and refreshing drink that perfectly balanced the meal.

To add a touch of sweetness to our dinner, we ordered the Raspberry Lemonade, which was a refreshing and fruity counterpart to the savory dishes. Its tartness was balanced by the sweet raspberry flavor, making it a delightful accompaniment to the entire meal.

Overall, my experience at Olive Garden was nothing short of exceptional. The quality of the food, the friendly service, and the overall Italian atmosphere made it a memorable night out. I can’t wait to return to savor more of their delicious dishes and explore their extensive menu. Olive Garden is a must-visit for anyone looking for an authentic Italian culinary experience!

I went to this restaurant with family after several years. The food options and service were great. I loved the quality of the free bread to begin with. I had to pay for the unlimited dip though. We did not like the soup but the salad was excellent. We found a few vegetarian options. We were too full and did not go for the dessert . We end up taking some leftovers to home.

Great food, awesome customer service always, they even split the Main into 2 serves for us to share. Amazed by the unlimited breadsticks, salad & soups too. Cozy family resto as well. Cheers Olive Garden Team Milpitas. 😊

Absolutely loved this place! Phenomenal location, great food, cozy vibes. Our waiter was very sweet! They checked on us very frequently and brought out fresh bread as ours ran out. We got their lunch special and it was insane how much food we got for such little amount ($25 for two people!!!!!) I got their unlimited salad with pasta with meat sauce, and my partner got their unlimited soup with eggplant parmesan. Their lunch sizes are pretty huge as well so we were very full by the time we left! I definitely recommend this place, and can't wait to go back again :D

We got pasta with a side of soup. For the appetizer we had spinach artichoke dip, it was delicious. I got veg make your own pasta with creamy mushroom sauce and some veggies. And my husband got the chicken meatball pasta. Both were good. The soup was good too and unlimited. I also got raspberry lemonade which I didn't like much as it was very sweet. But the service was nice and we enjoyed having dinner there.

This place is pretty busy, but you can always find space at the bar. They were very attentive, friendly, and professional. The tortellini was amazing! The drinks were very perfect, and the bar tender was great. I will definitely come back here.

Loved the vibe of this place. Cozy… Their freshly made breadsticks are one of the best I’ve ever had. We ordered their Eggplant Parmesan with unlimited breadsticks and unlimited soup. It was sufficient for two! Loved it.

At Olive Garden you know what you're going to get, and this Olive Garden does a good job of meeting expectations. We were really impressed with our server, Padeeza (might have messed up the spelling.) It's a mammoth task refilling soup and bread sticks and keeping waters and drinks topped off. She was pleasant and efficient. It was crowded in the day of our visit but we never felt neglected or rushed. The manager walked around and probably asked us at least three times how it was going and if we needed anything. Wish we lived closer so we could frequent this location.

It’s nice they have soup and breadsticks added to some of the meals.

I got some pasta with chicken, and it was good. Because of aforementioned freebies an average person probably cannot finish such generous portions as they provide in one go. Both me and my friends have to pack leftovers to take home.

Definitely nice rate of calories return per your buck.

Just to be clear, this five-star is for the server MacKenzie & great food. Not so the Hostess (1-star), who was to assigned us a booth requested, but lied instead. Also - kept us waiting almost 15mins when there was clearly no other queue in front of us, and there were plenty of tables/booths available.

Kenzie was very professional, unflappable, courteous and ever smiling whenever she served our food. The appetisers & lunch entrees ordered came out hot & cooked just right, grated cheese on top was a generous touch (Romano, according to Kenzie). My minestrone soup was chockfull of ingredients & flavorful, the salad my dining guests had was crunchy & satisfying till the last leaf.

We had no room for desserts, but my cappuccino was a bit deflated (it was left too long on counter & not served right away after being made), but it still tasted right.
We had a couple of take-away specials which Kenzie packed carefully for it to sustain the few hours journey home.

Must have new management because the whole place has improved since the last time i was there. All around much better. We waited for an hr but was worth it. Family of 6 so we have grown to be patient.

We were there last weekend. We love coming to Olive Garden. There was a ten minute wait and we were seated immediately after. The service was very good and all the food we tried were good too. Loved the new item on the menu shrimp fritto misto.

Went to Oliver Garden today 1/19/24 and Belquis was amazing. Her customer service was outstanding, she made sure our party had everything we needed. She is very nice, bubbly and professional. Belquis is the reason we will be back to this location.

Olive Garden can be a very pleasant surprise if you know what to order. We stayed with starters only and had a wonderful dinner experience at a very good price. Their nrw shrimp basket is excellent. Soup and salad order is enough for two to share and spinach dip makes you completely full (and if you know how real italian pasta tastes, you would not order pasta there anyway🙂).

The lunch deals (from 11am to 3pm) are excellent value as they give you unlimited soup/salad and breadsticks for an entrée around the $11-13 price point and still gives you a solid portion and possibly enough for whole another meal with the amount of leftovers.

You don't come to Olive Garden for the best Italian food, but you really can not go wrong with as many garlicky breadsticks as you cans stuff yourself with at a solid price with as much good soup or salad as you'd want.

If you order soup you can pick a different soup out of the 4 options each time you get some more, so you can have a good variety of different flavors in one visit. They all pair excellently with breadsticks as well.

Out of the lunch specials, the Eggplant Parmigiana would by my recommendation since you also get a good helping of spaghetti on the side.

Service was excellent, went for lunch on a weekday, so was seated immediately. Our server quickly asked to bring out more soup and breadsticks whenever we ran out.

Nice Italian restaurant with tasty food and fast service.
Waiting time was not so bad for Saturday evening (host estimated it for 35 minutes, but was actually 15 or so).
The place is clean and well maintained, food is prepared fast enough and is fresh and tasty.
Activity sheets for kids are good.
One of the great things are the terminals on each table that allow you to pay without waiting for waiter.
