Olive Garden Italian Restaurant, Inverness FL

We have always liked the good old OG, but haven't been in more than 2 years. Had some good bread sticks, salads, soups, and entrees. Everything is as we remember, but the menu had less options than I remember. We added a dipping sauce for the bread sticks for 4 bucks - not totally sure that was worth it, but I enjoyed it. Our server, Alyssa, was polite and nice. I would be more likely to return if they run specials again - all you can eat pasta, buy one take one home for free, etc.

We were there taking my Granddaughter out to dinner for her birthday. The waitress we had was fantastic. She went above and beyond for us (and had no idea why we were really there) the food was great, came to us fast and we had an all around terrific time! At the end I informed her we would not be taking desert but that my Granddaughter would be because it was her birthday and she'd have it to go. When the waitress came back she had 3 others with her and presented my granddaughter with a little plate and a dollop of whipped cream with a lit candle in it and they sang Happy Birthday to her! They have no idea how great that made her day (and ours!) Because this meal was a spur of the moment thing. I had asked my Granddaughter what she was doing for her birthday as I wanted to drop her gift off but she said she would be working and it was like any other day to her. She had been very depressed the last few weeks and just having a hard time. Being 16 going on 17 is a rough period in a young woman's life, I remember when I was that age! I took her out to eat as a small token to show her its not just any other day, she's much to young to be so sad and I hadn't been out with her for years. Her grandfather and her uncle who is a year younger than her joined us and we laughed hard and just had the best time. That waitress really put the cherry on top doing what she did and I will always be grateful to her for doing so! So if your ever in Inverness stop in for lunch or dinner, the portions are more than enough, its been great tasting and each time I go there is better than the last! Thanks so much!

Food was bland, and overpriced.
58.00 was a stretch for stale breadsticks, small slice of ravioli, mozzarella sticks, and fettuccine.thank God, we had a drink!
Still tipped the waitress 22 %.

Words with my first time Inverness Olive Garden everything outside of the salad and breadsticks but my soup was nasty my eggplant parm and spaghetti with nasty my husband had the tour of Italy and that was about nasty the soup tasted like it had a burnt to it do did the spaghetti sauce I know all the stuff that had spaghetti sauce I was very very disappointed for an Olive Garden but I shouldn't have been that disappointed due to it was Circus County also known as Citrus County

Waitress was outstanding the food was incredible I was very impressed with all of goings I will go back there again it was awesome

My husband took me here for dinner tonight and we both agreed that our experience was very, let's say, mediocre at best. The prices compared to the portions were a bit ridiculous. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and neither one of us took more than one bite. It was pretty much unappetizing. For our main course we both got the soup, salad and bread sticks. The salad was good, bread sticks as well, but the soups were again, mediocre and came in very small portions. Maybe a cup a piece. Our bill was over $50, we got charged $2 for some game that was already in progress on the little table tablet. I'd have to say the best part of the experience was the mudslides that we ordered before we ate. There isn't much of a selection anymore, Olive Garden isn't what it used to be.

I love their Alfredo sauce so much! Their recipe is the best around. The soups are delicious as well. I just wish it didn't cost extra to substitute Alfredo sauce if you don't like marinara or meat sauce.
