Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

Visited Olive Garden at 380 17th Ave NW in Rochester and had a very pleasant experience. The location is convenient—just off Miracle Mile Mall and close to several hotels, which made it easy for us to drop in after errands . The restaurant exudes casual, family-friendly charm with a clean, relaxed dining area that felt inviting. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated promptly around lunchtime. Service remained attentive throughout—even when it got busier. We enjoyed the famous never-ending breadsticks along with house salad and soup. The salad was fresh and crisp, and the soups were warm and flavorful . For entrees, I chose the Chicken Parmigiana and my daughter enjoyed the Fettuccine Alfredo - both generous portions and classic preparations that hit the spot. It's a solid choice for groups and families. Prices are reasonable (most entrées under $30) and there are gluten-free pasta options if anyone in your party needs dietary accommodations. Overall, it offered good value, tasty comfort food, and service that kept an upbeat pace. Highly recommend this Olive Garden location for a casual Italian meal in Rochester - especially if you're craving warm breadsticks and a cozy dining atmosphere.

I had the gluten-free pasta it was so good. Texture, taste We're wonderful. Highly recommend.

Our waitress was awesome. The food was great. They can accommodate gluten-free allergies. The one down side, it was my birthday, and you get a free dessert. However, they had no gluten-free dessert.
