Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Marion (IL)

5 /5 Gilbert Donna (Mrs G): 05/03/2025 Our food and service were amazing. We had a very short wait to be seated. Waitress quickly took our drink orders and returned with them promptly. Our orders taken, very reasonable wait time on the food. The food was hot and very well presented. Everything was cooked to perfection. The waitress checked several times to see if theres anything we needed. Its one of the best Olive Gardens we have been to. Definitely look forward to returning

5 /5 Brian Miller: This was a nice new location. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the interior was quiet and comfortable. We all had the endless soup, salad, and breadsticks and it was all amazing! We all started with the chicken and gnocchi soup and it was amazing! Super hot and creamy with perfectly cooked gnocchi and chicken. I then had the zupo Tuscano, which is a spicy sausage and kale soup. I lived that one as well. As always you cant go wrong with their breadsticks and salad. Everything was perfect! We will be back on our next trip through the area.

2 /5 Tyler Tarter: We were seated quickly. However, we waited 15 minutes and no one appeared to take our drink order. I went to the front desk and told them no one has ever waited on us. The manager went to get whoever was suppose to wait on us. Then our waitress comes to take our drinks and she was quick to get them. We ordered and the salads came immediately. My girlfriend waited 30 minutes for her fettuccini alfredo. While we were still dining, our waitress complained (where we and other diners could hear her) to another waitress about having four tables and then given a five top. This is extremely unprofessional and the service got worse. It took longer to get refills on drinks and salad. It appears that additional training is needed for waitresses who voice their displeasure on some issue where diners can hear. We didnt appreciate her attitude and it ruined our lunch date (first one of the new year).

5 /5 Don Hall: The service was fantastic as well as the food. Has the fettuccine Alfredo and the Taste of Italy combination. Both were great. This is a newer Olive Garden and was much better laid out than older ones. The only improvement I could suggest is to improve people flow at the entrance. We had put our name in online and when we got there at 5 we could hardly get to the hostess stand. Once they told us we had a table we had a hard time weaving through people waiting to get a table. Foyer holding area needed to be larger.
