Olive Garden Carson City Incline Village

I had the Chicken Marsala here with a bowl of Toscana Zuppa (Soup and it was fabulous! First time I had Chicken Marsala in a long time (since I last made some at home and very much enjoyed my meal. The chicken was moist and thickly cut. It was exactly as I remembered it from the last time I had it at an Olive Garden over in Austin, Texas. That means that the chain keeps the food quality consistent between locations (at least as far as I've been able to tell . They made my requested substitute without any protest. It normally comes with Alfredo and I requested instead some spaghetti pasta with some more of the Marsala sauce on it. The bread sticks were delicious, particularly when enjoyed with the zuppa. Their Toscana Zuppa didn't have as much Kale as I'd have wanted, at least in the bowl I got, but it was delicious and satisfied my craving for that flavor. I made the stuff at home, but sometimes it's good to go to the source and enjoy the recipe that inspired copycat recipes galore on the internet. My drink was a lemonata (sp? . I worried that it might be alcoholic due to how it looks, but it wasn't. I very much enjoyed the seltzer mixed with the passion fruit and hmm... I forget the other fruit that was in the drink, but it was delicious, nonetheless. The service was stellar. I got a very friendly waitress, who checked on me around seven times, confirming quality of food, replacing the drink for me once, and showing me how to make use of the machine on the table that can take your payment. The front slot is NOT for your credit card!!! The correct slot is hidden on the right side and behind. It's not obvious at a glance, but for those who don't notice that detail, this hopefully will help a reader to avoid a slightly embarrassing incident. XD

First time experience at Olive Garden Service 5/5 Food 3/5 Price 2/5 Seating and cleanliness 4/5 Service was absolutely great. We were a large group of 11. But the waitress was very patient, took time to explain everything and was very cheerful. Food and price were a bummer. All Pasta dishes were undercooked. One was severely undercooked and we had to send it back. Chicken Marsala was dry. Appetizers, on the other hand, were all stellar. They do offer to add more cheese on everything, which was very interesting. Price was on the higher end. The price was not justified for the quality and taste of food.

The service from our waitress was fantastic. However the food was lacking in quality taste. Very obvious the soup came out of a bag and wasn?t seasoned very well. Got two bowls of soup each came out Luke warm!! Not to mention the HAIR I found in one bowl! Also the manager Jeff needs to go through so serious training. Extremely rude to customers and staff in front of the entire restaurant. Yelled at staff and tried to make us feel incompetent about a problem we had and proceeded to tell us not to come back? never eat here?

Love the food as always... I wish they would tone down the garlic on everything lol????. Had a customer server issue but , the lady at checkout up front made it right and more without even asking. JUST because of her obvious excellent customer satifaction experience in her field I WILL come back. Thank you good lady.

It seems like Olive Garden has increased the salt content of all their food over the years, but you still can't beat the service and atmosphere for basic Italian food.
