OLIVE GARDEN ITALIAN RESTAURANT CALGARY REVIEWS

The waiter we had tonight was spectacular, and the first person during our trip to ask about allergies or food limitations prior to asking if we were ready to order. He was attentive to our table needs and always quick with everything even though he had other tables to attend. Just nice to get a full service during our trip.

Olive Garden is our go to for all your Italian food cravings, we have enjoyed their quality of food and atmosphere every time we are here. We tried their Chicken and Shrimp Ravioli on meat sauce, Baked Salmon fillet plate with Minestrone soup and Caesar salad.

A must stop if you are visiting Calgary. Tasty pasta…. Unlimited soup and or salad and breadsticks.

MERCATO REVIEWS

We enjoyed a beautiful meal on the patio last evening. The service was excellent; attentive and well informed. We absolutely loved the caprese salad and both enjoyed our linguine and papardelle pasta selection.

A staple for me, always great service and atmosphere but best of all is the food, I stick to my usual, Bruschetta, Caprese, tagliatelle and bistecca and end the dinner with the best Tiramisu and espresso.

First time experience Food was great, caprese and papardelle, plates were being changed on time at first, but then when the main dishes: bistecca, pollo and ippoglosso were next to be served, we had to wait almost an hour to the point where other tables that came after us were getting served first.
