Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - (Near Stockton, CA)

3 /5 Stu Pidasso: First of all the staff needs to hold their BS conversations out of ear reach & out of site of customers. The gnocchi soup only has 2 gnocchi in it & very little chicken. Has the Chicken Alfredo….Chicken was great, Alfredo sauce was good but needed more flavor. Steak was also tasty. All in all not one of my “go to” choices of places to eat

3 /5 Lizette Figueroa: I wanted to share feedback regarding a recent visit. I ordered a garden salad to-go, but unfortunately, the salad appeared old when I checked it in the parking lot. I returned to the store, and the employee who assisted me was very polite and helpful, even offering me a drink, which I appreciated (though I declined). My intention in returning was simply to correct the mistake and to encourage extra attention when checking packaged items before handing them to customers. I value your service and hope this helps improve the experience for everyone. Thank you for your time and for the great customer service during the correction.

2 /5 corvettes Recent: Update: Friday, December 19, 2025 PM Usually OG hits it out of the ballpark. Tonight was the worst take-out meal I’ve ever had from there. My son picked up dinner. I ordered the chicken and spaghetti with meat sauce. The sauce was nonexistent… Look at the photos! SMH DO NOT ORDER THE CHICKEN PARMIGIANA‼️‼️ It’s a soggy mess by the time you get home. Yes, cafeteria type food. I ate half of one patty and threw the rest in the garbage‼️☠️ I think I’ve had the chicken quite a while back and I had the same experience with it. Maybe if you eat it at the restaurant it might be better or at least send it back if you don’t like it. I was very disappointed tonight OG, you can do better‼️‼️ ———————— Update: Saturday, July 12, 2025 PM Usually we have a good experience here. Not so tonight. Our server was overloaded serving a table of 16 so the first part of our meal service was kind of spotty. Not really her fault. A matter of staffing by the restaurant probably. We started with a fried mozzarella appetizer. I specifically asked that it be cooked to order. Although it came out very hot including the plate, it was not cooked to order. It was heated up to order probably under the broiler since everything was hot including the plate‼️ We ordered our meals. Opted for the chicken gnocchi soup. It took forever to get our soup. Something about the kitchen had to make a new batch. Poor management. On a Saturday night and we have to wait for them to make a new batch of soup?? The breadsticks… half were fresh and half were not! My son and I both ordered the cheese raviolis with Alfredo sauce. Even though that we paid $2.50 each for extra sauce it was very sparse leaving the raviolis on the dry side. We had to ask for more Alfredo sauce to pour on top. They must have new cooks because we’ve never had that problem before. Service was better towards the end of our meal after our server was finished serving that large party. A manager in a white shirt was wandering around the restaurant but he never came down our aisle. He probably would’ve heard all of the above if he did! It was my son’s birthday. We celebrated with complementary cheesecake and the crew singing happy birthday. Thank you OG for that! I am pretty disappointed and surprised that Olive Garden failed us this time. ————————— UPDATE: Wednesday, March 26, 2025 PM Five stars all the way around! This is a mid-priced restaurant chain. But we’ve always had good luck. Tonight was no different. DEBBIE was our server. We’ve had her two or three times before. Excellent‼️ The food was good and in the service, perfect. We were visited by the main manager… I didn’t get his name and by Diana, the assistant manager. They were both very concerned about how we liked our meal. It’s quite obvious they care a lot about their restaurant. OG does an excellent job of takeout also. Thanks, DEBBIE for making this a perfect evening ____________ UPDATE: Thursday, September 28, 2023 PM I probably would not submit an update since our dinner was definitely five stars again. But I had to since our server, Debbie, hit it out of the ballpark and turned that five stars into 10 stars. Kudos to Debbie! I had the all you can eat spaghetti with meat sauce and a side of salmon. My son had the cheese raviolis with Alfredo sauce. —————————- Update: Friday, September 1, 2023 Dinner Excellent all the way around tonight. A big part of that would be our server Georgie! He did an excellent job of refilling our soups and beverages and stopped by to check in on us a few times. Kudos, Georgie! Give him a raise! The manager even stop by at our table to talk to us. Very personable guy. He’s doing a good job. We usually have a good experience here. Tonight, the food was very good. I ordered the herb-grilled salmon with angel hair pasta with butter sauce. Excellent. My son ordered the cheese raviolis with Alfredo sauce. He was very happy with his dinner. They also offered the take home an entrée for six dollars. I chose spaghetti with meat sauce. Haven’t tasted it yet but I’m looking forward to it. We will be back!!

5 /5 Randy Whitaker: We had an absolutely wonderful experience August 23rd at the Olive Garden in Stockton! From the moment we walked in, everything felt warm and welcoming, but what truly made our visit outstanding was our server, Jennifer. Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was perfect. She was attentive without being intrusive, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations. Every detail was handled with genuine care—from keeping our drinks full to making sure our food came out just right. Her positive attitude and professionalism set the tone for the entire evening. It’s rare to find someone who delivers this level of exceptional service, and Jennifer made us feel like valued guests from start to finish. Olive Garden Stockton is lucky to have her, and I will definitely be returning because of the amazing service she provided. Highly recommend both this location and especially Jennifer if you want an unforgettable dining experience!

4 /5 Lizz E: The food was much better at this location the pasta fazool looked like it should. I had been to another location in Vacaville and I actually asked what it was. Breadsticks for hot and fresh and ready to go at the Stockton location. Waitress was friendly and nice atmosphere was same old same old
