★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Just Shy · Mar 2026

My boyfriend and I visited this location last night. We noticed that the table was very sticky and dirty. After waiting about 15 mins for a waiter to come, we placed our entire order at once. It took another 10 mins for the drinks and salad to come. After running out of salad and breadsticks, 15 mins later the appetizer came, then another 30 mins for the entrees. We noticed that parties that came in after us, were packing up their leftovers before we even received our entrees. The staff never removed any used dishes from the table, until they’d ran out of glassware in the kitchen, but only removed two out of the five cups that had piled up on the table. By the time our entrees came, we were just ready to leave. We ate about a quarter of the food then tried to wave down our waiter for to-go

★★★★★ 5.0 Nichelle M. · Mar 2026

Everything we ate was fantastic! The Tour of Italy and the Steak Gorgonzola pasta was great. Our waitress was a sweet heart i can't remember her name though. Every time i come here the food is always consistent and good!

I ordered 2 orders of Soup, salad and breadsticks at about 8:30pm last night at the Columbia Md location. Omg! I received 2 salads loaded with brown lettuce and big lettuce chunks. The minestrone soup had tons of pasta as a filler and not many veggies. This is why I usually go to the Hanover location. I can get to Hanover 15 minutes before they close and my food is Fresh. I won’t be going back to dine in Columbia Olive Garden. Do Better!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Tamara · Sep 2025

Celebrated my 48th birthday with my young men. They had the never ending pasta bowl, and I had the shrimp and chicken carbonara with broccoli added. Of course the salad and bread sticks were exceptional.
