Olive Garden Duluth, Minnesota

I am usually not one to love chain restaurants and can say that I have not been in this olive garden in 6 years. That means we got a gift card and decided to go tonight. We had a surprisingly fabulous experience that pushed us away. Logan was our server and his customer service capabilities were exceptional. The food was also delicious. We'll return happy.

The staff wore masks but we could hear smiles in their voices! The food was prepared quickly and tasted wonderful! The long island iced tea was delicious We ordered desserts to go and the staff boxed up our leftovers swiftly. Excellent as always!

As always super good! I'll always crave their gnocchi soup. The service was wonderful the food was perfect. UPDATE Ordered a gallon of chicken gnocchi soup. Put it in the back WE forgot to close the back end to our Jeep. There went all the soup on the road. We went back after calling within MINUTES they gave us a replacement NO CHARGE! This is 100% above beyond. Will recommend to everyone. However the seagulls and ravens got a free meal.

Went with 4 adults, all ordered something different and got an appetizer and dessert. For an appetizer we got the parmesan metal balls, there were big bread crumbs and melted cheese on top. Everyone enjoyed them, but there were a little under seasoned. 7.5/10 still a solid appetizer. (there's only one in the photo.. You get 5. We were hungry x.x The garden salad was a 7/10, some people liked it more than others but everyone got at least 2 bowls worth so I'd say it was a hit. The bread was also pretty solid, but maybe a little over cooked as once they cooled off a bit they were a bit hard. It's hard to give free salty, buttery, bread a low score, especially when they bring it out still warm. If give them a 7/10 as well. The chicken Alfredo is a 8/10, very cheesy and planty of chicken. The sauce and pasta may have been a bit thick for some but we prefer it that way. Chicken gnocchi soup was rich and creamy, 7.5/10 maybe a little under seasoned. The spaghetti and meat balls was a solid 8/10. Very saucy and flavorful. The steak and Alfredo sauce was really good. The Alfredo sauce like mentioned before might be a little dry for some but I prefer it that way. Very saucy, and thick. The steak unfortunately was a little undercooked for my liking (ordered a well done and got a medium rare they cooked me a whole new order of steak with a side of Alfredo sauce. I ate it all, slightly punishing but it was too good to waste. Not only did they replace the while meal they comped the meal, amazing customer service! The second steak I got was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. For dessert we got itilian donuts with a chocolate raspberry sauce. They were very light and fluffy, the sauce was rich creamy and the fruity flavor came threw. It was hard to get the sauce on the icing sugar coating but after a couple dipings you get one of the best desserts I've had, I've not the best. 10/10 it's a must try if you haven't already. The atmosphere is a typical itilian American restaurant, service was superb, and the place was clean. We try to go to olive garden in Duluth at least once a trip but after this experience I'll try to convince the group to go multiple times. : Overall I'd give this place a 9/10 the management and staff are doing something right here.

Quite busy but understandably so for the rush hour and hockey weekend. The serving sizes are huge and the amount of meat in both dishes that had it was huge, too! They cut down their menu and it was the right call. Focusing on fewer dishes with more shared ingredients means that everything tastes better and has much better presentation. If you were disappointed years ago, please give this location another shot. The to-go boxes are a really great deal!
