    Yeah, Google Reviews has a 4,000-character limit. Here’s a tighter version that keeps the important details: Really disappointing experience from start to finish. This location doesn’t take reservations on weekends, only an in-person waitlist. We were told there were around 150 people waiting and it would be about 2 hours. We decided to wait, but it ended up taking over 3 hours to get a table. Once seated, we were put in a secluded corner with only a few tables, and I’m not sure if that contributed to us being forgotten, but the service was horrible. We ordered soup and breadsticks to start. The soup came, but the breadsticks didn’t come until our soup was finished. Then our first pasta bowls arrived and we didn’t even have utensils, so I had to go to the hostess myself to get some. When ordering our second bowls, I asked for more soup, which never came. When my second bowl arrived, I immediately ordered my third bowl, more breadsticks, and drink refills so the next bowl would hopefully be ready around the time I finished. It wasn’t. The drink refills didn’t even arrive until basically the end of our meal. After waiting about 15 minutes without seeing our waiter, a different waiter serving another table took another pasta order for me. About 30 minutes later, our original waiter finally came back while I was eating the bowl ordered through the other waiter. She asked where the bowl I had originally ordered from her was. I told her it never came. She said she would check and come right back, but disappeared again. Eventually I was tired of waiting and asked for the bill. The missing pasta finally arrived around the same time, approximately 50 minutes after I ordered it. By that point I had lost my appetite and didn’t even eat it. This completely defeats the purpose of the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl. You’re supposed to be able to try different combinations, but that’s difficult when you’re waiting 30 to 50 minutes between bowls. I wanted to try the shrimp but eventually just wanted to leave. The protein add-on pricing is also unnecessarily confusing. The menu lists different prices and says you can switch proteins with each bowl, but doesn’t clearly explain how subsequent proteins are charged. I asked our waiter and even she seemed confused trying to explain it. The protein portions were also tiny. The chicken was basically a few slivers per bowl. Across all my chicken bowls, I probably received around 1/2 of a chicken breast combined, which is disappointing considering the chicken add-on is $7.49. I understand restaurants get busy, but after waiting over 3 hours for a table, we then dealt with missing breadsticks, missing soup, no utensils, extremely late drink refills, long periods without our waiter, and nearly 50 minutes for one pasta refill. Overall, the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl felt like a waste of money because the service was simply too slow to actually enjoy what we came for. Very disappointing experience.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We went to Olive Garden at Vaughan Mills on Saturday, October 3, 2026, and drove all the way from Waterloo to try it. I have to say, it was definitely worth the drive and even the long wait! We had the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl and the food was easily a 10/10. Everything tasted amazing. You also get your choice of soup or salad and unlimited breadsticks, which were SO good! 🥖 Even the fountain pop was really good — probably some of the best I’ve had at a restaurant. We’ve been to The Old Spaghetti Factory before, and personally, we thought the food at Olive Garden was much better and the service was way better too. A huge shoutout to our server, Derek! He was amazing and really went above and beyond for us. He kept checking on us, made sure we had everything we needed and really took care of us throughout the entire meal. We really appreciated that. He made an already great experience even better! One thing to know before going is that reservations are very limited. They only take reservations Monday through Thursday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. There are no reservations on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays, and no reservations outside of the 11 a.m.–4 p.m. time window Monday through Thursday. We went on a Saturday and waited about two hours for a table. It was definitely a long wait, but even after driving from Waterloo and waiting that long, we still felt it was worth it and would definitely come back again. The only small issue was that the washroom had an overflowing paper-towel bin, but as soon as I mentioned it to the staff, they took care of it, which I appreciated. Overall, we had a great experience. The food was 10/10, the service was 10/10, and those unlimited breadsticks were amazing! We would absolutely make the drive from Waterloo again. Highly recommend, and another big thank you to Derek for taking such great care of us! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    We went to Olive garden on September 23, 2026 for our Nine year wedding anniversary. The plan was to take our little one to school and then go have a nice lunch together at Olive garden with enough time to get back and pick up the little one after school. We live in Stoney Creek and made the trek to Vaughan mills. My wife loves Olive garden and was excited to go now that it is back in Canada. We made sure to arrive early before they opened at 11am. Once they opened we asked if we could reserve to eat at 12pm as 11am was to early for us to eat. The hostess advise they could not take a reservation for 12pm and that we could come back at 12pm and we would be able to get a seat as they are not usually busy by that time. We ask if she was sure and she advise that if there was any wait time it would only be at most 15 mins, as they are again usually not that busy at that time. So we left and came back right at 12pm. We notice a small line of people and when we got to the hostess she advise it would be 40 mins to an hour wait time to get a seat. She also mentioned that we could do a reservation to come back??? Huh?? This was not making any sense and not what we were lead to belive when we spoke to the hostess the first time we arrived. We could not wait that long because we needed to get back home on time to pick up our son from school. I could not understand why we could not reserve for 12pm but when came back at 12pm and not able to get a seat, we could now do a reservation?? None the less this was a very disappointing experience and kind of ruined the special occasion we were celebrating together. I don't think I will be trying to eat here again based of this experience. The hostess should be very clear and certain of the information they are providing to customers. We came a long way to celebrate our anniversary at Olive Garden only to be disappointed by the service, experience and Info we received. We did not end up eating lunch, just drove all the way back home. We went to dinner somewhere else that evening with our son to at least salvage the day.

    Not the best Experience until we were served by Lindsay. We approached the front counter at Olive Garden and were greeted by three friendly staff members, one of whom was the manager. We were told the wait would be 3–4 hours, so we put our name on the waiting list and decided to do some shopping. After checking back in, we were told there was still a wait. We ended up getting a coffee at Tim Hortons while waiting. At 9pm we decided to go back to the restaurant and decided to wait. During that time, I noticed so many tables that had not been bussed. When we were finally seated, we walked through the restaurant and noticed the hostess dragging her feet while the servers were moving at an incredibly slow pace. As someone who has worked in the Food & Beverage industry, I can honestly say this restaurant could run much, much better. There was no sense of urgency, teamwork, or hustle, especially on a Saturday night. I asked the hostess why there were so many empty tables, and her response was, "We don't have servers in this sections" On a Saturday night, this is unacceptable planning and management. Management and supervisors walking around and not acknowledging customers. That was the one thing that I did. Talk to customers and see how their dining experience is. Customer Service goes a long way. Once seated, we were then told we only had one hour for the all-you-can-eat pasta. After waiting 3 hours to be seated, being given only one hour to enjoy our meal was extremely disappointing. I do want to acknowledge our server Lindsay was friendly, patient, and personable. She was a pleasure to deal with and deserves recognition for her customer service. Unfortunately, the other server working in our section was not friendly and gave our table a dirty look. At the end of the night, I approached the manager to compliment Lindsay. While I was having a conversation with him, that same server rolled her eyes and attempted to get the manager's attention, which I found incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional. As someone who understands the Food & Beverage industry, I know this restaurant could be managed far more efficiently. The lack of organization, urgency, and overall customer service made this a very disappointing experience. Management needs to take a serious look at staffing, service, and the way customers are treated. Customers deserve much better than this. If not taking reservations, they to limit the seating time. Alfredo sauce was sweet in taste. Bread Sticks were warm Gnoochi soup was good Pumpkin cheesecake was yummy.

    This is a personal opinion from an Asian palate-- Appetizer: Shrimp Fritto Misto Photos on Google Maps and on the menu portray this as a hearty bunch of shrimp. What we got was more breaded bell peppers with shrimps. Our expectation was for all the elements in the dish to be crispy; they weren't. Battered shrimp and bell peppers. But to be fair, they didn't mention on the menu that they'll be served to a crisp. Would've been better if it was crispy. Entree 1: Tour of Italy Alfredo sauce was nice and flavourful. Pasta was undercooked. I still had a number of strands on my plate that were hard and sticking together. Chicken was slightly overcooked and the breading lacked texture. Could've also be better seasoned if to be eaten as-is. Lasagna is a 4/10 on flavor. Marinara sauce for this & on the appetizer was sweeter than expected. I like my red sauce to be a bit more tangy and for some basil flavor to pop-out. Entree 2: Chicken & Shrimp Carbonara Sauce was sweet. Our expectation was for it to be a bit more savory. Chicken was weird -- it was breaded and soggy and tough. Might be better if they played around with the textures and included bite-sized crispy chicken instead. Also if you're charging >$30 portion, I'm expecting much more than that serving size. The entrees come w bread sticks + soup or salad that can be refilled. Salad was light & the hot pickled peppers were a nice touch. I used the peppers to flavor my pasta lol We tried all the soups and they were all good. But once you get through the salad, soup + bread sticks, you're already full by the time the entree arrives. The staff were hospitable and attentive. Everyone's working hard to make sure that their guests are taken good care of. They do a good job and I hope that the management sees and appreciates that! One standout "tactic" that we observed was that for each and every table that orders, all the servers comment on the lines of "that's a great choice!" "You ordered the best ones on the menu!" "Amazing choices! All of those are soo good!" . But hey, when you charge >$30 for a pasta entree, they want to make you believe that you're making the right choice for paying that much money. Listen around and observe that ^ the next time you visit. We're lucky that we came for a weekday lunch. Got seated in 10mins. But in all honesty, food isn't worth a 20min-3hr wait. Try again next time when you see a long line. You're not missing out on anything special.
