We visited for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. Our waitress, Amanda, started by greeting us warmly, asking us what brought us to the restaurant today, and making some small talk before taking our drink order. She also offered us a free wine sampling - up to three 1-oz pours off their wine menu, presumably to get us to order wine,... More

A lot of food - all carbs. Filling, but very poor quality. Not worth the prices. Good atmosphere inside and very polite, friendly service. Gluten free dish was very unsatisfactory. Don't recommend.

Consistently good food and the servers are excellent without being intrusive. We know we will always get a good meal here!

This is one of our favorites when visiting Redding! They're always busy but quick to seat you. The food is always good and you always leave full. The stuffed chicken marsala is to die for and the Stella Rossa Roso is a GREAT wine choice!

food good except the calimari was a little undercooked, the waitress had to be asked multiple times for lemon, and was inattentive. She needed more time assisting before trying to serve.

The staff is nice, very helpful, quick with drinks. It is hit or miss though sometimes with servers. My dad's a talker and they always stop and listen to him.

We were having a good meal in a Roadhouse in Redding, and talking to the friendly waitress and she gave a couple of suggestions of other good places to eat. One she recommended was Olive Garden, an italian restaurant. As we arrived we were welcomed, shown to our table and offered a sample wine. We ordered meals and wines which... More

One of our favorite places to eat! From the time you walk through the door til the time you leave it's a totally peaceful, relaxing, enjoyable experience. The food is always delicious. The atmosphere is delightful. The servers are very polite and friendly. No matter what Olive Garden we've ever gone to it's always been an exceptional experience.

Food was excellent and so was the desert (which could have been a meal by itself). Great location with easy acccess to hotels.
