I am about to write a very favorable review of an Olive Garden, and I still can't believe it. To say I am not a fan of the chain would be an understatement. However, for a number of very valid reasons I found myself having a family dinner at the Altoona, PA Olive Garden. And it was great. We were... More

This is THE place to enjoy a family meal in Altoona. The never empty salad bowl and always full bread stick basket complement the "semi-authentic" Italian cuisine. Our waitress was courteous and attentive to our every need. We highly recommend stopping by the Olive Garden when visiting Altoona, PA.

This chicken is great it includes spaghetti w/ marinara sauce. YUM! to say the least. It also included endless salad ...Boy what a deal. And the service was fantastic the manager even came around to say HI and ask if everything was ok.

Honestly this place is nice to eat at. The breadsticks are great, the meatballs are great too...but the food isn't that terrific and it's a bit pricey anymore.

The food is always great. I love the soup and salad for lunch. The owner comes out to make sure everything is good at least 25% of the time we visit.

Our family really enjoys the Olive Garden in Altoona. It has a nice family atmosphere, and everyone can find something that they like on the menu. Unlike some of the other restaurants in this chain, this particular Olive Garden has consistently good food and service. On our last visit, our waiter, Mike, was delightful. The kids said that we have... More

We enjoy the Altoona Olive Garden for a nice dinner for two or a meal with friends! Restaurant is popular so sometimes there is a wait. You'll want to get there early if you are coming for dinner! Always love the atmosphere!

My first time eating in Altoona's Olive Garden was a wonderful experience. The restaurant was busy but we didn't have to wait for a table, service & food were terrific! The restaurant is across the street from the Holiday Inn Express where we stayed while in town.
