THE OLD SPAGHETTI FACTORY FRESNO REVIEWS

This place is a long-time favorite of mine. A friend brought me here to spend my birthday coupon and I had earned an order of Garlic bread. Everything about this restaurant is wonderful! The server helped me find my coupon codes on my phone. I had a wonderful margarita with my dinner. The Garlic bread was the best ever! I had the tenderloin...very yummy It was good to go there for dinner.

Great service , great food, and a great atmosphere. Great for a first date or a big family function. Staff is very friendly and work hard to not only meet but excede your expectations. Highly recommend given them a try if you're in the area.

Excellent meal and service. Tyler was our server and was attentive. I had the Chicken Marsala and my husband had the Pasta with Rich Meat Sauce. We both had wine with our meal. I highly recommend this restaurant.

THE ANNEX KITCHEN REVIEWS

So so so good. Everything we had was phenomenal, they do have some things that rotate on the menu so if there’s something you want to try, I recommend going for it. Had no reservations, walked in around 5pm on a Saturday, were very lucky to get seated at the bar (3 of us). Service was outstanding, one of the dishes was delayed and they gave us complimentary meatballs. I had the lamb Ragu - amazing. Others had the seafood pasta that was also very good, and the bucatini.

We love coming to the Annex kitchen for appetizers and pizza. The meatballs are amazing and the kale salad is incredible....and I never thought I would ever say that! Everything we have ever ordered here is enjoyable to the palate. Highly recommend.

Hands down probably the best Italian restaurant in Fresno. The food is always on point, tasty and never left me disappointed. Service is also good, the only thing i dont really like is the noise. People are extremely loud and make the environment less enjoyable. A little advice, lights are too dim, a bit more brighter will help to read the menu because not all the tables are well illuminated.

OLIVE GARDEN ITALIAN RESTAURANT FRESNO REVIEWS

Excellent service. Our wait person was very attentive with the iced tea and soft drinks. The food was very good.. nice and hot and very tasty. First order of breadsticks was cold but the second was nice and hot. I was very pleased that this time the salad was not soaking in dressing! I also like their new method of paying at the table. Quick and easy. I have to say I enjoyed going to this OG rather than the one in Clovis.

We went late evening for dessert, we had Cappuccinos and Tiramisu. Extremely delightful and tasty, the manager, Tammie was amazing. I would definitely recommend and go back.

Olive Garden in Riverside Shopping Center is always good. Our server Alondra was outstanding!!.
