Amazing food, great staff. Came from out of town and would highly recommend this place. Much better than waiting two hours to eat at 'freds wait for steak'.

I've ate here 2 weeks ago and the spaghetti was runny with water. Today I went back and got the Chef Favorite. Chicken was like rubber and tasteless and the Alfredo sauce was awful. Had better out of a jar. I don't recommend this place whatsoever.

If you're looking for excellent service, food and prices definitely put this one on your list!! Had sleghetti w meatballs, hubs had the lasagna and had calamari appetizer. Everything was excellent, traditional and tasted of true italian!! Definitely not from a can. Fresh and delicious.The servers go above and beyond with a smile!!

Not too happy this time. Bread was hard, chicken tasted old, served dirty dish to use, tables not cleaned and not to mention nats flying in your face while trying to eat. Place use to be clean, good service but not today. It will be a few months before going back.

We drove all the way to your resturant (65 miles one way) and you were closed today. Website said you were open. It was extremely frustrating. We don't know how the food is???????

Place was empty around 3pm but it was between meals. Also it was cold inside. Jacket time cold. We ordered sausage and pepper marinara? and a spaghetti plate. Rolls came out and were warm, fresh and tasty. We asked about salad and was told it comes with the meal but she never took that order but finally got it. Lettuce looked like it had been frozen in places but overall it has enough crispy pieces to satisfy. The meals were delicious. Lots of crispy green pepper slices and loads of fantastic Italian sausage slices. The sauce was marvellous with a well blended but thick consistency. Wish there were more spaghetti noodles with it cause it was really good. The meat spaghetti was also very well made and all of the orders were very hot and tasted fresh. Read lot of good and bad reviews about this place but for us it was great and we'll be going back.

I really enjoy eating at the Italian Garden. The staff is wonderful the food is great. My only complaint was that for the second time in a row I've been there they did not have spinach ravioli. And that is one of the favorites that I order at that restaurant. Maybe next time!

The food was ok. Large portions , but nothing great. I had the cheese tortilini with chicken. My husband ordered the spaghetti. He said the sauce was not that good. It took forever to get our check, but I did notice they were hiring, so they may have needed more staff that day.

Pleasantly surprised! Great food with large portions. Food was amazing. You could share a plate they are so large. Exterior and interior was lacking but don’t let that stop you from trying this place out.

Our waitress was wonderful. The wait was kinda long but not too bad. Mainly just annoying because my kids are impatient. The owner looked at my head weird which was kinda rude. I’m a bald woman. But overall it was alright. I’ll be back at some point.
Have eaten here several times over the years but this is my first review. We always get carry out. It's well packed and portions are huge. There is usually plenty left for a second meal. Bread is great, as is their minestrone soup. Twice we were shorted an appetizer but we always worked it out on the next order.

Had high hopes despite some reviews. All I can say is this place is disgusting. We ordered out for my wife's birthday dinner. We ordered Manicotti, Spaghetti with meat sauce with an extra sausage and a pizza to eat the next day. ALL of it was terrible. Glad trash day is in two days. Never threw out so much food before. We agree with other reviews that you can get better food in the frozen section of Wal-Mart. My wife went in to pick up the food and said the place was not well cleaned. On a positive note, the rolls were edible.

There was a help wanted sign out, so it may have been a bad evening for them, but the service was very slow. We were seated and got drinks and bread with no problem. The bread was delicious. It took a while to give our order. They seated other people and they received their salad and had them eaten while we continued to wait. We overheard a lady, that appeared to be the manager, telling a couple that sent back food that the regular sauce didn’t come in or something like that. They paid for their drinks and left. Finally, she brought our orders of lasagna. I told her we hadn’t gotten the salad yet and she brought it out fairly quickly. If we had liked the Lasagna had been good, I would have left a better review, but it wasn’t. Neither of us finished it and not due to being too much food. Live Edge Bar and Grill near Mountain Home was much better. I’m not sure why they don’t have a presence on Trip Advisor, but I would definitely go there again.

The Pasta Trio was great. Chicken and Broccoli sauce was awesome. However the chicken was a little tough. The bread was so good I ate 3 pieces. The lunch portions were large.

Ordered from here last night for pick up. The wait time was incredibly long, the girl that took my order seemed aggravated that I asked for a total, failed to give me one and ball parked me an amount of “about $30”. Made it home with my food only to find that the Italian garden salad with tomatoes, olives, mozzarella, and croutons that I ordered was instead just a half side salad of just lettuce at full charge for a full salad. I also asked for extra bread with my meal and was given total 2 1/2 rolls. The only reason I’m giving them two stars was because my entree was surprisingly good given the amount of disappointment, however was far enough from a saving grace to redeem my meal completely.
