Italian Garden: Reviews & Ratings
They used to be wonderful under original owner, then had a very bad period under another owner. They nearly went out of business but now are under an owner who is bringing things back. The food is great again. The only issue is they are having trouble keeping enough staff.
Ordered the Veal Sub yesterday and I was blown away. It was simply the best food I've eaten in a long time. The service was up standing and our wonderful waitress was very attentive and always made sure we were topped off. The ambiance was also nice, the restaurant was clean and the environment was very friendly and inviting. Will continue to drive 45 mins to eat here again and again.
This is the first time that I've had an opportunity to dine here. As many times as I've been through Boiling Springs,N.C. I've never even noticed that this restaurant was here! My daughter suggested that we have lunch here as she had frequently eaten here before and found that the food was good. I ordered a pizza special that came with two free drinks. Of course I did this on purpose so my daughter wouldn't have to pay for hers! She had a baked chicken fettuccine Alfredo and said it was delicious! I had a hamburger pizza.My pizza was huge 15 inches of the most mouth watering cheese that I've ever tasted! When the pizza arrived at our table I immediately requested a to go box! The tomato sauce was quite good; but not excellent.The crust was cooked perfectly but not quite delicious. I'm taking away 1 star because there was very little hamburger topping. The service people are wonderful here! Friendly, knowledgeable, and very interactive with their customers! Oh; but I wonder where they got that fantastic tasting cheese? I recommend this place of course! Bring your big boy appetite or get a to go box like I did !
For Mother's Day 2021, mom wanted her special meal here. It had been awhile since we've eaten out because of the lockdowns and regulations. The ambience was welcoming and relaxed. The place was packed and people were eating and having fun. We were greeted by a nice host wearing her mask, as were all staff. It's great to see but I wouldn't rate any business based on mask wearing, only on their food and service. If for instance a wait staff member pulled a mask down to get fresh oxygen or even removed their mask, I certainly will not get upset. Life is restarting again, normality is slowly returning, it's time to embrace it. If people need more time for safety reasons until things are more back to normal before eating out, then certainly they should stay home and order take out or delivery. I ordered a large thin crust pepperoni and a tossed salad with a tea. Mom ordered the Italian Garden Combo Dinner consisting of 'Marinated grilled beef tenderloin and marinated chicken tenderloin, served with dinner salad, pita bread, steak fried, and our tzatziki sauce', and a water. The salads arrived crisp and fresh tasting and the thousand island dressing tasted very good. Mom stated her salad tasted wonderful. The tea tasted good and not overly sweetened. We both enjoyed our salads and the waitress refilled our glasses twice without any need to ask. There was a short wait, but not overly long and soon the main courses arrived piping hot. Pizza has always been a favourite so I have very discriminating tastes concerning how it tastes. The pie had a wonderful cheesy pepperoni smell but the real test is the taste. As I bit down into the chosen slice my taste buds were very happy! The sauce was great and pizza cooked just right. The crust had very good texture and taste. Fresh dough was definitely used in making this pizza. It was a great pie overall and I took leftover slices home and enjoyed the rest later. Mom really enjoyed her dinner and said the tenderloin beef and chicken both tasted excellent. She also commented on how great the pita bread tasted. She visits other Italian restaurants in her area and likes Italian Garden versus the ones near her in South Carolina. They had great service and the staff made sure we were taken care of while there. I showed my appreciation with a nice tip for the waitress. This is a great Italian restaurant with a down home type casual experience located in a college town and it's worth visiting. We had a wonderful time and will be back and I will definitely be ordering take out pizza! :)
