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.

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.
