About Olive Garden
Olive Garden is one of the largest Italian-American casual-dining restaurant chains in the United States. The brand was established in 1982 and became known for pasta, soup, salad, breadsticks, chicken, seafood, desserts, family meals, and an informal full-service dining experience.
Today, Olive Garden operates nearly 900 restaurants and employs more than 99,000 people. The brand generates billions of dollars in annual sales and remains one of the largest businesses within Darden Restaurants.
Olive Garden is a division of Darden Restaurants, Inc., a publicly traded restaurant company that also operates several other restaurant brands.
