Did you order food from Olive Garden and receive the wrong item? Or is something missing from your order? Do not worry. You can usually report the problem in a few simple steps.
First, Check Your Order
Before calling Olive Garden, check all your bags and food containers.
Sometimes breadsticks, sauce, salad, drinks, or small items are packed in a separate bag.
Also check your receipt or order confirmation.
Make sure the missing item was actually included in your order.
Call the Olive Garden Restaurant
If an item is really missing or wrong, contact the Olive Garden restaurant that prepared your order.
If you ordered online, you can usually find the restaurant phone number in your order confirmation email.
Tell them:
- Your name
- When you ordered
- What you ordered
- What item is missing
- What wrong item you received
Keep your receipt or order confirmation with you.
Example
You can simply say:
“Hi, I picked up my Olive Garden order today. I ordered two Chicken Alfredo meals, but I only received one. Can you please help me?”
You do not need to give a long explanation.
Just explain the problem clearly.
What If You Received the Wrong Food?
For example, you ordered Chicken Parmigiana but received Chicken Alfredo.
First, check your receipt.
If your receipt shows the correct order but the food is wrong, call the restaurant.
Tell them what you ordered and what you received.
The restaurant can then tell you what to do next.
What If an Item Is Missing?
Common missing items can include:
- Breadsticks
- Salad
- Soup
- Drinks
- Sauce
- Dressing
- Dessert
- Entrée
- Side items
Check every bag first.
If the item is still missing, contact the restaurant.
What If Your Delivery Order Is Wrong?
If you ordered directly from Olive Garden, contact the restaurant connected with your order.
If you ordered through another delivery app, you may also need to use the help section inside that app.
Check your order confirmation to see where your order was placed.
Should You Go Back to the Restaurant?
Call first.
Do not immediately drive back to the restaurant.
Tell them what happened and ask what you should do.
They may give you instructions over the phone.
Will Olive Garden Give a Refund?
It depends on the problem.
Olive Garden may review your order and decide what solution is available.
Do not assume that every missing item will automatically receive a refund, free meal, coupon, or replacement.
Contact the restaurant and ask what they can do for your order.
What If the Restaurant Cannot Help?
If you already contacted the restaurant but still need help, you can contact Olive Garden Guest Relations.
Olive Garden currently lists its Guest Relations phone number as:

When contacting Guest Relations, keep these details ready:

Can You Report the Problem Through the Survey?
Yes, you can use an Olive Garden survey to share feedback about your experience.

A survey is mainly useful for sharing feedback.
For an immediate order problem, contact the restaurant directly.

If you lost the paper receipt, check your email.
