Olive Garden doesn't publish a formal refund guarantee — issues with an order are handled case by case through the restaurant manager or Guest Relations, part of parent company Darden Restaurants.
Start With the Restaurant, Not Corporate
For food that's missing, wrong, under- or overcooked, damaged, or seriously late, Olive Garden's own guidance is to contact the restaurant manager promptly rather than going straight to Darden's corporate office. If that doesn't resolve it, Olive Garden Guest Relations at 1-800-331-2729 can help with a refund, replacement, corrected charge, or gift-card correction. Keeping your receipt, order number, and the date/time of the visit makes the process faster.
