The Florence Olive Garden Restaurant is ready to open to the public. The popular Olive Garden Restaurant closed its doors in January and was demolished to make way for the new Tuscan style restaurant. With increased seating capacity and a new menu, the Olive Garden promises to draw a large crowd like it used to.

There will be limited hours during the first week of operation due to some modifications and personnel issues that are being addressed. This is to “work out the kinks” due to all new equipment in their state of the art kitchen.

The Olive Garden will open on Monday, August 4th with limited hours of 4 pm until 10 pm. On Monday, August 11th, the Olive Garden in Florence will resume full operations, opening at 11 am.

The Olive Garden is still interviewing for positions prior to opening.

If you are wanting to visit the Olive Garden in Florence on Mall Road any time soon, better wait until September. The Olive Garden was closed after Friday night’s service in order to make way for the new Olive Garden.

The Mall Road location was originally another restaurant, so Darden Restaurants, the parent company of Olive Garden, is making way for a new building style to better match the restaurants theme and image.

The new Olive Garden will be of Tuscan style decor and offer better seating options for patrons. The new Olive Garden should be open around September, 2008. In the meantime, the other locations in the Greater Cincinnati area are still open. Employees were offered positions in the area with other Darden restaurant chain stores, such as Red Lobster and Smokey Bones.
