The 2nd Olive Garden restaurant in the Philippines opened in the Glorietta 3 mall on January 9.

Now open in Glorietta 3, Olive Garden welcomes you to experience the Italian hospitality, warmth, and hearty fare for which it is known. The 113-seat eatery debuted on the third floor of the aforementioned shopping center on January 9.

Olive Garden is the largest American-Italian restaurant chain in the United States, with more than 900 locations and more than 96,000 employees. It is famous for its Never Ending garden-fresh salad, homemade soups, and fresh-baked, soft garlic breadsticks.

Darden Regional Operations director Greg Balogh was in Manila for the grand opening. American trainers were also present to help get the local staff ready for the grand opening.

“We are excited to open our 2nd branch in the Philippines in a span of 3 months, on the heels of the success of our maiden store at the Mall of Asia. We are very pleased about the enthusiastic welcome that Filipinos accorded Olive Garden and we look forward to expanding the brand in more locations soon,”
Balogh said.

“What we have with Darden Restaurants, Inc., the company behind Olive Garden, is a collaboration that’s been very positive from the start. We are happy to be working with them on building the brand and growing the business locally.”
The Bistro Group’s President Jean Paul Manuud, said.

After Glorietta 3, The Bistro Group will open this year another Olive Garden branch.
