Olive Garden is a great spot to eat out. You can get just about anything "Italian" there that taste good, and at a reasonable price. They have some online coupons that can get you an extra entree, or free dessert. One of the best things about Olive Garden is the all you can eat, bread sticks and salad. The bread sticks come out nice and warm and buttered. The salad is a good garden style salad with black olives, onions, and pepperoncini peppers. Very tasty!
You can get a nice glass of wine or a mixed drink, that compliments your meal well. They also does a nice virgin frozen drink too. Of course, they have the endless soda fountain drinks, or lemonade or ice tea. They do a good job keeping your glass filled.
The appetizers are your typical, Italian-style fare. Fried "this", and Stuffed "that", with a sprinkle of a light seafood dish, or some spinach dip choice. Good choices, just not very different from other Italian style eateries.
The entree is what usually sets Olive Garden apart from the other chain Italian restaurants. They do a great job of keeping the menu fresh and up to date. They keep the normal classics, like Lasagna, Spaghetti and Meatballs, even Seafood Portifino. However, they keep it interesting with dishes like:
Grilled Shrimp Caprese
Shrimp & Asparagus Risotto
Chianti Braised Short Ribs
Stuffed Chicken Marsala
These Specialties were inspired by the Culinary Institute of Tuscany, their cooking school in Italy. All excellent choices!
If you are not totally stuffed by the time you are done with dinner. You can grab a a decadent dessert the at definitely finish the dinner off right.
They do a great job with a classic Tiramisu. If you want to delve more into chocolate bliss, try the Chocolate Gelato or the Black Tie Mousse Cake.
Overall, Olive Garden has a good variety on the menu, with decent prices. No you are not getting what you would get in Tuscany, but you will enjoy the food and won't go broke paying for it. Please make sure to look for Olive Garden coupons, to maximize your dining experience.
