Editorial Review for Olive Garden – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Established in 1982, this chain gained a following for its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions. Patrons settle into comfortable booths and tables in dining rooms with plants, artwork and décor reminiscient of the villas in the Tuscan countryside. Starters include scampi, sausage or pepperoni pizza, and several soup choices, as well as a signature seafood dip (crab, shrimp, cheese and marinara). Entrees include classics like lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana. There are also "Garden Fare" options, which promise 30 percent fewer calories.

A lame attempt at Italian cooking. I laugh at the commercials about the Olive Garden Cooking Academy. I took Italian cooking classes in Italy and I can do much better. If you like Garlic, basil and rich flavors skip this Chain restaurant. If you like bland, please pass the salt pasta then this place is for you. Good wine can be had.
Pros: Ambience, Wine list
Cons: Bland, chain restaurant
