Its FOOD. How about we move on from middle school? <<I have a suggestion, you should try and find a restaurant that serves cannoli's for a desert! I've looked everywhere and can't find a single restaurant that serves them. Thanks! Why are you still judging people on where they eat? Its FOOD. How about we move on from middle school?

After finding tinfoil in my food once from the bag my food came out of I was turned off. Don't be fooled by their $6 glasses of wine either- the entire bottle costs them $3.

No, not all of the entress are true "Italian." American's couldnt handle true Italian food so they put an american twins on it. Just like Mexican restaurants do! They do make all soups, sauces, and Lasagna's fresh daily as with all the other food. As far as the wine, The Principato's are made especially for the Olive Garden (in Italy)! Plus their wine list has a variety where everyone will find something they like. In your case, they do not carry Boones farm. As a former Olive Garden Manager, You are not a true Italian.

I have worked hard on this blog to put information out there for people to use....no one pays me to do this!

Are they so unhappy that they need to look down on people who aren't "cool" enough to hate Olive Garden, or people who eat at Denny's, in order to make themselves feel better? If this is their way of trying to educate us about what is authentic Italian food, I'm sure we would all appreciate a recommendation for an alternate restaurant in the area, or even simply a link to a website featuring great authentic Italian food.

You enjoy eating there because to you it is a nice night out. Olive Garden is a complete joke when it comes to quality of food. The first post was 100% dead on. Olive Garden is popular here but laughed at by anyone with half a brain, half a heart, and at least common sense to know what good food is. But you go on eating there Angela.

I always enjoy eating at Olive Garden. I have had them offer samples of wine occasionally when I go there, but not very often. The food is always consistent, and quite frankly, when most people think Italian, the dishes here are what comes to mind. We may be "wrong," but our Italian friend didn't bother to point out better authentic restaurants that one should go to in the area....

I hate to break this to you but Olive Garden is as far from Italian as possible. The wine list sucks, the food is NOT Italian, and the staff has one thing in mind. Try to sell as much wine as possible. I would never order wine at this place because: 1) It sucks 2) It sucks 3) It sucks The food i drowning in cheese or some microwaved sauce so that eliminates it from being true Italian. Next thing you are going to believe is that Taco bell is true Mexican or that Red Lobster is truly good seafood.
