Olive Garden
The Olive Garden restaurant is known for concentrating on and providing its diners with the genuine Italian dining experience. So if you are craving a taste of Italy, Olive Garden is sure to serve what you are looking for. In addition to great Italian food, Olive Garden serves its fare in a warm, welcoming and relaxed family atmosphere.
In an effort to provide the most authentic Italian dining experience possible, Olive Garden is famous for recommending and pairing its dishes with great wines. Of course, the wine is totally optional. However, if you desire the full experience, choose your meal and allow a member of the highly trained waitstaff to assist you with your wine selection.
For those who just want to grab lunch, Olive Garden offers its unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks combination. You can choose from great full-bodied Italian soups that include Pasta e Fagioli (white and red beans, ground beef, tomatoes and pasta in a savory broth), Zuppa Toscana (spicy sausage, russet potatoes and cavolo greens in a creamy broth), and classic Minestrone (fresh vegetables, beans and pasta in a light tomato broth).
Of course, Olive Garden also offers traditional Italian dishes like lasagna, ziti, spaghetti, chicken parmesan, and fettuccine alfredo. But if you really want to be adventurous, you should think about trying one of Olive Garden's signature dishes, such as the Pork Filettino (grilled pork tenderloin marinated in extra-virgin olive oil and rosemary served with Tuscan potatoes and bell peppers) or the Shrimp & Asparagus Risotto (large sautéed shrimp served over creamy parmesan risotto with asparagus). But be sure to start your meal off with one of Olive Garden's appetizers, including some of the best calamari that you ever tasted.
Of course you have to finish your meal with one of the wonderful desserts like the Italian classic tiramisu. And you can bet that you have never tasted anything like the lemon cream cake (delicate white cake and lemon cream filling with a vanilla crumb topping). The white chocolate raspberry cheesecake is no slouch either.
So if you are looking for a wonderful Italian meal at budget friendly prices, then you would definitely want to consider the Olive Garden.
