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.

Olive Garden is exactly what you think it is.

It's affordably priced, Americanized Italian food. However, I *love* it. I really recommend their salad. The dressing is one of my favorite Italian dressings ever. Of their soups, all are good, but I especially like the zuppa toscana (potato/sausage) and the pasta e fagioli (pasta/beans/tomato base). I particularly enjoy their create a sampler as an appetizer that can appeal to anyone. Often, I get it as my meal. Of their appetizers, I recommend all the tried and true favorites - the chicken parmigiana, chicken or seafood alfredo, chicken alfredo pizza, etc. Obviously, I recommend their alfredo sauce. If you do get the chicken parmigiana, either order the lunch portion or split it with a friend. It comes with two chicken breasts and plenty of pasta (you can substitute fettucine alfredo for the spaghetti).
This particular Olive Garden has friendly, cheerful service. I would avoid it on a Friday or Saturday night or Sunday midday (they're always swamped!), but otherwise, the wait is usually minimal. The food is plentiful, the atmosphere relaxed. It's a great place to take your family.
- Pros: tasty, affordable food, their alfredo sauce
- Cons: can have a wait and doesn't take reservations
