    I've become a lot bigger fan of it over the past few years. Right now, my favorite was the Pork Milanease (SP?). Problem with that place is that dish might go away before too long. *cries But hopefully not. big grin I also like that Gnocchi soup! Nothing like some good Gnocchi! big grin

    It is my restaurant of choice when eating out with family or friends, as I can find tasty vegetarian fare while they can have meat dishes.

    I love Italian food and salad and red wine. So, Olive Garden it is. I usually get cheese ravioli with marinara sauce.

    I adore the Olive Garden. Their Shrimp Caprese is off the chain. I don't think you heard me…off…the…chain!

    Not a fan. My friends and I love to ridicule their lack of authenticity.

    I have been to Olive Garden a few times and the food is not bad. The Olive Garden I went to in Vegas had terrible food, I could not even eat it, I had some kind of chicken dish and it was god awful. The Olive Garden I went to in California was much better the food was tasty and fresh. I have been to 2 Olive Garden's in NY and both of them were good. I usually order one of their chicken dishes and their salad is pretty good. Nothing like home cooked Italian for me.

    We don't have one here and even if we did we wouldn't go anyway. Their ads on TV are so gross, the food always looks like somebody already ate it!

    The food at the one near us is pretty good. The specials they advertise on TV all look good to me.

    I passed by an Olive Garden on my way home from Target today. Started to go in, but didn't think they do take out.

    I don't remember ever eating there. I didn't even know it was an Italian food place until now. Who knows....maybe I can get one of you to take me there, and pay for it on your credit card....then I'll come back and give my analysis.
