| Corporate Website: OLIVE GARDEN ONLINE |
| Treating you like you're family, or so Olive Garden's new creed goes. Olive Garden is the top-of-the-line in chain Italian restaurants. Most stores have changed to the new decor, with the rough stucco walls, and the Italian market feel. The most popular thing on the menu, seeing that it comes with most entrees, is definately the salad and breadsticks. That's what you go to Olive Garden to eat! The house salad comes with OG's famous house dressing, Romaine lettuce, olives, peppers, tomatoes, cheese, and by request, fresh ground pepper and most important to remember, it's a bottomless bowl served right to your table. The breadsticks are wonderfully coated in garlic butter and very tasty. The atmosphere can be rather loud at times, but that's what you are here for, the wonderful Italian atmosphere and good times. OG offers a full selection of beers, wines, cordials and specialty drinks from the bar. Children will find their own menu and for the rest of us, some very tempting entrees and desserts. Truly, this is one exceptional restaurant. During peak hours and most weekends you will experience waits as long as 2 hours. A member of the Darden Family of Restaurants. |
