Olive Garden Review and Giveaway

by Laura


The tag line for Olive Garden restaurants is: When you’re here, you’re family,® and that is just how I feel when I am there. I am sharing and Olive Garden review and giveaway today.

I love how I never feel rushed when I go there to eat.

However, if I am ever on a schedule, the servers are always considerate of that, too. I am an Olive Garden fan and recently had the opportunity to go there and take the family for dinner.

Now, I am usually the one who likes to venture out and try new things at restaurants.

I love Olive Garden’s lasagna and Fettuccine Alfredo. However, I only have those dishes occasionally. Most of the time I get soup along with the salad and breadsticks. Dipping sauce for the breadsticks is a must in my book. My family’s sauce of choice is the alfredo! I have tried all the soups and love them all, but this time they had a new one. It is Chicken and Potato Florentine; it was delicious. I would say it was kind of like the Zuppa Tocana with a tomato twist to it.



My hubby is all about the Cheese Ravioli but with alfredo sauce.

That is what he chose this time. He will occasionally order the Lasagna Fritta appetizer as his meal. I have sampled it, and it is delish. It’s like a breaded lasagna. My two boys are too big for the children’s menu, so my oldest went for Fettuccine Alfredo and my other boy decided to give the Create Your Own Pizza a try. In true boy style, he was all about the meat and chose pepperoni and sausage as his toppings. The pizza was more than enough for him after bread sticks and salad, and he ended up taking 2/3 of the pizza home. The pizza really is a dish that is easily shared.


My youngest and only daughter followed in true kiddie style and picked good old mac and cheese.

She could be a mac and cheese connoisseur with the many bowls she has tried at various restaurants. She gobbled up every last noodle. The kids’ meals now come with a choice of sides, too—grapes, streamed broccoli, or garlic mashed potatoes. She chose grapes.
If you happen to have room for dessert, they have some great choices. My favorite is the Black Tie Mousse Cake, but the White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake and Lemon Cream Cake are great as well. The Black Tie Mouse Cake is everything a chocolate lover could expect and is so creamy.


I love that my family is always happy after a meal at Olive Garden, and no one goes away from the table hungry.

I’d try a peach bellini and use the special to stretch the gift card. I’d get the salad with dressing on the side(as well as have a breadstick or 2) try the creamy parmesan portobella fettucine(a half portion since the calorie count is a liiii-ttle bit high- and I’d get to save the other half for lunch the following day.) Then for dessert I’d try the amaretto tiramisu dolcini.
With the leftover on the gift card I could try the 5 cheese marinara with shrimp and a limoncello mousse dolcini on another trip.

We are Olive Garden “kindred spirits”. I ALWAYS get the alfredo sauce to dip the breadsticks in and honestly I always eat way too many and end up fuller than I should be. Normally I go for the chicken alfredo with the house salad. Last time I ordered the chicken alfredo pizza and it was perfect for me to take the left overs home for lunch the next day. Sadly the pasta dishes do not re heat so well. I would choose the pizza again. thomandalicia @ msn. com

I have never eaten at Olive Garden, and quite honestly somewhat believe the negative connotations that it has…”not real italian” etc. I am willing to give it a shot though, and if it changes my mind, then I will def be an Olive Garden recruiter for others.

Minestrone of course and then Lasagna. I love Olive Garden.

It’s been so long since I’ve been to the Olive Garden. But I used to get the Seafood Portofino. Is that still on the menu? If not, I’ll go with the usual standby…..soup, salad & breadsticks!
