Me and my girlfriend go to Olive Garden every now and then, place isn't bad. They got kind of a shitty bar though, it's not a place designed with drinking in mind like other family dining resturants like TGIFridays or Applebees

Calling anything they do god tier just shows you have a palate like a donkey's backside.

For cheap casual dining, the food is fine. Literally any non-chain Italian place will do it better.

The Chefs are trained in Italy. As int eh chefs creating the menu. No one working int he actual stores is a chef. They're all line cooks, boiling pasta, microwaving prepackaged sauces and lasagna, or grilling/deep frying proteins to go with those things.

Well, if you tell me where you live, I'll check the official Olive Garden website, search for the nearest Olive Garden, and then I will determine what the prices are like.
I can get a more specific result for you if you tell me exactly what it is you would like to eat.

All of this. It's not god tier. It is iceberg lettuce in the salad, which is fine once in a while, but "god tier", no. It is simply enjoyably volume in your first course. They have a formuila and do it consistently to their recipes and dishes. It is middle of the road only, though. There is value if you look at their 2nd entree takehome of leftovers, or some other happy hour special. Probably all deals require the App anyway. A fast business lunch used to be something they could pull off. Romanos, Buca de Beppo, Carrabas, and Maggiano's has better bread.

What is consistent, sadly, is that Olive Gardens are a "family" restaurant, and you can almost count upon being annoyed by wild people dining near you. Families use this restaurant as the proverbial special night out, people who maybe don't dine out often, they visit and overstay, let their children scream and race around the establishment playing tag, or else talking at such a high volume, that your own table can't communicate. Being seated near a group is unavoidable here.

I feel sad for people who don't wish to have whoever in the mom n pop in town is doing the best handmade garlic knots swimming in chunky garlic and oil, an antipasti salad with premium meats and roasted peppers, or a ripe tomato on their caprese salad. I like the less frequently ordered pastas, usually. The common stuff I will make at home. When somebody chooses Olive Garden, I try to change the restaurant to something else.

What's wrong with being around a bunch of youths that are wilding out during din din?
Do you think your white privilege entitles you to a quiet meal in a restaurant at inflated prices?
If you don't like being around Black people of color, cook a meal at home and eat it there, you fucking racist. People need to learn to accept that wilding out in public is a part of our culture.

It's internalized because when anon brought up an otherwise underpriced noisy family you, completely unprinted, assumed that family was black. You need to check multiple aspects of yourself. You may be fine harming yourself with your discrimination but it's not cool for your hate to harm others.

Honestly? I only go there to get the zuppa toscana. After I’m full of soup I get whatever I ordered to go. I’m not adventureous to try something new in the menu, because I’m afraid I’ll be disappointed. So it’s always the chicken Alfredo I have but it’s just meh.

I could have sworn the menu was better 10 to 20 years ago. My father used to order the portobello ravioli with steak. It wasn’t necessarily on the menu but they made it.

Nowadays the peach or mango tea and the dessert are good but being Italian myself I can’t endure eating fucking pasta. And the food is just bland. The tour of Italy is nothing to write home about seeing the ricotta cheese on the lasagna is just gross.

I find it hard to find something good on the menu. If you have a suggestion I am willing to consider it.

Right, non hipsters shovel slop down their throat and don't question anything. They don't care where their food comes from because they don't have the mental capacity to grasp concepts like that.

The Tour of Italy is my favorite dish to order.
Every time we go to Olive Garden with the family I like to make a fun little event of it.
"pack your bags" I say to my wife "we're going on a tour!"
I grab my passport and head out the door.
We get to the restaurant in 10 minutes flat.
"WOW, Italy is a lot closer to home than I thought!"
When we get to the restaurant I ask the hostess "do I need to speak Italian here?" with a big grin. The hostess giggles and takes us to our table.
When we get seated at the restaurant the waiter takes our order.
"I'll have the tour of Italy" I exclaim. "Do you need to see my passport?" I say slyly. The waitress giggles and says she will bring out the breadsticks and salad soon.
The salad arrives and I get extra cheese on top per usual.
"starting off up north at the snow covered Italian Alps I see!" My wife groans but the waitress gets a giggle out of it.
The main course comes and it's just as beautiful as I remember it.
I grab my fork "Where do I even begin?!"
I take my fork and make airplane noises as I dive my fork down into the Chicken Parmigiana "Milan, you taste magnificent!"
"Next let's see Florence!" I direct my fork toward the signature Fettuccine Alfredo. It's like I can taste the culture without even seeing the city!
"Now for the grand finally, let's head down to Rome!"
My fork gobbles up the Lasagna Classico in seconds.
"Mama Mia! what a trip!"
We get the bill "wow a whole tour of Italy for only $14.99? what a bargain!"
The waitress seems pretty over it at this point but manages to crack a little smile as she takes my credit card. "Didn't even need to crack out the American Express! hah!"
As we leave I wave and exclaim "arrivederci!" to all the staff as we walk out the door.
What a great family restaurant.
