I want to start by saying I LOVE LOVE LOVE Olive Garden. It's truly one of my all-time favorites and usually my go-to Italian place when I want something yummy and not want to worry about quality.
That's why I was SOOOOOO disheartened by this particular location. The waitress was awesome!! Best part of the night. BUT, the food was crap. Seriously, I almost sent my meal back because it was so freaking bad. I got the fetuccini alfredo. The pasta was severely over cooked. They noodles fell apart as I was trying to wind them around the fork to eat them. And the sauce was poorly seasoned (like no flavor whatsoever) as well as chunky. Have you ever had chunky alfredo sauce? I was thinking, what the heck did they use in this, cottage cheese?? Ewwww! That's all I have to say about that. My dining partner said his noodles were also mushy (I thought, maybe, it was just the fetuccini, but nope).
Save your money and eat somewhere else or go to a different Madison location because THIS one was so totally not worth it.
