I have been to Olive Garden countless times growing up. I've only been a handful of times in the past few years & usually it's for the soup, salad & breadsticks lunch. Yesterday was no different & that's exactly what my mom & I ordered. For our soup choice we went with minestrone. Their soup, salad & breadsticks are always consistently the same. The minestrone was good & had plenty of beans & veggies. Their salad is ok, I wish it had romaine & spinach, as opposed to all that iceberg, but I do like their dressing & croutons. The breadsticks are delicious but so fattening! I was good & only had 1, I could easily eat 5 or 6 of them. We also split the calamari. It was actually really good, lightly breaded & not at all greasy. Came with marinara & a parmesan-peppercorn sauce, both were yummy. Oh & I ordered the peach-raspberry iced tea, man was it sweet! Now don't get me wrong I LOVE sugar but this was definitely overkill. Total for our lunch was about $30.
