| - I hadn't been to this Olive Garden in a good while. I arrived to see a GORGEOUS makeover had been done. The atmosphere is stunning, relaxing, and reminds me of my days in Italy.
When the server asks you if you would like to sample the wine, you should take them up on it. I was pleasantly surprised with a wine I probably never would have tried.
My favorite appetizers have always been the calamari, stuffed mushrooms, and spinach-artichoke dip. Having them as a favorite, I never reached out to try new ones....but I finally did and am so glad I did! The lasagna fritta is amazing! It's fried lasagna noodles with ricotta cheese, alfredo sauce on the bottom and marinara on the top. Delicious! I had finally tried the fried ravioli and fried mozzarella, too. Amazing! So my decisions just became more complicated :) !
And don't be afraid to try the very delicious soups. My to go soups have always been chicken and gnocchi and zuppa toscano! But I finally tried the pasta e fagioli and minestrone. Now I KNOW all of the soups are delicious!
What I enjoy most on the menu is the Seafood Alfredo. It is fettucini with alfredo sauce, shrimp and scallops. However, I recently tried the Ravioli di Portobello, which is ravioli filled with Portobello mushroom and has a cheesy sauce over it. It's quite delicious!!!
If you get the chance to have the Watermelon Sangria....I would recommend that highly, especially on a hot day! It's light and refreshing! I have always liked Olive Garden, but am especially happy for having the guts to try new things, because now I have even more to choose from when I go :) !
