| - If it weren't for a gift card we probably would not eat at Olive Garden. Our last experience in Flagstaff, AZ was not good. The food was awful! BUT, we have a gift card, so we give Olive Garden one more try. This particular restaurant has only been open a short time. The building looks very nice on the outside. Well, the inside is different than other Olive Garden spots. Very nice!!! The greeters were right there and eating at 4:30 meant no wait. Ken took us to our seat and told us about the never-ending pasta ......and he made a personal recommendation...said he's had it many times in a row...it's that good. (pomodoro sausage)
We were then greeted by Luanna who offered us wine and then took our drink orders. When she came back we placed our order. I had the salad, which is always good. My husband had the Pasta Fagioli soup. He said it was really good, especially compared to the last time he had it (in AZ). The breadsticks were served HOT. We were offered refills, which we took. Luanna came back to see if we wanted more and we said no thanks...need to save room for dinner. We had spaghetti with meat sauce, which was very tasty and Penne Sausage Pomodoro which also was really good. It was served, steaming hot and in a timely manner. When we were finished, she asked if we were ready for more but the portion was generous and there was no way we could eat another bite..She asked if we had room for desert but there was no way. IT was a great meal for $9.99 each!!!!!!!!
So yes, we will be back to THIS Olive Garden!!!
