My sister and I came here the other day for a delicious birthday lunch. Of course we went into this with the intention of demolishing the soup, salad, breadstick meal and calling it a day. However, there is a fancy new additive for a couple bucks...a small plate of pasta!! WHAT?! Although in heinsight, it really was to much food. I barely finished my meal. Oh I finished it don't worry, but barely.
We both had the Zuppa Toscana soup which was delicious. Potatoes and sausage, what's not to like? Then I added the five cheese ziti and my sister had the chicken meatballs. Wow...it was so much food but oh so good. I honestly couldnt tell you the last time I was at Olive Garden before that, but now I'll be keeping it on my suggestion list.
Our waiter was awesome! Such a good sense of humor (which you need with the two of us), and he was on point with beverage refills. Very impressed. I will definitely be back here again soon to try some more of the new menu items.
A small P.S.
This review was going to have four stars until my Yelp event last night. After trying the new menu items and having, yet again excellent service, I immediately bumped this up to a well deserved five stars! Great work Olive Garden!
