Quote HistoryQuoted: Olive Garden sucks. I fly to Italy when I want Italian food. That, or I send one of my servants there to pick it up and bring it back. I would even accept you flying in a chef from Italy to prepare it in your home, but Olive Garden? Come on, OP. Funny you say that. Not all "real Italian" restaurants in Italy are good. I went to the restaurant just outside the Vatican (on the left next to the taxi stand - yes, people who have been there will know) and it was terrible. I had spaghetti. If only they had opened a can of SpaghettiOs, it would have been far better. I stayed at a bed and breakfast near the Vatican on the same trip. I almost vomited when I took a bite of sausage - spoiled beyond belief. Yeah, real Italian food ain't what I expected.

His new wife agreed so the next 4 days they only ate meat and cheese platters from various places and loved it so much they want to return just to eat meat and cheese platters. I'm not joking |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I haven’t eaten there in probably 4 years. The times I’ve been there I got exactly what I was expecting to get. Maybe my expectations are low. That being said no one with a room temperature IQ goes there to eat thinking it’s authentic. It’s cheap corporate Italian-American food. I don’t go to Little Caesar’s expecting a wood fired neapolitan pizza either. Little Ceasars is better than Lombardi's in NYC |

I miss the authentic breadsticks and other cuisine, but I'm conflicted since it's nice to know that some restaurants have standards these days! How did you get banned from olive garden?? |

We had the same experience in Milan leaving the train station for the hotel. It was a wild ride! Oh yeah my wife and I did not like most of the Italian food we had in Italy either. But the stuff I had in Paris was fantastic.

For really excellent but pricey Italian food in KC, try Cascone's. It's north of the river. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If Fazoli's only had beer, it would be a far better choice. You just order a sandwich at Fazoli's, and eat a little bit of it while getting as many free breadsticks down as possible, then take the rest of the sandwitch and as many breadsticks as you can home. Umm... Fazoli's There was one in Columbus, GA that was the bomb!!! Since then I've stopped like twice at one on my way through Tennessee, but meh, not as good as it used to be  I think they are opening up one north of me, I might make the drive just to check it out.

I can hear the OP's voice. "Dis Eyetalian' food is the best in the county. Oh Lord." JK JK. Olive Garden is alright for what it is. I like the Tour of Italy and their peach ice tea. There isn't any Olive Gardens close by. There is an excellent Italian restaurant 4 mins away from my place. Excellent Veal or chicken parmigiana with ravioli and garlic bread.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have been all over Italy and while we make fun of Olive Garden, I have had better Italian food at Olive Garden than many places in Italy. That being said, like most places I assume, the best places are the ones that are well away from many of tourist areas. I ran across a fantastic restaurant in Rome when I got lost there years ago. There were no tourists at it and no multi-language menu. It was all nicely dressed business people, not a single fat one too. It wasn't expensive. The food was amazing. Additionally, many of the best meals I had anywhere I traveled were the random mom & pop type places just off the road. I had some amazing Italian food in Ireland too. One restaurant was oddly enough run by some American hippies that grew everything they cooked on their farm. They learned their cooking styles in Italy and ended up in Ireland, go figure. Oh man. Now I am hungry. Copypasta? If not, it should be. |

Until last week, I'd not had Olive Garden in the last 5 years. I was sick, didnt want ro cook so I ordered chicken alfredo from the OG that opened last year. It was awesome. Probably had something to do with the fact that I was sick and the restaurant it came from is less than a year old and in the nice part of town, but damn if it wasnt exactly what I'd hoped it would be.
I may actually eat there again. |
