Best of Olive Garden Restaurants

When you want delicious authentic Italian-American food, a warm family atmosphere, and great service come home to the Olive Garden.

Old World, Italian style, foliage lacing the tasteful decor, stucco walls and Italian and Italian-American themed music are only a few of the finer details Olive Garden is known for. Have a seat and munch on breadsticks as you look through the expansive menu. For starters how about a Chicken & Gnocchi soup, a creamy dish made with roasted chicken, traditional Italian dumplings, and spinach. Pair it with a grilled chicken Caesar to open up your taste buds for the main course.

If you're in the mood for pasta, try the Eggplant Parmigiana made with gently breaded eggplant before it's fried and topped with parmesan sauce and marinara sauce, all served on a bed of spaghetti. If seafood is what your appetite is calling for, then the Capellini di Mare may be just the things you need. Clams, shrimp, and mussels sauted in garlic, white wine, and a zesty marinara sauce. It's also topped with fresh basil and served over capellini.

For something simple and traditional, the Olive Garden has a variety of pizzas, including some that you can create yourself from bell peppers, pepperoni, onions, Italian sausage, mushrooms, black olives, and roma tomatoes. The Chicken Alfredo Pizza comes topped with Italian cheese, grilled chicken, scallions, Italian sauce and is served with either unlimited homemade soup or garden-fresh salad.

If you still have room, why not have dessert! The new Warm Apple Crostata comes with rich vanilla cream, sliced apples, and caramelized almond biscotti crumble baked on top of a shortbread cookie crust. This delicious warm dish is served with vanilla ice cream. Chocolate fiends will enjoy the Triple Chocolate Strata. This is a traditional Italian chocolate torta piled high with creamy mousse and crowned with rich dark chocolate ganache.

The Olive Garden also has a selection of Italian coffees, specialty drinks, and wine as well as an assortment of non-alcoholic beverages including Strawberry-Mango Limonata, Bella Limonata, Bellini Peach-Raspberry iced tea, and fruit juices.

And remember, "when you're here, you're family."
