Their sauces are good, their soups are good, you may get a butt-ton of salad on the side but it's not a horrible quality salad. Overall, there are much worse places I have eaten.

You could do worse, but that's because it's basically impossible to gently caress up any combination of starch + cheese + oil.

This is true but as someone who grew up in NJ where there's a surfeit of great Italian-American food I just can't force myself to eat it.

Speaking as an Italian-Sicilian, Olive Garden's the McDonald's of Italian food. I can cook better and tastier at home.

I really like Olive Garden salad. It's horribly unhealthy but goddamn it's always crunchy and the dressing is pretty drat good too. And peperoncinis should just be put in loving everything.

For a place that advertises itself on pasta you'd think they would at least make the pasta correctly. (They don't even boil it with salt).

olive garden might be a poor use of money since it's just alright and costs the same as much better places. on the other hand you can get all the nutritional info reliably unlike the good italian restaurant that probably tastes better. if you're trying not to be a fatass this could be important, or you could just run marathons all the time i guess
