Traditional dishes and all -you-can-eat salad, soup and bread sticks are the draw at this upscale-casual Italian restaurant..
In Short
Established in 1982, this chain gained a following for its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions. Patrons settle into comfortable booths and tables in dining rooms with

Entrees include classics like lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana. There are also "Garden Fare" options, which promise 30 percent fewer calories.…

Ha Ha Ha. This is not an Italian restaurant people, get real. Most of their food comes in pre-packed frozen doggie bags. This place is a lesson is pre-packaged grub for cattle.
Italian yum. Olive garden has a comfortable, yet fancy atmosphere. Their food tastes very professional, very good.
