Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

If I could not give any stars I would. I called today to try to book a birthday party for my mother's 60th. She loves Olive Garden. The first person who answered didn't know if I could book a room for 20-25 people on a Saturday afternoon. She only knew I COULDNT do a Saturday evening. She said I should talk to the host. I waited on hold for 7 minutes. This was 11:15am on a Saturday. Another girl answers the phone and ask if she can help me. I told her I needed to book a birthday party. She said yeh you need to talk to the host. I said "ok am I talking to the host?" She said I was. Ok so what do I need to do to book a room? Well we can reserve a room for you. I asked if there was a fee. She said "what?" I asked again if there was a room fee. No there's no room fee. Ok how does the menu work? It's just a regular menu. Or whatever you want. I asked if there was someone I could talk to to get this organized before I show up that day. I'm from Chicago. She said I could talk to her manager. I wait on hold another 5 minutes and Julia answers. Julia says their manager is on a conference call and I should call back later. I won't be calling back later. Thanks.

We go here all the time. Love the unlimited bread sticks. The food is good and enough so you can have some for lunch tomorrow. And the staff has always been really nice.

We've been eating at Olive Gardens for years. We've eaten at this particular Olive Garden in Madison many, many times. It has usually been very good: a relaxing meal, served well, the food pretty consistently good.....UNTIL!! We were there yesterday after dropping our kid off at UW and moving all the stuff into the dinky student apartment. We were tired and somewhat sad and looking forward to a nice dinner. It didn't start well. Our waiter was a strangely aloof, indifferent guy who seemed to deign to wait on us when he had a moment. Plus, horror of horrors, there are now those little 'ziosk' thingies on each table, just like in a sports bar. We hate those things and so moved it to face the wall. However, when Aloof Guy came to take our order for an appetizer, he pointedly reached across me to get the apparatus and clicked in our app order. In other places where they have these dumb things, using them is optional. Salad and breadsticks came as usual. For my entree I ordered fish and shrimp in 'light wine sauce'. Our entrees came very quickly, we were not done with salads yet, but Aloof Guy didn't care. He just crowded the plates onto the table while we scrambled to make room. When I saw my fish I was immediately wary. The sauce looked like something you'd find at a cheap hotel buffet or a highschool cafeteria. I tasted it, and yup, tasted just like it looked. Very, very salty and with a strange, sourish taste to it. Plus the 'seasoned' broccoli was dry, practically raw and inedible. I politely and apologetically told Aloof Guy that I couldn't eat it and asked for the portobella ravioli, which I've had numerous times before. It's very rich, which is why I didn't order it in the first place. AG said he'd inform the manager and put in my order and then left, leaving the unappetizing plate of fish in yuck sauce in front of me. It took quite a while for him to realize that he'd left it there. Finally he came and got it and finally removed the empty plates from the appetizer and salads. The manager came by and asked about the problem with the fish. When I explained, she as much as told me I was mistaken, as that was her 'favorite'. She just loved that salty sauce! The ravioli finally came and - ah well - not in the sauce they sauce they usually were in - this was thin and broken ( showing the fat separated out). By this time I had given up. I'm assuming that this was just a bad day for the cook, but the aloof and uncaring waiter was a bit much. Also, when we were ready to pay, sure enough, he grabbed the ziosk thing again. I said, are you going to make us use that to pay? and he just firmly said, yes ma'am and left. It was a pain to figure out. So much for the relaxing dinner after a trying day. I guess we'll skip Olive Garden next time!

I went here last night with a group of my coworkers for dinner. It's been a long time that we've been to Olive Garden The food was pretty good and the wait staff was AMAZING. We had the following: Chianti Braised Short Ribs (it's was ok, the meat was a bit overcooked/dry not juicy, risotto a bit too much salt. Veggie seemed overcooked). Braised Beef & Tortelloni (really good, I was told my coworkers would get it again) Tender sliced short ribs and portobello mushrooms tossed with asiago-filled tortelloni in a basil-marsala sauce. Capellini di Mare (really good, didn't smell fishy, pasta was NOT aldente though, a bit overcooked for my taste). Grilled Shrimp Caprese (pretty good per my coworker, shrimps were not overcooked, pasta a bit overcooked). But the overall high rating for this place was more of our waiter Craig D. Can I tell you, we've NEVER had a wait staff being so attentive for our party of 5. He knew who got what, the timing of our drinks/salad/soups/main meals were on spot, like clockwork. He made sure our drinks/water was full, the bread was fresh and warm, salad and soup refills even without us asking for more. He made us feel like we were in a 5 star restaurant, really. What great service, next time when we're back in town we'd go back again!

They took the Sausage and Peppers Rustica off the menu once again.... Lame! My friend and I were given 2 different menus, mine was old and many of the items were no longer available. Thanks for getting my hopes up Olive Garden...
(3)Christina W.
It's silly to write about Olive Garden. It's Olive Garden. Though I have to agree about staff. There is one waitress that isn't my favorite, but the rest are super.

It's been over a month & I can not remember the servers name unfortunately. We arrived late on a Sunday evening on our way home from Minneapolis. After checking into our hotel we were pleasantly surprised the restaurant was still seating. We walked in and while there was no hostess a really great brunette server welcomed us and sat us in her section that was immediately left of the bar area & first booth on the left. We ordered the salad which is pretty much a given drenched with dressing. We asked if we could just get a piece of grilled chicken and al dente veggies our waitress said she would check. We never ask for special orders unless its clear that similar options are on the menu. She brought out a chef to hear what we wanted. We were blown away. She cared so much about getting the order right she got a chef out there. To his credit he rocked it. YUM! Grilled chicken & lightly cooked veggies were perfect. We asked our waitress to please let him know how much we appreciated his efforts & how good they were.

Stay away. This place is terrible. Rude waiter that never came back (he was too busy talking with his friends using foul language). This wasn't the first time either we've had bad service, but the final straw. We ended up taking our food to go. When we complained we were told that a manager would be contacting us later- yeah that never happened. It's a shame this place was very good when it first opened, but alas it is now a seeping pile of garbage.

One of the employees stole my sons wallet. He left it at the table and with in a half hour is disappeared. The management are not willing to do anything about this and say that it just disappeared and that their employees do not steal. I have managed restaurants, and theft is quite common. Ever watch restaurant undercover on Foodnetwork. The management actually laughed at me that i would think the employees would steal.
(1)Frank C.
Yes, it's a chain. Is it top of the line? No. But the quality has greatly improved over the years and the service as well. They handle groups well. This place is always on the list for my office to have lunch. I recommend it.

This is a reliable consistent place to eat. Mario Batali might scoff but you know what this isn't New York, and your looking for food off the side of the interstate. The service was excellent, we started with Lasagna Fritta(Parmesan-breaded lasagna pieces, fried and served over alfredo sauce, topped with parmesan cheese and marinara sauce) this was real good. YUMMY! The wife ordered the chicken dumpling soup. I ordered a salad. chicken dumpling soup is a traditional dish, that is very simple to prepare, and excels when done with perfection. This one was not. UGH! The dumplings were doughy tasting blobs. The soup had a off taste to it. The salad was ok. For dinner I ordered Manicotti Formaggio with Chicken(Ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan cheese and herbs, baked in pasta rolls with marinara sauce) and the wife ordered Stuffed Chicken Marsala(Oven-roasted chicken breast stuffed with Italian cheeses and sun-dried tomatoes, topped with mushrooms and a creamy marsala sauce. Served with garlic parmesan mashed potatoes). Both dishes tasted good, and were served hot. YUMMY!

I'm giving this Olive Garden 5 stars mainly because of the server we had. Matt did a superb job at making sure we had a pleasant meal. I also was amazed at the fact that the parking lot was jam packed and yet we only had to wait 5-10 min to be seated. So ask for Matt when you go for dinner.

Another chain establishment. The sad thing is that we "tried" to go to Red Lobster first, but were repelled by the large crowd of waiting people. No, I don't want to stand around like cattle waiting for my pager to buzz so I can be ushered to a cramped seat, fed, branded, and ushered out again stampede style. The mighty gods of chain restaurants everywhere are wagging their fingers at me right now saying, "what do you expect lady?" I know, I know. So we went to Olive Garden down the street. No wait there. Our waitress was very young, I'll refer to her as "Sparky". My dining companion had a sudden need to try some wine, so he asked Sparky what would pair well with the lasagna. She didn't come across confident as she pointed to the list of wines on the menu that mister dining companion was holding. She finally chose one and said that it would go well with the "meaty" dish. I'm not sure what either one of us was expecting because after all this is Olive Garden and we have almost zero knowledge of wines. So de-classA!! After Sparky left our table, dining companion says that he expects the chosen wine to be the suck because Sparky doesn't look like she's even old enough to drink, let alone have knowledge of the fine wines. But you know, none of this really matters when you consider the fact that compared to her we are old as dirt, and still don't know shit about wine. I had the eggplant Parmesan with Alfredo sauce. It usually comes with marinara, but if I'm going to have a heart attack it had better well be because of something I enjoyed eating, not something I felt like I had to eat in the name of my health! Hell no! Dining companion had his red wine something or other, and he was right it sucked. He described it as tasting like, "the barrel it came out of". After the main course I had the seasonal pumpkin cheesecake. I made sure to look in a direction where no one could see my face before I crossed my eyes from sheer delight. I am a pumpkin lovin' nerd by nature, and this cheesecake was gooood. So this chain experience wasn't too bad. The only thing that sucked was no refill on the bread sticks. If I'm going to go slummin' at the chain restaurants, I expect the constant refills man. Especially on those items they advertise as "bottomless" and/or "never-ending". Finally, Sparky took a long time to bring by the check, and this goes against the code of chain fine dining, wham, bam, thank you mam. Touche!

soup, salad and breadsticks. we were in and out in 20 min with two bowls of soup each. watch out, the drinks will get you. soft drinks and iced tea are like $2.50 each.

Now yes I know it is yet another Olive Garden but I really felt it necessary to comment on this location. I frequent this location when going to my families lake house in Portage. I must say this location really stands alone. The staff is outstanding and the service and food is always top notch. If it was closer to Chicago this staff could easily go and work at any of the top restaurants here in Chicago.

I was hungry so I stopped in. Not hard to be seated at 4:30PM. FIrst time at an OG. Salty, doughy breadsticks. Minestrone OK. Eggplant parmesan, greasy, boring cheese. The red sauce, peppery but no substantial flavor. Chicken parmesan. Might as well walk down the street, head into McDonald's, pay one fifth the price and order some chicken nuggets. "Have we arrived at our taste destination?" Huh? No, we aren't in Italy. Italian food is light years beyond what is served at OG. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. If you can't do the basics correctly, how are the other dishes fare? This chain of restaurants is one of many contributing to American obesity. Quantity vs. quality. "Unlimited soup, breadsticks" makes you think you got a bargain. I think not. I left full, but I can get full at McDonald's too. Americans don't know the difference any more.

I cooked there for three years, and I was amazed at how many of the ingredients were imported from Italy. The two biggest problems with the Olive Garden are: 1) it was never intended to be true Italian cuisine-true Italian cuisine is a lot less tomato-based sauces and a lot less beef- more white sauces, seafood etc. It's like Chinese food in America-it's not true Chinese cuisine, it's Chinese-American cuisine. Example: Chow mein doesn't exist in China This is Italian-American cuisine. Example: pepperoni doesn't exist in Italy. 2) The recipes have to be so simplified so almost anyone can make them. Having said these things (and I've spent time in Southern Italy & Sicily) the end result is pretty decent. I was never ashamed of the hundreds of meals I cooked, even though they were sometimes less than completely authentic.

Our main complaint was that it was hot in the restaurant. This was about noon and the air conditioning was off or not working. This was just a couple of days ago. I enjoyed the food, the wine, and the waitress was top notch. But I was boiling right along with the pasta.
(2)Emma H.
If you love Italian, I'm sure you can find something you like from their menu. I didn't like it here when I got spaghetti as a kid or when I came back with my mom and got fettuccini Alfredo. But, as an appetizer, I got dumpling soup which was enough to get me to come back. I ended up going back with my boyfriend and getting lasagna and now we go there whenever we can afford it. (It is pretty pricey.) I can definitely say it's my favorite restaurant now. They're breadsticks are also to die for.(;

Went last night. Our server was great, sweet and attentive. They offer a 9.99 pasta choice which I really liked. You choose the pasta, sauce and meat. For the price it was good and the portion was large. The booths are a little tight so will sit at a table next time. The food isn't as spicey as I like but it was ok. Their deserts look very good but didn't have room
(4)Elizabeth R.
Olive Garden is Olive Garden. What can you say? On this visit, I was with a group of 8 people. It was insanity. They sat us at two tables which made a weird shape. A circle and a square? The ability to converse was difficult. Our server was so overwhelmed. He should have had some help. Then again, obviously, it is Olive Garden. Same as usual.
