    How many think Olive Garden is Italian Food?

    LOL! Not!

    Processed dough with ketchup, and a hint of garlic. Nasty! Nasty!

    I understand some people may not have access to authentic Italian, but when you do you will know what I am talking about.

    Someone had a get together at an Olive Garden yesterday, I ordered the bottled water and it was not half bad.

    I think Carrabas is more Italian, i'm not too big on pastas but they have a few good things.

      I got stuck eating there once when I was on tour many years ago(the tour bus stops and you only have a couple places to choose from-so it was that or fast food.) I can't say it was awful because it didn't really have any taste. Nothing like Italion food(I grew up eating the real deal-my mother is from Italy.)

        Why not just eat at East Side Mario's... That's pretty Italian... Ha...
        I've never eaten at the Garden... Normally, that wouldn't stop me from cutting something up... but I'm feeling fair today...

          I've been there once, and I thought it was crap food. I thought it was just because I was in the only Canadian Olive Garden.. but I guess it's just as good as the american ones.

            For some great Italian food...

            Go to a little place on Mullberry St in little Italy New York City.
            It's called "La Mela"

              I remember going to the Olive Garden several years ago and it wasn't too bad, not authentic but what I ordered was pretty good.
              Went there earlier this year and I'm pretty sure I ordered the same thing (I always order mushroom ravioli) and it was not good at all. And it was served luke warm at best. Even their salad tasted crappy.

              Maybe my tastes have changed, or maybe like every other big chain restaurant they have just don't care anymore. Who knows.

                      Olive Garden is the McDonald's of Italian Food.

                          The Olive Garden in Abbotsford/Mission?

                          Not a bad place considering... You are in Abbotsford.

                            It's fast food Italian, or about as fast food as Italian can get. It's good to take your screaming kids to join in with other screaming kids.

                            Nothing will ever replace the little dive Italian restaurants, they produce sparks of heaven in your mouth.

                                Looks like Anthony and I are thinking alike.

                                Speaking of McDonald's, does anyone remember when they tried to do Italian and would actually serve you at your table?

                                Spend you some brain.

                                  My goodness no, that is NOT what I would consider Italian. I ate their once many many years ago and couldn't believe the place had repeat patrons and still operating.

                                    I grew up in an Italian family so an Italian chain restaurant was unheard of to me until college. When I tried Olive Garden I couldn't get past the first bite.

                                    It SUCKS.

                                    If you want great Italian food, skip the Mulberry St. tourist traps and go to the REAL Little Italy in NYC...Belmont-Arthur District in the Bronx.

                                          in Langley, yes that's a good point, but there is some nice stuff coming up in the area. I always just wanted to try it out.


                                          Btw, is this normal for olive garden to do? My gf wanted to take her food home, and they dump the food into the takehome box right in front of your table? It was the strangest thing to me...

                                            Alot of places do that. Some just give you the box, and you do it yourself.

                                                Speaking of McDonald's, does anyone remember when they tried to do Italian and would actually serve you at your table?
                                                Have you started training?!

                                                      No way. Only the mom and pop Italian restaurants are real authentic Italian food.

                                                          Go to a little place on Mullberry St in little Italy New York City.

                                                          I've been there a few times. Best Italian dining experience you can get... IMO.

                                                            Just like black Angus is not really a good steak house.
                                                            Nor does hooters have good wings.
                                                            Wienersnitzel isnt a hot dog place.
                                                            Taco bell is just Americanized Mexican food.
                                                            Red Lobster is not really a seafood place of quality.

                                                            Yet keep in mind if Chef Boyardee did not start canning and selling ravioli most would not have a damn clue about Italian food anyways.

I had La Mela the first time I went to NYC and ended up dining there 2 out of the 4 nights of my stay. You have no idea what is on the menu from night to night.. they just start bring out courses. Yum.

                                                                    Just like black Angus is not really a good steak house.
                                                                    Nor does hooters have good wings.
                                                                    Wienersnitzel isnt a hot dog place.
                                                                    Taco bell is just Americanized Mexican food.
                                                                    Red Lobster is not really a seafood place of quality.

                                                                    Yet keep in mind if Chef Boyardee did not start canning and selling ravioli most would not have a damn clue about Italian food anyways.

                                                                    Please stop making so much logical sense in your comparisons, people may catch on and then know the difference between good and bad food.
