If you need a quick reasonably priced lunch and you’ve got a big appetite, their soup and salad special is far superior to fast food and not all that bad. Unlimited garlic breadsticks, unlimited salad, unlimited soup, two kinds, Pasta Fagioli or Zuppa Toscana. The rest of their food is too formulaic and institutional for the price. The lunch special soup and salad is really the only thing I ever get there.
You got that right!
You can’t beat Olive Garden’s all you can eat soup and salad.
The chicken and gnocchi is my absolute favorite. I just love the broth.
My opinion as well. The biggest issue I have with the entree's is it doesn't taste fresh. I'd guess the pasta is frozen and the sauces come in plastic bags. Nothing more than heat-n-eat in their kitchen.
