    Fast casual is a great middle ground when you want something quick but a little more elevated than fast food without breaking the bank. These type of restaurants are crucial to the every day ecosystem so to say lol

    That was our college budget eat out. We chowed down on breadsticks and soup, then packed up the entree to go. We could get a couple of meals out of the entree later.

    There's an Olive Garden around the corner from my house my wife and I frequented when we were dating back in the early 90s. We still go there occasionally now, and I believe prices are decent. For a little more upscale casual dining Italian experience, I'd prefer Maggiano's Little Italy.

    I like Olive Garden they are one of the few chains that haven’t gone down the trash can the past decade. I love their imported wine, the Chicken Marsala, salad, their appetizers. If you don’t want to spend $300 bucks on a Ruth Chris date, Olive Garden is a nice date option for under $150. Fellas you can get some loving after an Olive Garden date as long as it’s a quality location, my husband always does 🤭

    Took my son to the one in Mentor recently. Our waiter was awesome,The food was delicious. But someone brought their baby in at 10pm and he screamed his freaking head off!!! It was that awful toddler screech, and the mom just kinda sat there and let him scream. We packed up our stuff to go, and they even gave us a free dessert. I love olive garden! Also, ask for Alfredo dipping sauce for your breadssticks.

    I love the fettucine Alfredo. At one point you could pick from a few different pastas and I used to love the Cavatappi but things can never stay the same. Highly recommend the Alfredo sauce dipping sauce for the bread sticks too. Also for desert only the Tiramisu. Oh yeah the best appetizer is the Bruschetta. My friend got me loving that. Its basically just little pieces of toast and you spoon tomatoes, olive oil, and herbs over it. Its amazing.

    I’m from Youngstown and despite my name being Carlos, I’m African American, not Italian or Hispanic. I never went to Olive Garden until my 20s mainly because my grandparents didn’t think it was all that. Hell I remember my grandma saying, “There’s too many Italians and Italian places in Youngstown for us to go to Olive Garden.”

I certainly did not remember I ordered small plates and I remember saying to myself, if I live, and nothing happens when I leave here I won’t be back to get to it as a Christmas present last year one of the coworkers gave me an Olive Garden gift card😂😂😂😂😂
