What do you think of the food at Olive Garden?
Their food sucks the bone.... Wouldn't feed that garbage to my dog.
Over priced TV dinners
I’m an Italian. We don’t eat there. It’s like an insult to our heritage. If we want to go out for Italian food, then we go to a real Italian restaurant. There are plenty of them around. They are small, mostly family-owned businesses that need your support.
I enjoy eating at the Olive Garden. It may not be authentic Italian but it is good.
People that go to Olive Garden know exactly what they’re getting in for the few times you might go. It really is a good meal.
They compare it to a fine dining Italian place, rather than a budget friendly, good sized portion and good taste place that it is. I dont go to fast food places because I am watching my cholesterol or sodium. I am there to watch my beer gut get larger
I heard a chef say once that if you’ve only ever eaten at Olive Garden then you’ve never actually eaten authentic Italian food.
But it's still good af. That's like the people that hate on Taco Bell for not being authentic. It's it's own thing
I think anyone could tell you that. You don't need to be a chef.
Being half sciclan I live olive garden. But my sister says your Italian don't eat there. Yes I am but I love olive garden 5 stars
Don't care because that chef doesn't feed me.
Let’s be honest, people don’t go to Olive Garden for the quality 💀
And of course my 2 favorite olive garden dishes are heart attacks waiting to happen
Thanks for using the MST3K clip about Sodium.
Ok, I guess I could skip breakfast and lunch, and do an early dinner if I were to go out to eat at The Olive Garden, TOI :D.
I miss the chicken marsala and roasted vegetables.
I know the food at Olive Garden is not authentic Italian but I love it. Especially the soups and eggplant Parmesan.
I like their soup and salad, I don't bother with the rest..
I think most know it isn't authentic Italian, but how many authentic restaurants are there close to me that I can afford?
Oh yeah, there is none..
If I want authentic, I'll either learn to make it or go without..
It's okay
You get an adequate meal at an adequate price.
20.99 for chicken Alfredo isn’t an adequate price. The prices have gotten out of control for shit ass food
You don’t add salt to water for seasoning, you add it so its boiling point raises and you can properly cook the pasta. 🤦🏻♂️ how are these people in the restaurant business?!?!? It’s the same reason you put salt in the ice water you use when making ice cream so the water’s temperature profile gets stretched out
Glorified tv dinners at 5x the grocery store price, whoo!
I work at Olive Garden they do cook their soup that day
I hardly cook with salt as i use other spices. I never salt or oil pasta water.
I only had olive garden 3 times in different states. I dont care for them. I live where we have lots of mom and pop italian restaurant.
My mom made good italian food. Were not even italian.
I haven’t been there in so long bc they got rid of my favorite dish…pomodoro.
same here!
me too!
All these restaurants are overpriced. With a little skill you can make this at home for 1/5 of the price. A plate that costs $15 there will cost you $3 at home, and it'll be bigger and better with no chemicals..
Agree😊
$3??? Spaghetti sauce alone is like $4. Then you need the noodles. Granted it'll be cheaper than $15 but a little more than $3 lol
It would be great if olive garden would give you an even number of breadsticks when you ask !!
The first and only time I went I got a used napkin in my salad I got up walked out and never went back again
That place is the McDonald’s of Italian food.
I am deploring the restaurant completely while simultaneously wanting to eat every single plate that you have shown on screen. I want all of it.
I like Olive Garden and the salad is very good. Love Italian food very good there It's not near me now so I have to drive a distance.
I could feed a family of four for less than the price of one meal at OG; salad, spaghetti with chicken and red sauce, bread sticks, and the pasta would be cooked in salted water, the Parmesan authentic.
I've eaten at Olive Garden about three times, and that was over 15 years ago. Have to say it was not good, I did like the bread sticks.
Very expensive for pasta. I always get the salad and soup. Never the pasta. My husband says my lasagna and spaghetti is the best.
Always add salt before cooking pasta. Everybody knows that.
Always!
I don't use salt or oil in my pasta. It tastes fine plain, with Pocatello Romano cheese or various sauce I use or make.
I don’t know, those fast food burgers are getting expensive.
Must slightly reduce salt.
The ads are insane. The only good thing, is the bread sticks and salad.
Go to Olive Garden when on the road. Only ever get soup, salad and breadsticks. Almost as quick as a fast food stop.
For valid pros and cons on food items I would rather defer to "Reviewbra, and his Report of the Day" to give me his unfettered and unbiased expert opinions about a food item either good or bad!
Why do you tease me with Tour of Italy prices from 20 years ago?
I used to work at Olive garden in the late 90s. The only thing I couldn't eat anymore is the dressing of the house salad.🍽️🥗
Please tell me why?? I’m heading to Olive Garden for lunch today
I only went there one time....thats all it took when I received precooked spaghetti that had hot water thrown over it to make it warm...chewed like bubble gum😮
I agree with u. It is ridiculous how much we pay and get crappy food.
Ya.... when u cook over 30lb+ of pasta @ 8am for the day that called prep for your shift what ever kitchen does but there's no no pots lol lol there are boiler machines like a fryer but for water overflow drain old and fresh water put in ftom top and salt shit texas roadhouse does same thing 1 teaspoon kalsher salt per bake potatoe that also rubbed in fresh bacon greese drrain from bacon that day or day before sweet potatoe get same love but no salt but more sugar then u want from sauce
As an American of mainly British descent, Olive Garden IS Italian dining.
I love Olive Garden. I love chicken parmesan the best. I don't go to often anymore because I am 80 and can't drive very far anymore.
Vid keeps stopping 😡.
Yes- this is a massive chain, in America; so many aspects of what most Italisn restsurants serve here is Americanized. This is chain-ized, adapted further fot volume sales.
The salt in a meal there is off the charts: I suspect that is how they hold people back from reordering much in the all you can eat features.
Do a video reveral of the salt content in everything. It's enough to choke a person. Drinks anyone?
Even with much less overall salt in well made Italian food, the pasta IS cooked in salted water.
That practice of pre-cooking pasta is standard restaurant practice. (Maybe in Italy too?) This is not your Mom’s kitchen.There are probably higher tier restaurants that don’t do that but I wouldn't know!
Still better than Bob Evans. Extra crunchy stir fry! With broken glass included? What I got? Years ago. In Toledo. Ohio?
Sorry, but people are to soft in this country. I look at these comments, and all these people are basically saying is "I don't care what's in the food" well considering the amount of fat, salt, and more than questionable ingredients. I personally think it's garbage, never mind the stroke, and cancer I had at only 37. Means I just can't go eat whatever I want. I'm pretty sure that GMO's are in the food to, as we are virtually the only country in the world that allows genetically engineered food to be given to it's population. Oh, I almost forgot. . We have the highest rates of cancer, diabetes, and obesity in the entire world. But hey, go ahead, eat up
maybe the USDA should relook at the guidelines and try to INCREASE the recommended amount of sodium consumed daily 😊😊😊😊😊😊
The food triangle they put out is shaped like a piece of pizza.......
O. G. Is American food.
Well, corporate!
I got 2.5 minutes in and none of this is "shady" this video is stupid.
Olive Garden is mediocre. With the prices being raised because of inflation, chicken Alfredo in my area costs 24 dollars. I make it better and so much cheaper at home. I can’t wait for all these nasty overpriced chains to go out of business. Red lobster was first and Olive Garden will follow.
Garbage food you wouldn't feed it to a dog....
The food at Olive Garden is garbage. Pure poorly conceived and presented second rate swill.
