So today I was watching the Presidential Elections and was trying some Olive Garden foods. I tried the:

  • Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo with Grilled Chicken
  • Grilled Chicken Margherita
  • Spinach-Artichoke Dip
  • and Pumpkin Cheesecake

I was impressed and also not impressed with some of the items. I normally don’t eat at Olive Garden because I get the same type of foods from other places for cheaper. Also surprised they don’t have pizza on their menu, I could have sworn I tried pizza from here long ago.

My Review for Each Item 

Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo with Grilled Chicken

This was not bad, I really loved the cheesiness and the chicken mixed with it gave a nice kick of flavor. But, just like the rest of their dishes I feel like it was kind of small. I think 25% bigger in portion would make a big difference in enjoying this meal. It went good with the breadsticks and This is new on the menu. So, if you haven’t tried, give this a try, its not bad.

Grilled Chicken Margherita

This I’ve seen on the menu, but I never really was interested to try, this time I kind of wanted broccoli so I gave this a try. Well, I was kind of disappointed on this item because the broccoli seemed plain with no flavor. on their menu it says it is served with parmesan garlic broccoli. However, there was no parmesan and no garlic on the broccoli, I was picturing broccoli covered in cheese and garlic. Besides that, The portion was extremely small, I think something should be added to this item to make it complete. Something like carrots, some yummy cooked carrots would make this better. on top of that triple the amount of tomatoes it is served with. And that’s all for this item.

Spinach-Artichoke Dip

If I could say one word, it will be WOW! I love this dip and the bread. There is nothing to do to make this any better, it is just perfect. I have to get this with every meal just because it helps to fuel me up. The flatbread crisps make this dip super yummy and it has 5 different chesses, Nothing to say here, One Great Dip.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Oh! WoW! Super Delicious, I wish I could eat 5 at the same time. This cheesecake is pretty unique it got the cheesecake section and in the middle it seems like puffy pumpkin putting. I could taste the realness of the pumpkin, very yummy dessert and it is new on the menu. I always get this during this season time, give it a try, its some good addicting stuff.

Eggplant Parmigiana with Zuppa Toscana Soup & Lasagna Fritta & Breadsticks with 5 Cheese Marinara

The Eggplant Parmigiana was pretty boring, I mean the eggplants were too thick. I think it would taste better if they were thin and had more sauce and cheese on top. The Toscana soup was okay, felt very healthy and the spaghetti needed more sauce as well. I didn’t like the 5 cheese marinara sauce for the breadsticks, I think normal marinara would have been better. The Lasagna Fritta was okay, not bad, I liked how they came with marinara and alfredo sauces.
