So, Trice and I decided to spice up our dining routine and hit up Olive Garden in Glorietta 3 for the first time ever. Let me tell you, it was a flavor-packed rollercoaster that left us both amazed and stuffed!
As we entered Olive Garden, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant’s friendly staff made us feel right at home, which set the stage for a remarkable dining experience.
Imagine my delight when I discovered that Olive Garden offers unlimited servings of their delicious soup, salad, and breadsticks! This unexpected twist elevated our dining experience to a whole new level.
Now, let me share with you my personal favorites from Olive Garden’s latest classic entrees. The first dish that caught my attention and won me over was the Roasted Herb Chicken. The half-a-chicken, expertly roasted with a delightful blend of herbs and spices, was a true culinary masterpiece. Paired with marbled potatoes, carrots, and an irresistibly flavorful mushroom gravy, this dish became an instant favorite of mine.
My second favorite is the Italian Braised Short Ribs. I couldn’t resist the allure of the fork-tender braised beef infused with robust Italian herbs. The tender meat, complemented by the carrots, created a harmonious symphony of flavors that left me wanting more.
If you’re like me and have a soft spot for the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean, you’re in for a treat with the Mediterranean Chicken. This dish pays homage to the rich culture and cuisine of the region. The chicken is infused with zesty lemon, savory capers, and a medley of peppers. With every bite, you’re transported to sun-soaked shores and charming villages, savoring the essence of the Mediterranean.
Our journey wouldn’t be complete without a nod to the picturesque Tuscan region. The Chicken Tuscany dish captures the rustic charm and robust flavors that Tuscan cuisine is famous for. A golden fried boneless leg quarter chicken takes center stage, accompanied by a symphony of flavors. Sundried tomatoes, a creamy mushroom spinach sauce, and the rich notes of parmesan cheese come together to create a harmonious and satisfying dish.
Although I was already full from the delightful dishes I had savored, I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret that I wasn’t able to try the renowned “Tour of Italy.” However, the friendly staff reassured me that there would always be a next time, and I made a mental note to return soon to indulge in this popular platter. I have no doubt that the combination of Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna Classico, and Fettuccine Alfredo will be a taste sensation to remember.
Wrapping up our amazing meal at Olive Garden with a touch of sweetness, we couldn’t resist diving into their irresistible Italian doughnuts. These delightful bites were the ideal way to cap off our taste adventure. From savory delights to heavenly desserts, Olive Garden definitely has the knack for turning every moment into a lasting memory.
Apart from the amazing food, our time at Olive Garden was made even better by hanging out with our blogger buddies.
Overall, our first experience at Olive Garden was absolutely delightful. The new classic entrees, coupled with their never-ending soup, salad, and breadsticks, provided a feast for our palates.
If you’re looking for a restaurant that offers classic Italian-American dishes with a twist, combined with a warm and inviting atmosphere, I highly recommend Olive Garden. Whether you’re trying it for the first time, or you’re a devoted fan, Olive Garden will always satisfy your cravings and create memorable dining experiences.
