    I don't know what's wrong with me, but I'm still an Olive Garden sympathizer, resisting foodie peer pressure to bash them gleefully. A forgotten $25 gift card prompted Kay and I to journey to the OG that started the love affair over a decade ago when my sister and her then beau wanted to reward my unemployed ass for helping them move. How they actually prepare their food, I couldn't tell you. I am not privy to what goes on in their kitchens, but one taste of their tender, cornmeal-coated calamari (their best appetizer) dipped in that ranchy parmesan-peppercorn sauce, and I no longer care. When they bring out the chilled salad chock-full of tomatoes, greens, onions, and croutons that is skillfully tossed with that exceedingly delicious vinaigrette vs. Caesar dressing, my bias against chains is diffused, and I come to realize that Marilyn Hagerty's humble, Plain-English words are truth --that she is not to be ridiculed. Braised Beef & Tortelloni was something I had yet to try, and when it came to our table, my gastronomic heart beat loudly for the short ribs fell apart with minimal chewing as did the portobello mushrooms, the very fungi that rival sirloin in sheer heartiness. The al dente pasta, filled with asiago, wallowed euphorically in a severely savory basil-marsala sauce. Some sour cream could have turned this into a dandy Beef Stroganoff. A slightly freezer-burnt (or not entirely thawed?) Tiramisu let me down a little, but its creaminess and coffee-laden flavors couldn't be quelled by some ice-flakes. If those preparing OG's dishes are not really cooking, then they are brilliant illusionists, fooling the public (or at least me) into thinking they truly wield culinary magic...or microwaves? Again, I don't know and don't give a bean. The food was tasty on my end. P.S. The service here was spot-on. P.P.S. That inaugural visit I mentioned was made memorable by a Drew Carey lookalike with a terrific personality and sense of humor. P.P.P.S. Spare me the snarky, "A-ha! You don't know food" messages in which yinz pitifully attempt to "debunk" me. It's not as if I value your opinions, do I? P.P.P.P.S. I still dig those breadsticks.

    I'm not sure when the food quality dropped off from the last yelp event we attended at the Green Tree location and yesterday's visit to the Pleasant Hills location, but The OG is back to their usual, boring self save for the interactive table computers you now get to play with. You actually order your own appetizers without any waitress interaction. Wow, isn't THAT what you've always wanted? Let's go out to a restaurant and listen to loud talkers & screaming babies while we quietly order our own food... Nope, I'm NOT a fan. We had been craving pasta for some time now so when my wife suggested the OG last night, I said, Let's GO! We were seated promptly as they weren't very busy but unlike other restaurants where they try to seat you NOT on top of other diners, here they led us, or as it actually looked, they HERDED US, into the back corner of the restaurant. The front half was pretty deserted, but they wanted us to sit right up next to a table of 'fillers'. You know the type- the people that sit down, adjust the table to their preference, spread their chairs out till their short dinosaur arms can barely reach the table, but so that their belly actually fits in between the table & their spine, completely inconsiderate of other diners... Yea- the hostess tried to seat us butted right up against their table. Nope, I don't think so. We suggested another table, leaving that one as a buffer zone. Here a friendly waitress came over and made us feel very welcome. She introduced us to 'table-tron' which I declined, and asked if she would mind it all that much taking our order herself. She politely accepted but still had to enter our appetizer order into table-tron. Then I told her we were even ready to order our entrees, which she said don't get entered into table-tron but get written down and hand delivered to the kitchen. Let me jump ahead, if I may... Why is it that restaurants NEVER ask you if you are ready for your entrees? They deliver the App then mid-bite race back to the kitchen to pick up your entrees... Our App was a combo calamari (which was DELICIOUS), crab stuffed shrooms and fried zucchini. The shrooms were still bubbling from the broiler when delivered and the zucchini were as hot as molten lava. We had just enough time to take a couple bites of calamari and I burned my tongue off on a zucchini when the waitress delivered the entrees. Wow, that was a good thing because (sarcasm alert) I CERTAINLY didn't want to actually eat the App right there in the store. On to the Entrees... Kim ordered the create your own pasta and added sausage links & meatballs, yes, I laughed because I knew she would be full even before the entrée arrived. Hers came out looking like the angel hair which she specially ordered had been in the water SO long it was swelled to the size of regular spaghetti... but it was DRY. Of course it had the sauce & sausage & meatballs on it but do they keep their pasta under a heatlamp drying out till someone orders it, then they dump it on & send it out? The sausage tasted decent but the meatballs were straight from Sysco. Why order them out when they taste exactly the same if you cook them at home? I order the tour of Italy. Penne with some kind of orange sauce, chicken with moz & provo cheese and lasagna. The chicken was some sort of combination between grilled breast and chix patty. It was about as big as a fist but perfectly thin, about a half inch thick. Do they slice it on a deli meat slicer? Looks like it. The lasagna was not what I was expecting. Stouffers lasagna comes out of the pan looking better than this stuff. It almost looked like they took a tablespoon of ricotta and plated it, layed a 4" piece of noodle over it, added a little sauce & repeated one more time. This display of non-Italian cooking would send every single REAL Italian into cardiac arrest. Even my mother who has absolutely no Italian in her blood-line makes a Rolls Royce compared to this Hugo. The salad is the only reason I would return to this location, as the breadsticks are again disappointing. They taste like Sysco as well, frozen not fresh, dense & not light & airy, warmed in an oven. Add the OG to the list of places not to go back to. I'd rather spend the 3 hours in the kitchen with my wife making us exactly what we want instead of being disappointed with this 'Corporate Imitation Italian' ever again...

    I like Olive Garden. I know what I am getting and the breadsticks are always good. This location is okay. The food is typical. However, the customers are gross. I know OG is not an upscale place, but I do think it is better than sweat pants. I was there last night and I was not overly impressed with my waitress since she looked unkempt and had food stains all over her. She was very nice and quick with the service so she got a good tip based on that. But out of the many OG I have been too, this is by far my least favorite due to the people who go there. A shower, real pants, and brushed hair are not too much to ask for in a decent establishment. Seriously....I am in my 20s...if you are an adult, you should wear real pants in public, not pajama or sweat pants. But that is a whole other issue. Either way, this OG is okay, but I have been to nicer ones.

    Had a pretty good time here last night. Free small glass of wine which was a full one for me because Bryan gave me his. Started with risotto balls which were pretty good. They were much more crunchy then I thought they were going to be. They were premiering a new menu so there was several new dishes on the menu. To go with my main dish i choose the chicken and gnocchi soup . It was a little salty but still good. The waitress also brought a bowl out for my little man which he was happy about. My main dish was chicken in a wine sauce with risotto. The risotto was a little under cooked but was still pretty good. Chose not to get dessert and will be having leftovers for lunch today. Wasn't the best italian I've ever had but wasn't the worst either. The waitress also brought us extra mints which was very nice.

    Always good service and actually a darn good value. The salad and soup are endless. Also the food portions are perfect, not too huge, not too small. Come hungry, leave happy.

    Olive Garden gets a bad rap. I love their salads, breadsticks, and every entree and dessert I've ever had here. The service is always stellar too. Don't hate on OG!

    I'm a huge Olive Garden fan, but this place just left something to be desired but I can't put my finger on it. Staff was exceptional.

    love the food. The staff is always friendly. The wait can be long depending on when you go but it's a great place for Italian food and drinks such as sangria and bellinis.

    I don't typically come to chain restaurants like this anymore, but I stopped in today for lunch. I would guess that most people coming here know what to expect - it is definitely not fine dining, but is a nice, cheap option where you can get decent food. The food is fine, and they have some great lunch specials, like all-you-can-eat soup and salad (and the soup is surprisingly tasty). I remember the breadsticks being amazing, but was not that impressed today, so I'm sure if they changed their supplier or if my taste preferences have just changed.

    2.5 Time to cash in those holiday gift cards people. What can I say? Its streamlined italian. I got the new asiago ravioli sans chicken and it was actually pretty decent. JB got the pear and gorgonzola ravioli which was delicious. The salad and breadsticks weren't as good as I remembered. Overall it was a quick, (surprisingly) tasty and cheap dinner.

    eh... a victim of location... The franchise is okay if you want very basic italian chain restaurant food. This particular location is more like the bar scene from star wars at times. Rough crowd and very rude customers who have zero couth. (Not the fault of the business, but nonetheless, its a defining factor) The food is average, nothing special. Overall, that's my opinion of this location as a whole.

    This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to. I love the Olive Garden but this location is a wreck. The service is awful. You never get refills and the sever barely ever comes over. I would suggest going to the one in South Hills.

    My first 5 star review--- this restaurant, staff and it's food are impeccable. Servers have consistently been so sweet, and the store manager needed my party to relocate and gave us a gift card for doing so. LOVE THIS PLACE!

    Good place for your last meal request before being killed where you can get the all you can eat and just be a glutton forever (thus never dying). I have read that certain locations of this chain where voted best Italian restaurants in Pittsburgh. What does that say for the Italian in this region?

    Once had breadsticks with blue spots on them. Server rushed them away and told me that it was "ink". WTF? Plus I had to pay full price anyway.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
