Didn't Olive Garden originally make fresh pasta?

4. I haven't thought about that in a while but perhaps you're right.

Seems like they did, a long time ago, have someone making the pasta where you could watch them making it ...especially if you had to wait for a table. But then I could be totally making that up. Not on purpose, mind you, just mis-remembering it?

The last time I ate at Olive Garden with some co-workers (before I retired) I vowed I would NEVER go back. The food tasted like it had been frozen and nuked back to near life. Very unappealing and unappetizing.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but the food at Olive Garden used to be rather tasty. My husband and I would go there for special occasions and always enjoyed their Italian Trio and a few of the other dishes they made. (This would have been in the mid 1980s.) Do they still offer some of those entrees that they were so famous for making? I know the salad and bread sticks still seem pretty much the same, but as for the rest of it, most of what I ate and my co-workers had that day in 2010 looked like it came from the local grocery frozen food department. Blech....I could do that MYSELF!
