Anybody had this at Olive Garden? If so, what pasta/sauce combinations
have you had there?

sunshinefizzy · 10-10-2008, 08:08 AM

Never been there. The food does look delicious. My parents have been there though and they wouldn't recommend it. They would call it the never ending barf fest.

i ate there before but i never had that meal sounds yummy!! hmmmmm i love pasta to...

I see commercials all the time for that, and as much as I like pasta, I can't eat as much as I used to, so unfortunately I can't pick that menu item!!

It seems like a great deal, though, I think it's only $8.95 and you can get a different dish every time. Alot of the bowl combinations sound sooo good!!

I had the linguine with the garlic alfredo sauce with meatballs and it was delicious, I'd definately get it again

I wish they hadn't closed the Olive Gardens up here. It was stupid because they were always busy. I used to eat there up to 3 times a week (how I never gained weight I'll never know).

We've even made special trips across the border just for the Olive Garden in Lewiston, NY. The border guards laugh at us when they hear why we want to enter the United States when we tell them it's just to eat at the Olive Garden.

i've never been to olive garden, unfortunately! i loooove pasta & i want to eat there one time but it's not really close to my house. it's about a half hour away. but next time i'm in the area i need to stop by. i keep seeing the commercials on tv & i want some, especially the never ending pasta bowl. anybody know if they mind people sharing one bowl or how that works? it'd be a great place for lunch after school or something.

I've never been to an Olive Garden as there are none nearby. I can't order any 'all you can eat' deals because I can't eat a large portion at one sitting. Buffets, anything like that, are no good for me.

Same here - they always make money with me I can't even bring myself to pile high the first time around and IF I do go back, it's for something very light. With most restaurants, I wish I could order from the kiddie's meal menu. I hate wasting food.

Oh God, yes... many, many, many times. In fact, my husband and I look foreword to it every year! Actually that's the only time we'll go to Olive Garden is when they have the Neverending Pasta. I love their tomato-Alfredo sauce, but they didn't have it this year.

The LAST place I need to be is in an all you can eat place. With pasta no less. I could suck up 5 lbs of that stuff like a Hoover vacuum cleaner. My appetite knows no bounds. When I get down to my target weight (8 lbs from now -maybe I'll go - once

LuLu Rogers · 10-11-2008, 04:25 PM

I LOVE pasta! I went a few weeks ago and had the penne with alfredo sauce, yum!

It's actually not All You Can Eat at Olive Garden, you pick one pasta and sauce combination, then you can get another bowl of it, or a different combination all for $8.95, so it's only two bowls, not All You Can Eat, but it is a lot!

-STEFFY- · 10-11-2008, 05:00 PM

I like Applebee's better.

JulieSomoski · 10-11-2008, 06:06 PM

Too bad you guys don't live in Michigan - I have 3 that basically form a circle around my house-LOL. And it's strange too, because all 3 of them are always busy.

I love Olive Garden - the prices really are affordable, and the pasta is to die for. I've never had the never-ending pasta bowl, though. I usually get the Chicken Scampi or whatever special they have at the time.
