I know, that's not very good of me...but we go there generally ONCE a year and that's it.

11. Olive Garden...

We went a month or so ago and the food was below the quality of a Stouffer's frozen dinner. Olive Garden's really fallen hard. Romano's Macaroni Grill, however, mmmmmmmmmm!

[Biased Liberal Media]

12. Wow, I guess it depends where you go, eh?

Where I went (in Bellingham, WA) the service was awesome and the food was DELICIOUS. However, I do have to say, I went to one in Salinas, CA a few years back and I wasn't thrilled.

[TankLV]

16. Ummm - Romano's - ummmmmmmmmmm!

But I LOVE the "soupa toscana" or something potato soup.

I learned how to make make it and I am verrrrry happy!

And after about 3 weeks of tasty "mistakes" I've perfected the bochetta (sp?) and am verrrrrry happy!

On to the spinach artichoke dip!

[Floogeldy]

13. I love it, too. I'm not a snobby eater.

It has been a while since I have been to the Garden, but I used to get the Tour Of Italy, with chicken parmesan, lasagna, fettuccine al fredo, and a side of spaghetti. With all of that salad and bread, OH MY GAWD.

B-)

14. I like the salad and hot breadsticks

and tiramisu there is also good.

sometimes my kid and I will go there and split an entree

I don't go there because I want Italian food, there are much better places here to have Italian food. I go there because I want their salad and breadsticks. I know they are pretending to be Italian, but I know better. I just like the salad

[fluffernutter]

15. their salad dressing does kick ass.

i really like it. and you can't complain about a soft, warm breadstick.
