Yeah I have tried Olive Garden and if I had to use that experience as my introduction to Italian food I would just stay home but...I tried Provino's at the insistance of my Italian wife and I am now ADDICTED! We have gone to other Italian restaurants but Provino's is by far the best when it comes to good eating for the buck. There is always a wait to be seated but if you can be patient, your wait will have been worth it. Service has always been excellent and if we do have a complaint the issue is ALWAYS addressed immediately by staff or management. Oh yeah...birthday dinners are FREE! Woo hoo! If you want a ""romantic"" dinner ask for the private booths. NICE! The atmosphere is the best I have experienced in ANY of the local Atlanta area Italian restaurants. If you are on a low cal, low fat, no wheat ""I can't eat this or that"" diet then don't go in Provino's. If you want to be totally satisfied when you walk out the door when you're finished...visit one of the many Provino's. I see there is a new one up in Forsyth county now so when I visit friends up that way I can drag 'em out to fine Italian dining. You can see all the locations on the web site at provinos dot com
