OK...nobody goes to The Olive Garden expecting to see a guy in a suit, with an Italian accent (and a funny little mustache) greet you at the door. You go because the menu is unstoppable...from pasta to pizza to chicken & veal to different cheeses and raviolis stuffed with any number of things. I went on a recent Friday night and had the penne with sausage in a fabulous cream sause with just a hint of garlic. Excellent. If you get there a little early the lines won't be too long. The servers always to be be smiling which makes me think they are hitting the canolies back in the kitchen. A very satisfying meal, a non stressful atmosphere, and a check that's always well within budget. A winner every time.
