2. I don't know
I like the place, but think its not as good as it was in teh 90's.

Corporate food - hell that's the world we're living in. At least you can get a decent Chicken Parmigiana
there.

5. The last time I ate it was in the 90's. Around 94, I think
So I don't really remember much.

They just opened one close to work, so this week we all ordered take away

3. I don't hate them
I think they are okay

I love their salad, breadsticks, and their sausage/potato soup

some of their entrees are okay too

There are some local restaurants that have very good Italian food that I prefer, but Olive Garden isn't so bad, in fact its pretty good IMO

to each their own

:hi:

4. The Taste Of Italy is the way to go
You get to try several crappy portions.

7. It's not that it's bad, it's decent food. It's just that if you're in NYC...
you have NO excuse to be eating at a chain restaurant. NONE.
Last time I was there, we were looking for a place to eat and just happened across a Jewish deli/diner that kicked five asses simultaneously with a spiked boot of justice. You can't go anywhere in NYC without practically tripping over great food, so why eat at a fucking McDonald's or Olive Garden?

8. I've only been to OG a couple of times
Food, service, etc was fine.
Now don't get me started on Red Lobster. x(
