Olive Garden Review + Gift Card Giveaway

My aunt gives my husband and I a gift card to Olive Garden every Christmas to use for a “date night”. I is absolutely one of my favorite gifts and I do the same for several of my friends. As parents, its hard to spend quality time together without our small children and a dinner date is always good for us. Olive Garden just happens to be one of my all time favorite restaurants.

Olive Garden recently sent my husband and I a gift card to test out some new menu items. Unfortunately, we missed out on the Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion, but I look forward to when that comes back. I had the New Stuffed Rigatoni with Chicken. I forgot my camera, so I took this with my phone-sorry for the horrible quality.

I never finish all of my dinner at Olive Garden, but I did that night! The Stuffed Rigatoni with Chicken was absolutely amazing and even though I like to try to eat something different each time I go, I will most likely order the same thing. Of course, it isn’t a night at Olive Garden without their amazing salad and bread sticks that come with most entrees. I could eat my weight in their salad-the dressing is my absolute favorite.

I look forward to going back at lunch soon because they now have Paninis with prices starting at just $8.95 (Grilled Chicken Caprese, Grilled Chicken Florentine and Grilled Steak & Portobello), each served with their unlimited signature soup and salad, along with breadsticks. You can enjoy this lunch special Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
