Overpriced/Underportioned
First off, the Olive Garden does not even serve real Italian food, but a lot of people don't seem to realize that. It's funny that it considers itself an Italian restaurant, yet hardly any Italians are seen in there when I go there. Gee, I wonder why. They make it seem like it because of the atmosphere. Yeah about that, for the prices on their food, all you are really doing is paying for the atmosphere. The prices keep going up and up every year and the portions of the food stay the same. For the Tour of Italy, yeah $15.50 my behind. I can't justify one small piece of chicken parmesan, a half serving of fettucini alfredo, and a little square of lasagna equaling $15.50. I mean the portion is the portion that they give you, but it does not equal the price of $15.50. You either give more food for that price or lower the price for what they give currently. Simple concept.
This goes for other dinners like the chicken parmesan, yeah 2 small pieces of chicken for $14.50? This could be true in New York but not Ohio. Even pasta on the side still won't make it worth that much. Flat out ridiculous on the prices for everything on the menu. It's this kind of activity that Olive Garden keeps doing that will increase the disloyalty towards the restaurant. Now I am not questioning their service because they do have decent service all around, it's just the food being overpriced that has kept me from going back there. You would think they would learn a lesson from Buca diBeppo but I guess not.
