Mr. Guido Says: ***1/2
Food: minestrone soup, fettucine alfredo, berry crostada with French vanilla ice cream. Minestrone soup was nothing extraordinary but good enough. Fettucine alfredo was good, prepared as it should be. This was my first time at an Olive Garden, and I was surprised - the food was good considering it was a "chain". Service was very attentive and friendly. Atmosphere lacked intimacy, but was nice and relaxed. Dessert was delicious though it seemed a bit corporate.

House salad, stuffed chicken marsala with side of garlic mashed potatos, berry crostada with French vanilla ice cream. Though not usually a fan of vinaigrette dressings, and was not usually a fan of the olive garden's in particular, the recipe seems to have improved over the years. Breadsticks are also warm and soft. Stuffed chicken marsala was a large portion, in a light creamy sauce with creamy filling. However, was not too hot and could have standed to been cooked longer, probably due to the stuffing. Garlic mashed potatoes, while an unusual compliment, were extremely tasty. Berry crostada by far one of favorite desserts at any restaurant. Service was friendly, and although it was busy the actual dining room did not seem too crowded. Although corportate, still maintains some identity and realistic qualities, while not trying too hard. Hear that Carraba's?
