I love the Olive Garden. Although it cost $49.25 (before tip) for a party of three on my recent visit on 12/22/10. If you really believe those awesome breadsticks are free, think again. \n\nI recommend the Garlic-Herb Chicken con Broccoli and the minestrone soup. The chicken comes on a bed of noodle shells in a creamy white sauce and perfectly seasoned with a touch of garlic along with the broccoli. Another favorite during lent is the Shrimp Primavera which is cooked in a spicy arrabbiata sauce along with penne pasta, bell peppers, onions and mushrooms (I say hold the mushrooms).\n\nMake sure you ask your server for a couple of extra chocolate mints to wash away that garlic taste in your mouth.\n\nDid I mention the breadsticks and the minestrone soup are awesome. I can say I have had an excellent meal every time at Olive Garden whether it's in the South or the Midwest and the Scottsdale location delivers the goods as well.
