1. Jesus...I just read that.

I feel sorry for people who think that's Italian food. One poster even described one of their dishes are "marvelous." I guess I'm spoiled but I can go find REAL Italian food for about the same price. There's an Olive Garden nearby and they always seem packed. I don't know why because we have so much good Italian food in NJ.

2. Olive Garden wasn't bad circa 1985-1992

After that, the chain has gone south in a hurry...

But yes, it is a bad, overpriced excuse for italian food

Just to see what all the fuss is about

4. Save yourself the trouble... it sucks today

5. But I want to find out why it merits so much opprobrium

It's not the only shit restaurant out there, but we get so exercised about it.

I live in England, I've never seen one here.
