{Giveaway} $100 Olive Garden Gift Card
3.7K
THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED
If you missed the Butter Cream Chicken I posted yesterday, you may want to take a look. Comfort food, plain and simple. 🙂 Now let’s chat about The Olive Garden, shall we?
I love Olive Garden.
And I don’t say this lightly. It really is one of my very favorite restaurants, always has been. The fresh breadsticks win me over ever time. Dip those babies into a steaming hot plate of Chicken and Shrimp Carbonera and life is a beautiful thing, I tell you.
I recently had the opportunity to eat at good old Olive Garden with my family. My husband and I eat there about once a month with friends, but we’ve never taken ALL of our kids to eat there together. Have I mentioned I have just under five thousand children? Ok…not really. Just 5. It seems like five thousand sometimes, alright?
We had a great time at dinner. We were very well taken care of; the staff there is so friendly and attentive. Our drinks were always filled, the meal was presented in a timely fashion, and no one asked me to do the dishes. Come to think of it, they never ask me to do the dishes.
No wonder I like it so much.
Olive Garden is running a great special right now through March 18th. You can get a 3 Course Italian Dinner for $12.95. It comes with all-you-can-eat Breadsticks, Soup or Salad, one of five new entrees, and one of five Dolcini desserts. That’s a lot of food for the price, my friends.
The portion sizes were very large; we ended up taking a lot of it home and had it for lunch the next day. My little boys ordered from the kid’s menu, and also had plenty to take home for later. That means not only were we fed for two meals, but I got to skip out on dish doing, twice.
The food was absolutely wonderful. All in attendance gave it two thumbs up. I especially recommend the Creamy Parmesan Portobello Mushroom Fettuccine as well as the Limoncello Mousse. Pure bliss. Loved every single bite.
Olive Garden and BlogHer would like to give a $100 Olive Garden Gift Card to one of you lucky readers. That’s good news, isn’t it? To enter the giveaway leave me a comment telling me your favorite Italian dish. It can be an Olive Garden dish or another Italian recipe you love.

I love the Fettuchini Alfredo with Chicken when we go there for dinner. My favorite time to go is when my daughter is home and we usually do lunch out at Olive Garden and get the all you can eat breadsticks, salad, and soup. We use that lunch as our catch-up time and I always love those lunches together.
Spot up for this write-up, I will have to say i feel this webpage wants csobideranly more consideration. I’ll more likely once extra to study to read an excellent deal extra, thanks for that facts.
I love Baked Ziti and Chicken Parmesan

Love me some Olive Garden! Love the Cheese Ravioli, Salad & Bread Sticks! Its a plus that the whole fam likes it too! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Lasagna is def my fav Italian dish. I can't eat Olive Garden, or O.G. as I like to call it, lasagna though as it has meat in it and I am a vegetarian! LOL

oh, how i love seafood alfredo 😉
My favorite dish is chicken scampi but I always load up on breadsticks and salad so there's plenty of leftover to bring home.

Pasta primavera!
I love, love, love, the Olive Gardens eggplant parm!
It's hard to choose a favorite because I always see something new I want to try. Oh, wait! The Italian Wedding Soup! Delicious!
So I was inspired by your Giveaway – I made Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo!
I would say over all things at the Olive Garden – I love the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo main dish! I made it pretty close to what they serve.

I love fettuccine alfredo. Most of the time I don't make it myself so it's a real treat when I can go to Olive Garden.
