I mean the potato crusted chicken pasta was french fries over pasta...tasted like crap.
They probably need a couple of Italian chefs
to straighten out the menu. No wonder they 're
in trouble.

I thought their food was as good as anything in Italy.
Can someone from this board confirm that?
TIA

Said she went to Italy and ate pasta/lasagna for like a month straight then came back and ate Olive Garden and said it was on-par with the quality in Italy

That's the one. I'm sure the food is fine with her.

How are they in trouble? They are one of the largest and most profitable chains in the country.

I read where they and the Red Lobster had problems.

More specifically, she said the pasta itself is. Not the food in its entirety.

To be fair she ate at the Olive Garden in Italy.

That I don't remember. If that's the case, then no wonder

Do you mean minus the part where they had negative y/y revenue growth, a net loss, and negative fcf? Please don't ever post again.

To be fair to the lady, when I went to Italy, I was not overly impressed with the Italian food I had. New Orlleans-Italian food is different - it is more flavorful. Everything was relatively bland in Italy.
But, Olive Garden is just awful. I think they microwave all of their dishes. Their Chicken Piccatta has a decent taste to it, but you can get the same thing from the freezer section at Sam's. It tastes just like Olive Garden.

You were not impressed with the Italian food you had in Italy? That is impressive.

Actually got the double stuffed mushrooms appetizer to go on a whim recently. They were not near as good as I remember them being (last time I had them was probably 2 years ago). Any restaurant that's known solely for their salad and breadsticks should not be expected to provide anything quality outside of those very 2 things. It is what it is.....

They had a net loss? I'm asking because you seem to be an expert on Olive Garden.
