Olive Garden Menu Tasting Tweet Up


"Mr.and Mrs. Olive Garden"
What fun we had at the Tweet Up for the Olive Garden’s new menu.

Food bloggers abound in Charlotte

It was our first Tweet Up so we were excited to try to win one of the many gift cards they were giving out for prizes if you had the best or the most tweets. Sorry to say we did not win this time. Maybe next time.

Polenta Shrimp

There were about 20 of us media folks there and they served us eleven of their new menu items. OMG, it was a lot of food and I have to say every dish was amazing. 

Bucatini with Sausage Meatballs

 Of course we all had our favorites, mine being the Bucatini with Diavolo Sauce and Sausage Meatballs, prepared to perfection, and served impeccably by the waitstaff at hand. 

Roasted Tomato Caprese Salad

There is also a gluten free menu. One of the guests at our table was gluten intolerant and she had a wonderful time tasting their gluten free items. If you are counting calories the Garlic Rosemary Chicken was fabulous at under 575 calories.

I have been to many different Olive Gardens and what comes to mind is the great service and never being disappointed in the food. It is always good and this new menu proves that, “The best is yet to come.”
Service wilh a very big smile

We had a lot of fun with the wonderful food and really good wines to taste paired with the different dishes. It was a celebration. For more information, visit www.olivegarden.com or call 1 800 248 4935.
