Didn't I just see this question on Reddit?3

I've only ever had spaghetti when I go there, but it's so good. I've actually never had any other Italian food except for spaghetti or pizza. Should I try something else? I'm scared to go to Italy, because I don't think I'll like their food.1

Try other things!! Ziti, Manicotti, so much more!! I make an attempt to try something different every time I go to the local Italian restaurant near me. I've never been disappointed.0 -
I haven't been there. And I haven't been blessed enough to make it to New York. But I've been to the Olive Garden here. It wasn't too bad. I like their salads. But, if I'm wanting Italian Foodz, I call one of two places here. Both family owned. And one of them comes with the grandma, who can yell at the sons..... and it's like very very authentic italian. And then there's another place that's been there since before I was born, and the son runs the business now. OMG. Theeee best calzones. OMG, I can't brag about that place enough.
What's a calzone? Do you mean it's a calorie zone. I now spaghetti is a high calorie zone.2 -
A few years ago I ran the San Diego marathon. After the race we went to little italy; I ate an entire pizza.
It was heaven. .... and after 26.2 miles, I earned it too.7 -

Calzones and Stromboli's are almost the same thing, except the shape is different. They are like much better hot pockets.0 -

I would of done that before the marathon. Also, I probably would of skipped the marathon.5 -
Heres a half of a Calzone I was talking about. And I WISH it was calorie free. Delish!! Oh my gosh. Some restaurants bake theirs, but this place deep frys them.

Put me into the "there are far better italian restaurants in NY" crowd.
If you are ever unsure on what to try at one. Ask for the Penne alla Vodka.1 -
I've never been to Olive Garden .. not sure if I want to go
It's like Red Lobster. I'd like some seafood but not sure if I want to go there for it2 -
I understand that they have a delicacy there called "bread-sticks" that are supposed to be very popular.1
-
I've never eaten there but the McDonald's inside Notre-Dame de Paris is probably the finest anywhere in the world.
It's worth traveling to Paris just to eat there.
And you won't believe what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese!

I heard their breadsticks are pretty good.0

Why do people think they are missing anything? I thought I was very clear and concise about my post. Was I not?
Yes, you were clear. My apologies for mentioning it to begin with. Given your joking nature and that this is the chit chat thread I wasn't sure if you were serious or not, mainly because I'm Italian and make my own pasta, sauce, and meatballs and would never consider going to Olive Garden, particularly with all the fabulous options in NYC.
But, if you go, enjoy! And tell us how it was.0 -

This.. 100 percent.
Right next door to Carmines is John's Pizza.0 -
I really hope you're joking! If the Italian food at Olive Garden is the best you've had then it's time to try some authentic Italian places, many of which can be found in NYC.
However, given the tone of this board, I probably missed something in reference to the Olive Garden and I'm completely off base. If so, don't mind me. Carry on.
I thought this too....and then i tired the places and still prefer ive garden lolll0 -

I heard they have put many small Italian Mama & Papa family restaurants out of business in Little Italy. Probably because of their breadsticks and all you can eat salads! They are like the Wal Mart of the restaurant business.0

So I'm thinking of going to New York City to visit the Times Square Olive Garden. I think the Olive Garden is probably the best Italian food I've ever had and try to go to one in every city I go to. I would make a special trip just for this one.
go to Carmine's Italian Restaurant, 5 mins to Olive Garden with actual food
