the Olive Garden actually serves a dish that is close to true Italian cuisine!!
A few weeks before I left for Europe, my mom and brothers and I met at the OG for lunch one day. (Should I be ashamed to say that?) After a decidedly mediocre lunch, we picked a dessert to share and were delightfully surprised at the quality of our zeppoli.
Last night, after consuming an entire pizza, I realized I'm already coming back 10 pounds heavier, so I smiled and accepted a dessert menu. I ordered the Calde Calde, understanding about half of the description (per usual) but content with the recognition of cioccolato. The waiter kindly brought me the zeppoli with a drizzle of Nutella sauce, and- my god- I can die happy now.
But really, if I remember correctly, our friendly neighborhood "Italian" restaurant's zeppoli measured up pretty well to the dolce-deliciousness I had last night. Props, Olive Garden.
