        I never really understand this comment about Olive Garden. Unless you live under a rock, you don’t go to Olive Garden for authentic Italian food. You go there for cheap, filling food, and a metric fuckton of breadsticks.

      I had to visit it when I was in US. I’m a European and thought the tomato/shrimp/cream carbonara was hilarious. No need to go again.

      Where are you from that they think this?

      Usually most chain restaurants are not considered fancy. Though there are some classier chains that people might consider fancy. Olive Garden is not one of them.

        If they don’t have any other Italian options, Olive Garden might be ok. Also, fast food brands can vary a lot around world.

        That being said, Olive Garden is pretty mid.
