Review of Olive Garden

Kitchen cuts corners. Had a to-go order last night, and upon opening the container labeled gluten free (which looked like a kids portion) I found shells and spaghetti noodles mixed in with the rotini pasta. They only do rotini for GF. Apparently to save time, they just cooked it in the same water as all the other pastas they serve.

Reckless only scratches the surface.

The manager was apologetic, refunded my portion of the meal, and offered to make me a new one... which would have been fair if I was still there, but driving back while my family enjoyed their dinner, and then eating by myself after didn’t seem worth the mediocre portion of “noodles with sauce”.

I could do that at home, in the same amount of time, and feel 200% more confident in the final product.
