NY Adventures and beyond...: November 2008

We went to Olive Garden on Friday for dinner. I remember when IFC was new in the country… I took him to different restaurants so he could try various dishes out. Obviously, Olive Garden is # 1 on the list. What more can you ask for! Affordable prices, scrumptious foods, and excellent customer service!

Sampler Italiano - calamari, chicken fingers and toasted beef and pork ravioli.

Chicken and Gnocchio Soup - a creamy soup made with roasted chicken, traditional Italian dumplings and spinach.

Garden-fresh salad with Italian dressing

Pork Filettino - grilled pork tenderloin marinated in extra-virgin olive oil and rosemary. Served with Tuscan potatoes and bell peppers.

Seafood Portofino - mussels, scallops, shrimp and mushrooms with linguine in a garlic-butter wine sauce.

And since we were too full with all these food, I ordered a Black Tie Mousse Cake (rich layers of chocolate cake, dark chocolate cheesecake and creamy custard mousse) to go.
