If you're looking for a restaurant where you can dine HEALTHY and DELISCIOUS as well as REASONABLE, then GO OUT TO LUNCH TO OLIVE GARDEN. You can get a meal for two for $15.00, including the tip and tax. Order SOUP & SALAD with breadsticks and eat as much as you want. Take home what you can't finish. If you want to order a drink, then $20 should be enough for two. There is no way you could go shopping and buy what you would need to cook it and also include the energy you use , not to mention the time. However, it will be hard to decide which ot the three soups you like the most: MINESTRONE, TOSCANA, or NOODLES and BEANS (Pasta e Faggioli).

Since Olive Garden Restaurants are located usually in central places, most likely you will not spend too much gas to get there. The atmosphere is casual and of course a family restaurant. Whether you're working that day or you have a relaxing day, it will be a good place to eat. There is always plenty of help so you will be served quickly. If you want to have wine or other liquor with your meal, it is there. You can sit in a booth or a table. If you like Italian Music you'll hear it but if not, the music alternates to something you might like. Most people are so busy eating and talking that they don't pay too much attention to the music.

If you're not in the mood for Soup & Salad, there are plenty of dishes to choose from with meat, fish, or just vegetables. The MINESTRONE soup has natural tomatoes with some noodles enriched with all kinds of vegetables and mild spices. The waitress will put cheese on it if you like and it will add to the flavor. There is little salt but you can add more salt or pepper. There are some pieces of meat in it which really adds to the flavor.

The TOSCANA soup had no sauce. It is like a potatoe soup but with pieces of potatoes in it. There some vegetables in it and small pieces of meat to give it a better flavor. The waitress is ready to add cheese for you and you can add more salt or pepper.

The NOODLE and BEAN (PASTA E FAGGIOLI) has sauce, beans, noodles, and other vegetables. It also is good with cheese.

The soups are home made and served hot so you might taste it a bit before putting a spoonful in your mouth. The soup is served in a bowl with a dish on the bottom. SALAD is served in a large bowl, family style. You can choose your dressing and also add cheese. There is lettuce, olives, tomatoes, onions, bread-crumbs, cucumbers, and other fresh vegetables. There are also some peppers so you may want
