Olive Garden is an American casual dining restaurant chain specializing in Italian-American cuisine. It is a subsidiary of Darden Restaurants, Inc., which is headquartered in unincorporated Orange County, Florida, near Orlando. As of 2012, Olive Garden restaurants account for 45% of the sales generated by Darden. Olive Garden operates more than 750 locations globally.
Olive Garden serves Italian-American cuisine including pasta dishes, steaks, and salads. The company heavily advertises its bread stick product and centers its lunch menu around it. Additionally, the company advertises that its soups are made fresh in each location daily instead of importing them from a commissary or outside vendor.
Olive Garden is a family of more than 750 local restaurants
committed to providing every guest with a genuine Italian dining
experience. It’s what we like to call Hospitaliano!: our passion for 100% guest delight.
As part of that commitment, we’re proud to serve fresh, delicious
Italian food served in a comfortable, home-like setting where everyone
is welcomed as a member of our family.
