I am Italian and I ate at Olive Garden twice,both times as someone's guest.The food was OK,but I would not go there on my own,nor would I invite someone to dinner there. The food was alright,but calling it an "Italian Restaurant" takes a pretty big pair. I am in the Pittsburgh area,and we're lucky to have a veritable plethora of Italian eateries.Olive garden might be OK for lunch if you work in the area and want a bump up from fast food,but I feel that the dinner menu is fairly ordinary. Considering that a basic lunch at any of the fast food joints can set you back 7 or 8 bucks,the prices at OG aren't too bad.
