Shared: Olive Garden salad,

Olive Garden is really the best Italian food in Waco, now that Vito's has closed, and we were really in the mood for Italian after a hectic week for both of us. We also decided to try dishes we had never had here before.

Ramona's pork filettino was huge. She ended up bringing half of it home, and it was really juicy and full of taste with a hint of red wine.

Jim is not a fan of "Marsala" dishes, but, since this one was advertised as a "creamy Marsala sauce," he decided to try it, and it was terrific. The meal hit the spot all around.

Jim's dessert was a new seasonal treat, and we almost convinced the server that the clean plate between us never had a slice of cheese cake on it!

Dependable, reasonably priced, good food. But Jim still longs for the Italian Restaurants in South Philadelphia.
