OLIVE GARDEN ITALIAN RESTAURANT

Italian food has always been a fan favorite. It's probably the fault of those pesky Mario brothers. When they weren't busy searching for the hidden warp zone to world 8 or stomping on frowny-faced goombas, they were wolfing down Italian food. The Olive Garden is the kind of restaurant they'd eat in, too.

The culinary managers of the Olive Garden have learned Italian food from the Italians themselves. Each year these culinary managers travel to Italy to enroll in a cooking school called the Culinary Institute of Tuscany, located in a restored 11th century village. There they work with head chef Romana Neri to learn the ways of the Italian cook. While in Italy, the Olive Garden culinary managers also experience Italian culture firsthand.

The result? Great tasting Italian food that will help you beat Bowser every time.
