- I look like I'm a rat coming out of the subway.
What's up, everyone? (lively music)
We're back, we're in Time Square
going to Olive Garden today.
And we're trying all the most popular menu items.
- [Camerawoman] Okay, you ready for this?
- No.
This has been the most requested video we've had,
so we're finally doing it.
I'm really excited.
Pray for me along the way, maybe.
You've seen this before, you know what's gonna happen.
Cue to the ending of me dead on the street.
My roommate just goes,
"Please bring me home a leftover chowder."
- [Camerawoman] Gross.
- Let's go.
Do you guys always have this many menus?
It's like I went back to college, and I bought all my books.
- [Server] Right, right, right.
(upbeat music)
- We've never had eight like this on the table before.
This is a lot.
We have to start with the breadsticks.
These are unlimited, and they are amazing,
and they are beautiful.
And they are fluffy.
That's doing things for me.
Okay, we're gonna move on.
Kinda looks like a vodka sauce.
Clearly less cheesy than the Alfredo one.
That's really good tomato sauce in there.
So we went from the cheesiest
to the middle-cheesiest
to then marinara, just straight up marinara.
It's really fresh.
I almost want to say fruity, which is wrong.
I still think the Alfredo, though.
I would dip many things in there.
I requested this lasagna dip
because it's only on the menu for a few more weeks.
So you gotta request it and see if they still have it.
Get it while it's still hot or something.
You have layers of fluffy cheese
and then you got your sauce and there's meat.
I love that they're actual pasta chips that you're using.
I think I like this more than actual lasagna.
Definitely order if you can
before it gets taken off the menu.
The chicken Alfredo pizza fritta.
Stuffed with chicken Alfredo, which, by the way,
is one of their most popular menu items.
So they took a lot of that flavor,
and then they just wrapped it in pizza dough.
And then fried it because of course.
Very doughy.
I like the tomato sauce more with this one.
It's just like you already have it in there,
so this kind makes it so it's creamy
with something else going on.
It's a cute little pasta pocket.
I really like it.
Oh!
Ugh, I love this cup!
That's tequila and it comes with an amaretto shot.
I don't think I'd wanna put the Amaretto in the margarita.
I like the flavor as is.
I really haven't taken an Amaretto shot in so long.
Why do you order, who orders like a, like?
Why? (laughs)
That's sitting hard in me.
So what we got here is a fried mozzarella stick.
I like the shape of these more than the ones,
you know, that you get at the grocery store
and they're frozen.
Or when you're at the cafeteria when you're a kid.
I like the shape of this more.
It reads more authentic.
I'm not sure if that's a true thing but it feels like it.
I like that the breading isn't just boring.
And it actually has parsley in there
and probably a few other flavors going on.
They also give you a good amount of them.
This is the shrimp scampi fritta.
Should be lemony, I think.
That should be the flavor.
Ooh!
- [Camerawoman] Julia!
- You don't even need the pasta.
How many did I just eat?
I'm not gonna,
just try it, just [beep] order it.
I don't know.
Order that [Beep].
I don't even wanna put it far away from me.
I'm gonna put it close nearby.
See, now I don't even want the calamari 'cause I want that.
I'm really happy that's not just fried
with just boring breadcrumbs.
It's actually the Italian breadcrumbs.
I want to try the marinara, gonna try sauce.
That ones better.
Oh, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.
(laughs) The amaretto shot I feel
like has just put me over the edge
and this is going to be such an annoying video
for all of you to watch now.
I would take that sauce and out it on everything, as well.
It's perfectly lemony and creamy.
While this Alfredo dip is pure cheese,
this one actually has a little more going on.
Okay, are we on the last one?
- [Camerawoman] Yep, last one for this round.
- Just based on pure presentation, this one wins to me.
This is a lot of food.
Okay, so we got the layers in here.
We got the layers of cheese.
Fried bits.
Ooh, I was worried that it was just going to be ricotta,
but this is, tastes like it has the Alfredo dip sauce in it.
Wow.
(upbeat music)
Thank you.
This is beautiful.
This is all lunch menu items.
This is all stuff you can get when you decide to not go
to work for the day and just want to eat here all day.
I think I could be a really good, like, salad giver.
Look at that grip.
Fun fact you can buy the salad dressing online,
in stores, everywhere,
where they sell it.
(audience exclaims in awe)
This is, like, the only green thing
I think I am going to be eating today.
This the best zesty Italian dressing.
So it's a bowl with pizza dough around it,
filled with loads of chicken Alfredo.
Ooh, it's like a soup or something.
It's just really,
oh, there's a lotta sauce in here.
It's kinda like it's own version of a pot pie, you know?
Break it apart.
That's a lot of cheese.
I don't think I have enough Lactaid for today.
You are wearing your sweat pants for the rest of the day,
the rest of the week when you eat this.
This is just pure comfort food.
I think to break this up I need to go with the zoodles.
If your going to eat this entire thing
you might as well try to break it up
with something remotely green-looking.
Ooh.
(patrons chattering)
I don't know if it's from just going straight
from this cheesiness to this,
oh I know why.
It has peppers in it.
They're just super strong when you put them in a dish,
and that's all I taste.
I don't know if I would order this,
but if you are trying to be healthy
but also want to eat a Olive Garden.
Whoever you rare unicorn are,
(chimes tinkle) this is yours.
Got some cute little shells in here.
I think I want a thicker sauce than that one.
It's okay.
Should we do, oh.
(sighs)
That was dumb.
Oh, but it taste good.
Good, moscato and tequila.
That's extremely dangerous.
You can't taste anything, any alcohol in it.
It just taste like a really fruity,
tropical passion fruit juice.
I'm excited for this one because it looks
like it's nice an meaty,
and I love these type of noodles.
There usually really chewy.
I like noodles that are chewy.
(upbeat electronic music)
Yeah, this over that one, for sure.
This would be feeling like a very filling meal,
without feeling like I just ate a block of cheese.
Wow, every time I say gnocchi, I say it differently.
I'm like gnocchi, gnocchi, gnocchi.
I feel like I'll never say it correct.
This taste like it's from the South.
This reminds me of Cracker Barrel, actually,
like, their chicken and dumplings.
You need to order that in the winter
and just curl up with it.
The amaretto keeps coming back.
I've actually made this at home,
trying to make this exact same recipe,
and it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.
It tasted scary because I clearly don't know how
to make soups.
This is my favorite soup of them all
because it has a little bit of a kick to it
because it has the red pepper flakes in there.
Then it has sausage, and then it has kale,
and it has potatoes.
This is definitely my favorite soup here.
I'm over heating from all the soup.
Let me wash it down with tequila and moscato.
(patrons chattering)
I can burp on queue.
- [Camerawoman] Do it.
(burps)
- [Children] Ew!
- (laughs) Ew.
I gotta go.
(laughs)
(lively jazz music)
We have a lovely veggie piadina.
We're going to open it up.
Okay, I feel like that's pretty fair.
Sometimes, you know, where it's just a little bit
on the edges, and then you bite into it,
and the middle is kind of empty.
It tastes like a healthy hot pocket.
You're now, like, force feeding me.
You're like, "Let's go!" (laughs)
I'm like (squeaks).
We got the Asiago tortellini here,
with the beautiful ragu meat sauce.
I like Asiago in it more
than just some mozzarella or ricotta.
I feel like it's a little bit saltier.
It just has more flavor.
I'm not ready for the next round.
At all.
(upbeat music)
That looks like a milkshake.
(laughs) Doesn't it?
I've never seen a Bellini like this before.
Oh!
It reminds me almost of,
if you have ever had, like, Orange Juliuses.
I would put that in a to-go cup.
This has the chicken parm with it,
lasagna, and then also the fettuccine Alfredo.
I used to order fettuccine Alfredo as a kid
because I was to scared of tomato sauce.
I didn't like it.
And this is bringing me back to those days of being a kid.
Simple, cheesy, one note in a good way.
We've got so many layers going on.
Extremely hefty and hearty.
Like. you go from the fettuccine to this,
it's straight up creamy to then a really meaty red sauce.
We have chicken parm here,
but we actually have the chicken parm dish
that we ordered, as well.
So I'm going to try it from this deal, from this deal.
I'm going to try it from this dish.
We take chicken parm extremely seriously at Delish.
Our own chicken parm recipe was tested some many times,
and I feel like I've eaten my entire weight
in chicken parm, at this point.
So I'am excited to try Olive Garden's version,
I've never had it before.
Hopefully it has the right amount
of breading to chicken ratio.
Oh.
Crunchy.
Crispy.
Look at the layers on this.
That's beautiful.
That's truly beautiful.
Jesus.
- [Camerawoman] Did you say cheesus?
- Both.
We have to talk about this chicken Alfredo.
The chicken Alfredo here is there most popular menu item,
people rave over this.
I just kind of want to know, what makes it so special?
I'm so intrigued why this is the number one menu item.
If I was a kid, this would be, maybe that's what it is.
Itt's like, if you came and you were young,
like a young little child,
I definitely think this is what you would order.
Someone told me I am a serial killer
because I eat Salmon everyday, from the last video.
I don't know though. I feel like serial killers
don't eat salmon every night.
I feel like they eat just a chicken breast raw.
- Oh, okay.
(dramatic music)
- Fine, that's fair.
That's a very fair assessment.
I also love capers.
This is probably going to be one of my favorites.
I'm just assuming that from the looks of it.
See, this sauce is so much better than that one.
The flavor of this is so good.
It's, like, lemony, fresh.
I'm getting really angry about this. (laughs)
Justice for salmon.
So, last but not least, of this round,
chicken, shrimp carbonara with peppers.
We know how I feel about peppers.
I'm just going to scoot those off to the side.
I actually need to untie my pants.
Ah.
(laughs)
To describe this, must wear sweatpants,
(laughs) to eat this.
This would be something your order, you know,
when your on, like, death row.
The way I am eating is as if I am not living tomorrow.
I am eating as if I don't plan
to live to 80 right now. (laughs)
(upbeat electronic music)
'Cause one wasn't enough.
(laughs) Thanks.
Well, the other Bellini tasted so good,
and I kept investigating to figure out
why it wasn't a milk shake that I drank the entire thing.
I was trying to turn like this,
and this is as far as I can turn right now
because I think it's just, there's so much pasta and cheese
in my entire body right now.
It's, like, not even in my stomach.
It's, like, in my veins at this point.
Truly, that light right now,
looks like the light at the end of the tunnel for me.
(man laughs)
I am truly excited for this
because I love pappardelle noodles.
The most fun noodle to eat.
The sauce on here.
I am so happy that you get a little bit of cream sauce
but not too much.
'Cause I feel like the cream sauce is what
makes things really hard to eat a lot of it,
and you can kind of feel heavy really quickly.
But this it the perfect amount of it.
It also reminds me of, like,
I feel like this is the kind of hair,
the shape that I want for my hair, almost.
If I could bring in, like, one noodle of pappardelle
to the hair stylist and be like, "Perm it like this."
I love pappardelle, and this is using the noodle
in the best way possible.
Oh, this one taste like it has more Prosecco in it.
They want to see me suffer.
Angel hair pasta, which I always like
'cause it's super light.
I feel like it's good for shrimp scampi sauce.
It'll taste super fresh.
Wow.
Day and night, these two.
This one's very hearty, super filling.
This one's actually, like,
the actual weight of the plate
even feels a little different.
I also like that they have asparagus in here.
Lemony, light, fresh.
I didn't get in my, I have a fun fact.
(playful music)
My fun fact for this round right now
'cause I forgot to do one earlier.
These breadsticks, they make 700 million of them annually.
And they give you purposely the amount of people
at your table, plus one breadstick.
So for me they served me two
'cause it's just me, and I'm eating alone.
(audience exclaims in awe)
Sad.
(upbeat electronic music)
This mushroom ravioli is extremely creamy,
heavy, and I think is the perfect serving portion size.
I always think that when you order ravioli,
they don't give you enough.
And you'll see someone next to you
with a huge ass bowl of pasta,
like up to here, a mountain of it.
And ravioli, they always only give you, like, five.
So, for me, I always feel like it's not
a bang for your buck.
But this one is really filling.
The inside is very thick.
Here we have in front of us a chicken stuffed marsala.
- [Camerawoman] And yet you went for the Bellini.
- I know what I did.
So it's made with some really good wine
and cheese and a really great, creamy, buttery sauce.
That is beautiful.
If you could find out how to make this at home,
you should serve it as a date night menu item.
It's funny they have this one
with mashed potatoes instead of pasta.
Oh.
Wait.
That's good.
I was expecting it to just be, like,
boring ass, plain mashed potatoes.
I've had my last pieces of pasta at Olive Garden.
I feel really sad
that were moving on to the dessert round
but also very joyous.
I'm excited to try, they have a dessert lasagna,
that everyone's been talking about.
So I'm really excited to see what that looks like.
(upbeat electronic music)
God damn it.
(server laughs)
(laughs) Thank you.
For some reason when I choose the Long Island limoncello
for this round it's 'cause I was assuming it was,
I don't know what I assumed.
But this is straight up a Long Island Iced Tea.
And limoncello is usually made with Everclear
or pure gain alcohol.
So, this is probably an even stronger Long Island.
This has some beautiful layers in here.
Two different types of mousse,
and then chocolate cake with it.
It's really light and not fluffy, but it's light.
It really reminds me of Snack Pack pudding mix,
or not pudding mix but the pudding
when you were a kid.
We know I like to do this.
That's amazing.
It is extremely
fluffy and pretty tall for a cake.
Slightly tastes like lemonade,
in a sense, because it is lemon.
I feel like this taste like someone's wedding cake.
I don't know who's wedding cake,
but it taste like someone's lemon wedding cake.
We have to move on to the donuts,
which they call zeppole 'cause they're Italian donuts.
Because in America we like
to put a big ole hole in the center.
These are actual pillows.
They look like a pillow.
They feel like one, and they're extremely soft.
We get three dipping sauces here.
Blueberry, caramel, and I believe this one is a Nutella
or a hazelnut type of chocolate dip.
This tastes like a carnival donut.
It reminds me of funnel cake,
the way it has all the dusting on it.
Oh, that's a lot.
Don't do the caramel one.
Do the chocolate one.
We have this really, I really like the color of this.
I want this in a lipstick.
That's my favorite.
These, this is perfect for the table.
You each get one.
Maybe you get two.
I don't know how many people you're coming with.
I used to make tiramisu every year for Christmas,
for some reason.
I think I just had a, I went on a Tiramisu kick.
But I just like how it gets all soaked
with the espresso in it.
You actually can't taste too much
of the espresso in this one.
(coughs) (laughs)
That is so strong.
If you just drank this for dessert,
you're not making it home.
We are at the end.
Whenever we write about this or show a picture of it,
people go crazy.
The layers on this thing.
Gorgeous.
Actually, like, so beautiful.
This would be, like, first place
in a beauty pageant, right here.
Last bite of the day.
(mellow music)
(blows raspberry)
It's been a good time.
It's really been great.
That is so thick.
This just tastes like
a super dense brownie.
You're defiantly sharing this with the entire table.
Don't think that you can just order this by yourself
and eat the entire thing.
Those layers are filled with a lot in there, ho!
If there's anything I could've possibly
missed this time around, let me know.
Write it in the comments,
and I'll be sure to rank my favorite three
of the entire menu.
And let me know.
Let me know what you think, where you want me to go next.
And I'll be in hibernation until then. (chuckles)
(lively music)
Still Strong.
Still very strong.
