Disclosure: I was provided with funds to enjoy a family meal at Olive Garden in exchange for my honest review. No other monetary compensation has been received. All opinions are my own.
A few years ago we went out to dinner a lot, but now that we are really focusing on saving money and eating at home as much as possible going out to dinner is quite a treat. One of our very favorite places to enjoy a nice family meal out is Olive Garden. The delicious Italian pasta dishes, fresh and endless salad and the hot bread sticks make this a meal we all enjoy a lot!
Currently, Olive Garden is making our special night out last even longer…for the better. Have you heard of the Buy One, Take One Dinner promotion at Olive Garden? It is the best deal and the greatest way for me to get a break from preparing dinner two nights in a row!! Woot! Mom for the win!!
Another reason why we always have Olive Garden at the top of our lists when deciding where to go out to dinner is the great children’s menu. I don’t know about you but one of the worst parts about going to dinner with the kids is waiting for our food. Even if it is a fast turn around, the kids think their food is TAKING FOREVER!! Well, Olive Garden has a great children’s menu that keeps both Jude and Teagan occupied. There are stickers, crayons and fun activities on the menu. Stickers are always a hit.
In addition to the fun menu for kids, they offer great side dish options for kids too! Love that!! Grapes or salad is always one of the sides that they choose, healthy options!
When you choose the Buy One, Take One Dinner you also get to choose between the salad or soup plus get fresh baked bread sticks. Yum!! I can never decide what is my favorite part of waiting for my main dish – salad or bread sticks??
Gather the family for a great meal with Olive Garden, complete with all the salad and breadsticks you want. Then, take home a second meal, freshly prepared and chilled for you to enjoy later.

My mom and I went with the Five Cheese Ziti Al Forno and Jeremy ordered the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce but added Italian Sausage for an additional charge. We all took home the same meals for later too. I love the Five Cheese sauce from Olive Garden, it is my favorite!
After we enjoyed our dinner, our waiter came to ask what we would be taking home. With in a few minutes he had our take home meals all wrapped up and ready to go! So easy! The best part is that these meals are easily reheated in the microwave for just a few minutes. So good! We enjoyed our take one meal the following evening after a long day at work and school. Perfect!
