My Italian husband Alessio is about to review Olive Garden. Are you ready? We took the best and craziest Olive Garden menu items, blindfolded Alessio and had him try each one. Can he identify what they are and if they’re authentic Italian recipes? He’s brutally honest.

We need an Oreganos blind reaction next! Love these ❤
15:51 the moment the relationship was over
Edit: 23:11 and here he decided to sue
Olive Garden is garbage to begin with.
Poison!
My guy who is part Italian said with Italians it's considered Italian fast food. He likes it though lol
We always know what Italians will say about Olive Garden. We get it it’s not authentic Italian food. WE GET IT
I get it.
This is how I feel when I go to "American" restaurants in Europe.
Once, I went to an "American" restaurant in Berlin.
They had potato skins on the menu.
I explained to my European wife that potato skins are made from potatoes which are first baked, then the insides are removed leaving pieces of skin with about 5mm of potato.
These are deep fried to a golden brown.
They're then topped with cheddar and bacon and put into a roaster.
The skins have been cooked 3 times to a golden deliciousness!!!!
What we got: inch thick halves of boiled potatoes topped with cheese melted solely by the heat of the potatoes. 🤬
This poor man. I knew this would be a car crash… I make my own lasagna, and that monstrosity looked horrific. I would expect better from a Tesco ready meal, never mind a so called ‘Italian restaurant’.
That food looks horrific. Those ‘meatballs’ 😳😱.
I’m British and I wouldn’t eat that stuff, it’s awful!
Dread to think what they’re charging for this mess… thank the Lord for Italian restaurants run by actual Italians! lol
Poor man… 😂
I mean… As an Italian… There MUST be something in the Geneva convention, at least a small footnote, forbidding the fact of submitting unaware Italians to "real Italian food" in America. The "ma vaffanc**o amore" was the only realistic reaction to those dishes.
Oh god I was gone when she got the fried lasagna out 😂😂😂😂. Dear god… who the hell made that monstrosity up?!
I’m so glad we didn’t go there when we went to the US..!
Sorry I hate Italian food. Pasta in particular.
Italian American food has way too much garlic, authentic Italian not so much.
As for Olive Garden it's a cartoon version of Italian and absolutely disgusting…
It's all about personal choices
oh hush many of us love this place. Almost everything in America is different from the original dish 😂
I'm sorry, but to say a fried ravioli is inedible seems more like a statement of pretentiousness.
You gave him food poisoning in 10 mins……Does he know it's all you can eat….lol….
Chicken Shrimp carbonara is all I ever get at Olive 🫒 Garden 😂
But the problem is that first we eat with our eyes. By blindfolding, you bias the eater AGAINST the food…even if it is tasty. The only reason to do a blind taste test is when the eater knows the food expected, but is determining between two entries….so that the eater does not bias because of knowing whom made whichever entry. But blinding the eater, and expecting the eater to like unknown food….is wrong. It automatically turns the eater against the food eaten.
I think I can predict the result.
Kudos for being a willing guinea pig Alessio!
he's so dramatic. I love it
I love Olive Garden
That cheese wheel pasta looked amazing!!!
It's nearly impossible to find "authentic" Italian food in the US, especially at chain restaurants. If you live in the right area (NYC, Chicago, etc) you have a chance, but you really have to do your research.
I apologize profusely. ❤❤❤
Hes not wrong. After you have had legitimate italian, olive garden is downright AWFUL.
7:42 I feel you. I don't even like Italian food, but it's possible that I don't like Italian food because of places like Olive garden. I cannot eat there. I look at it and I just think pasta and glop. It is so gross. The one and only time I ate there was 12 years ago and it was because my brother was having a get-together there and all I could eat was the salad and the breadsticks. I didn't order anything because it all looks so disgusting.
she's having to much fun ,lol
wow the lasagna looked DISGUSTING, like someone threw up a bad lasagna on a plate.
Olive Garden has good salad. The rest of the menu is struggling.
I amazed how the food effects his stomach..he ate very little in totality. Just proves the poor quality of the processed junk we eat daily here.
