A lot of italian styled eateries are doing this...and I agree it is upsetting. If the menu had it before then they should keep it the way they started out. And charging $5-$7 for meat is ridiculous... I mean if I have to pay such for a little bit of meat on a little pasta I should have stayed home and just cooked for that price, and fed more people for less per dish lol. So yes Joy Within, I agree with you for being upset.
I understand your frustration but posting here won't do anything. Contact them through their website and complain.
Been eating Olive Garden since 1986. Spaghetti and meatballs were always sold as a dinner for one price. The manager says he doesn't like it either. Says many people are complaining. DON'T know why they are still serving romaine with all the recall. Most restaurants are not doing that. Sorry you DON'T remember cheaper times.
Traditional Italian food doea not include meat. Meat is normally its own dish. So kaybe theyre teying to be more authentic? Or appeal to vegetarians more?
