Ahoy!Folks of Klang Valley
would be grinning gleefully from ear to ear as Olive Garden has finally greeted us onshore by making Malaysia as
its first Asia embarkment since May 2015 at Mid Valley Megamall. Located at
First Floor, this Italian kitchen is an American casual dining restaurant chain
that specializes in Italian-American cuisine, with restaurants spanning over
800 establishments worldwide.
Famed for their modern-dayItalian dishes, Olive Garden prepare their traditional Italian specialties
deliciously, made with only the freshest ingredients, that are perfect for
sharing with your loved ones. All food prepared are alcohol-free, so the tasty
enjoyment could be equally enjoyed among our Muslim friends too.
An atmosphere of openness,spontaneity and generosity are genially felt as exuded by its casual yet
stylish dining experience, accentuated by artistic wall paintings gracefully
depicting the everyday life of an Italian. Awww, now it makes me wanna fly
to the city of Rom right away (=
As the Italian has it,let’s start off the yummy-licious session with some notable antipasto prepared
fresh from the kitchen of Olive Garden.
SAMPLER ITALIANO (MYR
59.90)
Appetizer platter perfect
for sharing, consists of lasagna fritta, calamari and shrimp scampi fritta
where both available in classic or spicy version.LASAGNA FRITTA
Parmesan-breaded lasagna,
fried and served over alfredo, topped with parmesan and homemade marinara
SHRIMP SCAMPI FRITTA
(CLASSIC OR SPICY)
Lightly breaded and fried,
tossed with garlic and lemon butter sauce or a spicy hot pepperCALAMARI (CLASSIC OR SPICY)
Tender classic calamari
lightly breaded and fried. Or, enjoy the spicy recipe with hot pepper slices and
red pepper flakes. Served with chili and marinara sauce.
Alternatively, all these 3antipasti are also available ala carte in two type of servings- solo or sharing
plate, should you have a specific preference towards a particular nosh.
Ah, don’t forget to dipthe complimentary freshly baked breadsticks into the freshly prepared marinara,
homemade alfredo or sundried tomato alfredo.
Also do remember to samplethe homey soup made from scratch every morning, or the salubrious
house salad, comes free flow with each entrée ordered. Isn’t that a steal? Of
course, you could also go for ala carte for those of you who are currently on
diet.
Mouthwatering zuppe e insalate!
FAMOUS HOUSE SALADTossed with signature
Italian dressing
CHICKEN & GNOCCHI
Chow down on a creamy soup
made with roasted chicken, traditional Italian dumplings and spinach.
A special mention to thissoup of the soul- conspicuously enticing with house recipe which comes
tantalizingly palatable but yet not overly creamy, as might be fooled by its
milky consistency. Double thumbs up!
SMOKED MOZZARELLA FONDUTA(MYR 29.90)
Oven-baked smoked
mozzarella, provolone and parmesan cheese, served with Tuscan bread.
Coming up next to whet
your palate further is the inhouse freshly baked flatbread pizza, or more
traditionally known as Piadina.
SICILIAN PINEAPPLE (MYR
18.90)
A fluffy dough base
lusciously spreaded with chicken ham, roasted red peppers and parmesan on
homemade marinara with a blend of Italian cheeses. Essentially simplicity as
its best! No wonder it’s Patrick’s favorite item, ma ma mia!
TOUR OF ITALY (MYR 59.90)
Cucina Classica- 3
classics all on one plate!
Chicken parmigiana,
lasagna and fettucine alfredo.
CHICKEN PARMIGIANA
Parmesan-breaded
chicken thigh, fried and topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Each
bite is mouthful with tender and juicy chicken meat. Well marinated too, yum
yum!
FETTUCINE ALFREDO
Fettucine tossed with
parmesan, fresh cream and garlic. Each strings of pasta is done al dente,
amusingly ticklish to the taste bud.
LASAGNA CLASSICPrepared freshly daily with
layers of pasta, parmesan, mozzarella, ricotta and special homemade meat sauce.
It appears to us that thelasagna is tad different from what we used to see usually- slightly flatter and
toppled down. And then we were told by the helpful crew- Tony, that the lasagna
layers are freshly made hot from the stove, hence explained the softer texture
of it. True enough, “Food tastes best at its freshest”. I find myself liking
every spoon of the velvety homemade pasta together with the light chunky bites
of the minced meat, which I don’t often succumb much to it. What a delightful
nuance I must say!LASAGNA PRIMAVERA WITH
GRILLED CHICKEN (MYR 38.90)
Hand-folded lasagana
filled with spinach, bell pepper and Italian cheeses topped with a tomato-basil
sauce, grilled chicken and a creamy parmesan sauce.
LOBSTER FETTUCINE (MYR53.90)
Maine lobster tail and
shrimp tossed with fettucine pasta in a lobster seafood cream sauce.
Crustacean fans would be
thrilled over this spectacular dish as they sink their teeth into the springy
lobster meat, allowing the sweet oceanic juices bursting liberally in their
mouth.
Your mundane medallions nolonger lonely anymore with this inventive twist of pasta to it.
STEAK GRANA PADANA (MYR52.90)
Grilled steak medallions
over fettucine alfredo tossed with grana cheese and fresh spinach. Finished off
with a balsamic drizzle and sundried tomatoes.
Alright, it’s high time to
call in the dolci- lovely dessert interpretation by our Italian folks.
DOLCINI (1 FOR MYR 6.80 |
3 FOR MYR 18 | 5 FOR MYR 29)
Inspired by pastry shops
across Italy- a selection of handcrafted Piccolli Dolci- “ Little dessert
treats”, layered with cake, mousse, pastry cream and berries.Choose from Lemon Mousse.......
Chocolate Mousse,Almond Tiramisu, Dark Chocolate Caramel Cream or Strawberry
& White Chocolate
Truly Italian artistry in
every layer!
Let's round up the epicurean affair with some unique blend of sweet tooth craving!FROZEN TIRAMISU (MYR 29.50)
Espresso, Kahlua,
chocolate and Amaretto liquers blended with ice cream
CHOCOLATE ALMOND AMORE
(MYR 29.50)
Bailey’s Irish cream,
Kahlua, DiSaronno Amaretto and ice creamIn a nutshell, the repasts
are unimpeachably served up, staying true to their roots of making American’s
favourite Italian restaurant, and soon to be for Malaysian too. Highly
recommended for their slurp-worhty pasta dishes as well as their pollo and
pesce selections, not forgetting their carne specialties too.
Living up to modernAmerican Italian carte du jours, I foresee that it’s not gonna be too long
before I return for its other inviting dishes with my enthusiastic bon vivants
too. So are you ready to be onboard yet? Me, for one, are definitely looking
forward to it and eager for more sumptuous and quality delights of Olive Garden,
especially after previous gastronomic dining at its culinary paisano too, Michelangelo’s.

EVERYONE FEELS LIKE ‘WE’RE ALL FAMILY HERE’”
