About This Quiz

If you've ever felt really overwhelmed by the Olive Garden menu and wanted to order everything, now is your chance. It doesn't matter how hungry you are or how much space you have in your stomach. Pile on the pasta, grilled chicken and Parmesan cheese, then feast away. Ever since Olive Garden's creation in 1982, it has taken the world by storm. There are now almost 900 locations around the world, all serving up the casual Italian eats. Don't miss out on their house salad, either, because the dressing and little peppers are a spectacle in their own right.

But really, how is a person supposed to choose just one meal? That's a good question. Sometimes it helps to go in already knowing what you want. That way you won't have to pore over the menu and be tempted with carby distractions. 

Where you live and your taste in food also help narrow down your order. You can't deny that there are regional differences when it comes to flavors, so if there's a particular dish that reminds you of home or a place you really love, you're probably going to order that, right? Well, if you want us to guess where that place is, order a bunch of food from Olive Garden and we will try!
