Soup near Southington

“The store today was short staffed and the wait was lengthy. I didn't mind the wait though because they did all they could to try and satisfy every customer and get the orders out without jeopardizing quality. Joy , who I am assuming was the manager, was all over the place holding it all together and helping with everything!!! kudos to her and the few staff members she had . Joy is a very valuable asset to that store and deserves recognition for it.“

“Very tasty food and upbeat attitudes by son and mom make Fina's kitchen a place to return to a couple of times a month.“

“I can't believe I'm just trying your food for the first time today.. everything is beyond delicious!! Grilled falafel platter, grilled veggies and chickpea salad, all fresh bright veggies, and ALL the flavors! Oh and the Greek coffee frappe so good:) I ordered delivery through Toast/Doordash but will definitely be stopping in with friends and family soon.“

“Delicious food, quick service, and the staff are super friendly. I'm pretty sure these are the best pierogis I've ever had. The fall squash pierogis are perfect. Highly recommended! It's great to see so many tasty vegetarian options.“

“The Pinnacle of High-Class Dining

Well, folks, let me tell ya, I done seen some fancy places in my day—like the Red Lobster out by the interstate—but nothing, and I mean *nothing*, coulda prepared me for the high society experience that is Olive Garden. This ain't just dinner, it's a dang *event*.

First thing I noticed was the atmosphere. Real cloth napkins, not just the scratchy brown ones from a gas station dispenser. A lady in a button-up shirt brought us bread *for free*, and I nearly fell out my boots. That’s hospitality, right there. The sign says, *"When You’re Here, You’re Family,"* and I gotta say, I ain't never felt more like kinfolk anywhere that didn't have a bail bondsman on speed dial.

Now, the food? *Exquisite*. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo ‘cause it had the most expensive-soundin' name, and buddy, it was like the Lord Himself boiled those noodles. My cousin Bubba Joe said his spaghetti was “real gourmet,” and that’s sayin’ something, ‘cause he usually eats his pasta straight out the can.

Course, not all my kinfolk appreciated the refinement. My Aunt Brenda Sue got kicked out ‘fore the salads even hit the table ‘cause she tried lightin’ a Marlboro right there in the booth. She said, *“I thought this place was Italy! Don’t them Europeans love smokin’?”* The manager did not see her logic.

Then there was my brother Cletus, who took the “All You Can Eat” breadsticks as a *challenge*. After about basket number seven, the waiter started givin’ us the side-eye, but Cletus just kept hollerin’, *“I ain’t full yet, fancy boy!”* I think they were fixin’ to cut us off, but then cousin Raylene started flirtin’ with the busboy and bought us a little more time.

The night took a turn when my Uncle Randy decided to sample the wine list, which we usually don’t mess with unless it’s in a box. He said the house Chianti tasted like “fancy Welch’s grape juice with a kick,” and I’ll be damned if that ain’t the most poetic thing that man’s ever said. He got cut off after his fourth glass and tried tellin’ ‘em he was an *Italian prince* to get more. Didn’t work.

By the end of the night, after a heapin’ pile of pasta, unlimited salad, and just a *tiny* bit of property damage (Randy knocked over a whole display of them glass olive oil bottles while tryin’ to reenact a scene from *The Godfather*), we wobbled on outta there feelin’ like true high society folk. I ain’t never been nowhere that fancy, and I tell ya what, I’m gonna make Olive Garden our new special occasion spot.

*When you're here, you're family,* and I never felt that more than when we all got banned from ever comin’ back.“

“I loooove them being getting food from here for the past 20 years wow 😮 and they NEVER disappoint me ever I love the staff did i mention I love the food?

“First time and definitely worth the hour long drive from new Milford! I got the Black&Blue combo with the cheddar and broccoli soup, and it was amazing! I can’t wait to try something different next time!

Dietary restrictions: They have different salads, the Caesar salad was pretty good. They also have vegetarian options as well
