BEST SALADS

Olive Garden

2991 Veteran’s Parkway, 793-0381 Its motto is: “Hospitaliano!” which means, “providing 100 percent guest delight through a genuine Italian dining experience.” Well, our voters say Olive Garden salads are the most delightful salads in town. Now, when you consider that Olive Garden only has two salads – a simple garden salad with a special Italian dressing, and grilled chicken salad with romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing topped with cheese and croutons – this honor is quite the feat. Perhaps it’s the unlimited soup, salad and breadstick special. Regardless of the reason, one thing is certain, BOS voters keep coming back for more. Though Olive Garden has been crowned best salad for the past two years, only eleven votes separated them from the second place winner – Bella Milano, which has a house, Caesar (topped with anchovies), and (our personal favorite) Strawberry Grilled Chicken Salad, which features grilled chicken salad, strawberries, red onions, toasted almonds and walnuts, served with a special cheese blend and poppy seed dressing.
