an OLIVE GARDEN smokes THE ODEON in the calamari department IMHO
Ok well I only tried them each once in 08 but my first ever experience at the OG was not NG, the pasta was simple and good, the minestrone fine, and the calamari TENDER......while a recent trip to TO the (overfried and rubbery) calamari was a total send back (we didnt) but the Pistou at TO rocked that day......
(updated) this has to be one of the most exciting menu values in NYC in years!!!
