"The tiramisu and the warm Italian doughnuts are best enjoyed in-restaurant. The doughnuts are intended to be served warm, making the plushness of the exterior and molten dipping sauce all the more pleasant to eat."
"The tiramisu, specifically the ladyfingers, also gets soggy, resulting in a less-than-optimal dessert experience when taken out."
"Any of the cakes, like the chocolatey black tie mousse cake, would be much better off than the Italian doughnuts or the tiramisu because slices of those desserts won't get mushy."
"Olive Garden's soups are usually a good choice for takeout, as you can incrementally reheat them in the microwave."
Olive Garden is known for its pasta, appetizers, and iconic soup, salad, and breadsticks. While takeout is popular, not all dishes are suitable for it. Tiramisu and Italian doughnuts should be ordered in-restaurant as they do not maintain quality when taken out. The doughnuts are best served warm, and the tiramisu can become soggy. Other desserts like cakes are better for takeout. Soups are good choices, and salads should have dressing on the side to avoid sogginess. Cream-sauced pastas like fettuccine Alfredo may also suffer in quality when taken out.
