Olive Garden's attempt to offer healthy side options like steamed broccoli often falls short, with complaints of undercooked and overcooked dishes. The broccoli can be raw or overdone, losing flavor and appeal without proper seasoning. Similarly, their fried mozzarella, despite being a comfort food staple, frequently disappoints customers with stale and rubbery cheese instead of the expected gooey texture. Poor execution in both dishes reveals a consistent pattern of culinary inconsistency at Olive Garden, leading critics to suggest alternative vegetable options or skipping these items entirely.
Numerous customers have complained about the broccoli being served undercooked and even raw in some cases.
Even if Olive Garden doesn't serve you broccoli that's nearly raw, you may still end up with an over-steamed side dish.
With crunchy golden breading on the outside and stringy cheese inside, it's guaranteed to be irresistible ... or not.
Personally, though, I felt the mozzarella was stale, chewy, and rubbery.
