Olive Garden’s latest menu item might actually make you want to go there

Olive Garden has been the butt of many jokes in recent years, especially by us city-dwellers. We snicker at the tourists who choose to eat there instead of one of the city’s thousands of other restaurants. But the chain’s latest menu item might have you rethinking your snark. Starting next month, they’ll be offering breadstick sandwiches.

Unlimited breadsticks has long been one of Olive Garden’s tactics to draw in customers, so this latest menu item is built off of that success. Starting June 1, customers will be able to order chicken parmigiana breadstick sandwiches and meatball breadstick sandwiches.

And of course, just like everything else on the menu, the breadstick sandwiches come with an unlimited basket of…breadsticks.
