When I am in the mood for pasta and salad, I go to the Olive Garden. The salad is excellent...I could eat bowls and bowls of it. The pasta is 'okay' but satsifies a craving when I have it.

The ambience is a little cheesy and "cheap" complete with plastic breadbaskets.
Pros: unlimited salad, friendly staff
Cons: small portions, a little bland
