News: Olive Garden Adds a Burger to the Menu

Olive Garden is taking a step outside of their traditional Italian fare and trying their hand at burgers with the new Italiano Burger.

As the name suggests, it's a burger with an Italian flare featuring crispy prosciutto, fresh mozzarella cheese, arugula, marinated tomatoes, and garlic aioli on the standard hamburger patty and bun.

It's served with parmesan garlic fries on the side.

One of my local Olive Gardens (Los Angeles area) marks the price of the Italiano Burger at $11.99 for lunch.
