Olive Garden Take You To The Mediterranean With New Menu Items

Olive Garden has made a name for themselves in the family Italian dining world, but even a big brand like them has to keep things fresh so their customers don’t lose interest. Most recently, the mega-chain has kicked things up a notch with their Tastes of the Mediterranean menu. This new lineup features 6 dishes that are a bit more health-conscious than their regular offerings, as they each contain under 600 calories.

For a full list of what’s being offered, see below:

Chicken Margherita (590 calories)

Grilled chicken breasts covered with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, basil pesto and a lemon garlic sauce. This fresh, delicious dish is served with a side of parmesan crusted zucchini.

Linguine di Mare (570 calories)

Shrimp Scampi (500 calories)
