Olive Garden brings back two iconic menu items to fans’ delight

While unlimited breadsticks might be the first bite of a flavorful meal, Olive Garden guests craved two flavors that had disappeared from the menu. After years of begging, cajoling, and pleading, the fan favorites, Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo and Stuffed Chicken Marsala are back.

Olive Garden fans are a loyal group. From the endless pasta promotions to their appreciation of the signature tomato sauce, every guests understands that a meal at the classic restaurant is more than just another dish. There is care and craft seasoning every recipe.

Although people might rarely stray from their favorite signature dish, the robust menu has changed over the years. During the pandemic, Olive Garden tabled its Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo and Stuffed Chicken Marsala.

Over the past several years, numerous guests have taken to social media, shouted to the rooftops, and otherwise asked Olive Garden to bring back these two menu items. As food fans know, continued effort can bring change. Everyone will run, not walk, to order these menu items again.

Since it has been a few years since guests have enjoyed a forkful of these dishes, the flavors will be familiar but also feel invigorated. Even though there are breadsticks as well as homemade soup or house salad, guests will want to ensure that they can savor every bite of their entrée.

The Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo is a rich, indulgent dish. The grilled sirloin tips sit on top of a bed of fettuccine alfredo. With chunks of gorgonzola blue cheese, the contrast of cheese flavors adds depth to the dish. The balsamic drizzle adds that touch of acid to cut through all the richness. Even though there is spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, this dish is all about the creamy sauce and robust steak.

The Stuffed Chicken Marsala is the perfect dish for someone who loves Italian flavors but prefers to skip the pasta. Served with mashed potatoes, the creamy marsala mushroom sauce is rich yet never overly unctuous. The grilled chicken breast is filled with Italian cheeses and sun-dried tomatoes. It is a classic, comforting, and totally satisfying.

Given the loyalty to these two menu items, they will be the hit of the holiday season. It is the gift that every Olive Garden fan has been wanting.

The Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo has a menu price of $20.99 and the Stuffed Chicken Marsala is priced at $19.99. For anyone who has been longing for a bite, the return of these menu items is priceless.
