Olive Garden's popular breadsticks, often mistaken for traditional Italian grissini, are in fact elongated dinner rolls that are pre-baked by a contracted bakery. Finished in-house by baking briefly and adding a topping of garlic salt and a butter-like substance, these breadsticks provide a consistent and addictive starter. Their par-baked nature allows for operational efficiency, saving on both time and costs. Despite being prepared in a warmer for service, the overwhelming popularity often leads to stock shortages, requiring sourcing assistance from other restaurants or suppliers.
