"Olive Garden can be a polarizing restaurant due to its American spin on classic Italian cuisine. While some die-hard protectors of Italian cuisine wouldn't set foot in the place, many enjoy the budget-friendly experience of dining there, especially indulging in unlimited breadsticks. But as it is with any restaurant, some menu items are big misses, and one of the dishes you should really avoid ordering at Olive Garden is the Chocolate Lasagna."
"In our ranking of every Olive Garden dessert, Chocolate Lasagna came second to last. It's not actually a lasagna but a standard chocolate cake with mousse between the layers. It's bland, boring, and uninteresting. It does have an extra layer of crushed wafers that provides some textural variety, but that's its only redeeming quality. The cake is topped with chocolate sauce, which we found to be thick and overly sweet, preferring grated white chocolate on top instead."
Chocolate Lasagna at Olive Garden is ranked near the bottom among desserts and is actually a chocolate cake with mousse layers rather than a true lasagna. The dessert is described as bland, boring, and uninteresting, with a layer of crushed wafers offering the only notable texture. The topping is a thick, overly sweet chocolate sauce that some prefer replaced with grated white chocolate. Some diners have called it "genuinely abominable" and likened it to a stale candy bar. Desserts arrive frozen, the Chocolate Lasagna costs about $10, and earlier cream-cheese and brownie versions were more popular but phased out.
