Taste of Tuscany
Many proclaim that a chain restaurant can’t produce the taste necessary for a culinary experience that rivals authentic Italian cuisine. But, The Olive Garden is a unique type of chain restaurant, one that has its own institute right in its homeland of Italy. Olive Garden’s Culinary Institute of Tuscany is located in a restored 11th century village, a quaint and beautiful place that provides the backdrop for learning the secrets of Italian cooking. Chefs can then use these techniques to make dishes for Olive Garden’s customers, bringing a taste of Tuscany to locations around the world.
