Last week, Olive Garden added a new “Italian Nacho” dish to their menu. So of course, I had to try them.

The dish is called Loaded Pasta Chips ($6.99) and the menu describes it as “Homemade pasta chips, lightly fried and layered with Italian cheeses and a hearty meat sauce. Topped with cherry peppers and an Alfredo drizzle.”

It’s only 1,500 calories, 🙂

Fascinating chip choice — Olive Garden choose a wonton style chip. On several occasions, the chip easily collapsed under the weight of the Alfredo covered chicken and chunky meat sauce. I would have gone with a thick, pita-style chip.

Overall, I’d give Olive Garden’s Italian nachos a C+ grade. They’re not in the same nacho tier as nacho hotbeds like Sabor, Three Amigos, VBGB and Duckworth’s.
