Olive Garden is bringing its third location in the metro and this time, the Italian restaurant chain is coming to Des Moines, a company spokesperson confirmed.

State of play: City documents show Olive Garden is trying to open at 6157 SE 14th Street.

Darden Restaurants, which owns the chain, is seeking to construct a new 6,500-square-foot building in the former parking lot for Aspen Fitness.
It's currently still in the approval process and no opening date has been set.
