If you were to consult an Italian dictionary or ask an Italian on the street for the definition of Hospitaliano! you wouldn't get a good answer. That's because Olive Garden invented the word. We believe the word and its meaning are unique to Olive Garden, and we are commited to helping our servers deliver Hospitaliano! so it cannot be copied. It's a part of the vocabulary of the language we at Olive Garden all speak fluently. |  |

Around
the Family Table At any restaurant in Italy, long before the menus are handed over or talk of food has begun, bread is placed on the table. It's as if without the basket of several thick slices of chewy bread and crisp thin breadsticks peeking out from their neat envelopes, a person cannot even begin to assess their appetite or decide what to order. An Italian meal is defined by many components, but if bread were omitted, the diners gathered at the table would feel lost. In no home or restaurant in Italy is the breadbasket ever empty. Bread is simply part of the culinary scenery -- something one reaches for automatically. Americans may like their sandwich loaves and hamburger buns, but in Italy it has been estimated that the average Italian consumes a half pound of bread daily. |

"Life is too short, eat dessert first!"
 |
There is always room - and time - for dessert. But it's a matter of pacing, not just appetite. In Italy, the waiter seldom mentions dessert as he clears the table of dishes or tops off glasses with the last of the wine. In many restaurants a new menu, listing only desserts, will be presented - whether asked for or not. The several minute's lag between the actual meal and the ordering of dessert is all that is often needed to be whetted for something sweet, followed by a strong cup of espresso or frothy cappuccino. |

"One
barrel of wine can work more miracles than a church full of saints."
Old Italian proverb
 |
Wine Defines Here are some of the most common wine related terms. Aroma The actual scent of the fruit or flower of a wine. Balance No one element - sweetness, acidity or tartness - prevails in a wine. Bouquet The rich fragrances that a wine gives off. Crisp Acidity levels are in balance, resulting in a fresh taste. |
