-Cinque Pasti (aka 5 Meals), Fettuccine, Five Cheese Marinara and Meatballs [Refill]

Day 40, Meal 84

My Rating:

My Rating:Today starts a new theme, Cinque Pasti (aka 5 Meals). I’m going to have 5 different meals that I haven’t had before, during 5 different visits, eating 5 different pastas, 5 different sauces and 5 different toppings! Let’s start with Fettuccine, Five Cheese Marinara and Meatballs: Note, this is really Meatball & not Meatballs as described above, but when you are having 5 meals in a single day, you gotta go with the Refill portion 🙂 This was a very good meal! I’d say an 8/10. I think some freshly grated romano would push it to a 9, but I […]

-Double Meat, Spaghetti [Refill], Traditional Meat Sauce & (Double) Meatballs/Italian Sausage

Day 35, Meal 70

My Rating:

My Rating:Tonight’s final Double Meat meal is Spaghetti in refill fashion, a full portion of Traditional Meat Sauce and a Double Meat order, consisting of 2 Meatballs & 2 Italian Sausage: Considering this is a half-serving of Pasta, this is a ridiculous amount of meat. But that doesn’t stop it from tasting terrific! I really enjoyed this meal, MUCH more than when I had the (4) Italian Sausage solo the other day. Tonight gets an 8/10. Service was terrific over in Inverness, FL, per usual. I had Sherry, who is one of my faves. She’s always consistently a fantastic server […]

-Double Meat, Spaghetti [Refill], Traditional Meat Sauce & (Double) Meatballs

Day 32, Meal 63

My Rating:

My Rating:Next up on the Double Meat agenda is some good ol’ fashioned Spaghetti & Meatballs, paired with the classic Traditional Meat Sauce: Delicious, as to be expected. Plenty of topping in every bite. 8/10. For some strange reason, I didn’t opt for cheese, which i think looking back, would have easily made this a 9. Here is the Ziosk showing a cost savings of $14.61: Here is the nutritional information for this meal:

-Soupendipity, Minestrone + Traditional Meat Sauce & Meatballs

Day 30, Meal 60

My Rating:

My Rating:For my 60th meal, I am trying yet another soup first: Minestrone. This is described as “Fresh vegetables, beans and pasta in a light tomato broth – a vegan classic”. I am pairing that with Traditional Meat Sauce & Meatballs: You might remember from earlier when I mentioned I’m used to being a creature of habit and tend to stick with what I know and what I like, and deviating from that norm worked REALLY well for me with the Zuppa Tuscana. Well, sadly, that is NOT the case with this soup. I can’t quite put my finger on […]

-Stickwich Week, Five Cheese Marinara & Italian Sausage/Meatballs Stickwich

Day 28, Meal 55

My Rating:

My Rating:Today I visited my 18th Olive Garden location, over at the Tampa Busch Gardens location, as I did a family day at that park today. I went with Five Cheese Marinara for the sauce, and I did both Italian Sausage & Meatballs for my Stickwich today: Let’s Build: While this one isn’t as pretty as some others, the combination of Italian Sausage & Meatballs worked well, and I’d rate an 8/10. Earlier today, I had a rare breakfast, since I was at another hotel. I thought they had a pretty cool pancake maker: And of course, when I see […]
