Enough memes have been made about terribly cooked spaghetti that would make any Italian person cringe. But this American host mom decided to ramp up the ante and bring her Italian exchange student to The Olive Garden.
TikTok user alessandro.salimei posted a clip that details his experience at The Olive Garden. For those unaware, Olive Garden serves American-Italian fusion food—basically, what many Italians would consider a nightmare to consume. Ready-made breadsticks, heavy cream-based Alfredo, fried ravioli—this is definitely not Italian. But that’s exactly what Alessandro was confronted with when he dined with his host mom at Olive Garden.
