Olive Garden brings back two fan favorite dishes that might be even better than before

There are some dishes on the Olive Garden menu that we all know and love. And then there are the fan favorites that we have seen removed from the menu, much to our dismay. Two of those fan favorite dishes were the Stuffed Chicken Marsala and the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo.

Now, Olive Garden is bringing both of these fan favorites back to the menu, but they seem to be even better than they once were. We had the chance to give these returning dishes a try for ourself and we have to say that we were impressed.

Olive Garden brings back the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo and the Stuffed Chicken Marsala

First though, let's talk about the two returning menu items. For anyone who either missed out on these dishes the first time or maybe doesn't quite remember what all these items include, we have you covered.

The Stuffed Chicken Marsala is described as "Grilled chicken breast stuffed with Italian cheeses and sun-dried tomatoes, topped with a creamy marsala mushroom sauce. Served with mashed potatoes." And you really can't go wrong with that, especially if you already enjoy chicken marsala to begin with. Stuffing the chicken breast just adds another layer of deliciousness to the mix.

Then there is the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo, which Olive Garden describes as, "Grilled sirloin tips (6 oz) over fettuccine alfredo, tossed with gorgonzola blue cheese and spinach. Topped with sun dried tomatoes and a balsamic drizzle." This seems like the perfect marriage of flavors and adding steak to an alfredo just seems like perfection.

Considering we had the chance to give these dishes a try for ourselves, we wanted to share our thoughts.

Honestly, I have never had a bad experience at an Olive Garden and I love their menu. While it can sometimes feel impossible to pick between favorites, there is no denying that at least for me, Alfredo anything is going to be a winner (well except for scallops since I'm allergic). And that is why I have to rave over the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo.

There was so much flavor packed in every bite of this dish. And there is no denying that Olive Garden knows how to season a steak. The fact that the meat was tender and flavorful, while the pasta was creamy meant that this dish was the perfect marriage of textures and flavors. And that doesn't even consider the sundried tomatoes, the spinach, the gorgonzola blue cheese or the drizzle of balsamic glaze. Basically, this dish is perfection and we can only hope that Olive Garden makes this one a permanent menu item.

In a lot of ways, Olive Garden is comfort food. And this dish was pure comfort on a chilly Fall day.
