Olive Garden has various options if you're craving a good soup. However, per Chowhound's taste test, the pasta e fagioli is one soup you should avoid ordering at this restaurant.

While it's an absolutely beautiful dish that looks very chili-like, it fails to deliver on the promise that its appearance makes and falls devastatingly flat in terms of flavor.

The dish's tasteless beef chunks and dull vegetable pieces are disappointing upon first bite, and they provide no structure

for the dip of a breadstick.

Pasta e fagioli disappoints

even in terms of the dipping experience, as it is a thick soup with broth that is incompatible with loyal breadstick dippers.
