Customise Your Sampler PlatterOlive Garden‘s popular sampler platter is packed full of scrumptious dishes, and is a great way to try a whole host of different dishes. However, if something on the menu doesn’t tickle your fancy, pasta fans at Taste of Home have revealed that you can ask your server to customize it.You can choose any appetizers you like, and even double up on your favorite starters.



2. Swap Your SauceIf you’re desperate to try a specific kind of pasta, but aren’t keen on the sauce, then you can swap it out for any sauce you like. This hack is perfect for picky eaters, or for regulars who want to switch things up, and try something new.

3. Secret SauceZeppoli is one of the most popular desserts on the menu, and traditionally comes with a chocolate sauce. But did you know that there’s a secret raspberry sauce that you ask servers for instead?It is also rumored that other secret sauces are available on request at certain locations.

4. Ditch the CheeseWhether you’re lactose intolerant, or are just trying to make healthier choices, you may not always want a cheese packed meal.So if you want to enjoy your Italian meal cheese-free, simply ask the server to have it removed from your dish.

5. Customize Your RavioliThis hack unfortunately doesn’t work nationwide, but at some stores, you can customize your ravioli.Whether you want to make a minor change, or customize the whole filling, chefs will do anything they can to make the dish exactly to your tastes.
