1. Bring your favorites back.
Just because your favorite dish has been taken off the menu doesn't mean it's gone forever. Kindly ask your server if the chef is able to make it for you—they should have all of the required ingredients on hand. Same goes for any of the old classics you miss.
2. Ask for extra secret sauces with your zeppoli.
The cream-filled, deep-fried Italian pastries typically come with a side of chocolate dipping sauce, but if you ask your server about other options you'll likely get a spread that includes much more—including a decadent raspberry sauce.
3. Swap out your ravioli stuffing.
If you want to try a different filling for your ravioli, just ask. As long as they're not pre-made, the restaurant should be able to craft your ravioli how you'd like—such as Italian sausage with ricotta, spinach with chicken, or beef with tomato.
4. Request extra sauce.
Whether you're really into the garlic alfredo or just want some extra marinara to dip your breadsticks in, you can more often than not get extra sauce added to your plate—or even get it on the side—without an extra charge. This also works with the highly-coveted dressing on the OG salad.

5. Mix different sauces together.
More sauce, more flavor, more fun. Plus, it apparently makes for better leftovers.
6. Try the wine (or three).
If your server doesn't automatically offer a wine sample, ask for one. You can even try up to three different wines before you decide on a glass or bottle. Or even no booze at all.
7. Dress up your sandwiches.
Ask for a side of alfredo or marinara sauce to add to other dishes like the eggplant parmesan sandwich.
8. Eat for free.
Every year Olive Garden sells the Golden Ticket of Italian food, the unlimited pasta pass. Get one of these babies for $100 and you can eat truly never-ending bowls of pasta for seven weeks straight.
9. Get extra mint chocolates.
You know those Andes mints your server brings with the check? Yeah, you can definitely get a couple extra if you ask nicely. Especially if you ate something super garlicky. 😉
