The Grand at Aliana will become a new home for Olive Garden, according to a recent press release from NewQuest Properties, which broke ground on the retail development three years ago this month. The Italian restaurant is expected to open in a 7,800-square-foot space at 10405 S Grand Pkwy. in Richmond, according to a recent project filing.
Olive Garden is well-known for its breadsticks and soup or salad, plus an extensive menu of Italian favorites. You can enjoy classic entrees of Chicken Alfredo, Lasagna Classico, Tour of Italy, or Five Cheese Ziti al Forno, to name a few. You can create your own pasta or enjoy Herb-Grilled Salmon and other entrees. Gluten-sensitive meal options are also available.
A full bar of wine, beer, and cocktails are other offerings at Olive Garden. Dessert choices include Sicilian Cheesecake, Tiramisu, Warm Italian Doughnuts, and Black Tie Mousse Cake.
Olive Garden is a division of Darden Restaurants, Inc. and has more than 800 locations across the U.S. There is no official word on when Olive Garden will open to the public, but the project filing states construction could wrap up later this year.
