Before you can graduate from Olive Garden's endless breadstick basket, you need to know how to actually say your entree choice. Pointing at the menu and hoping the server says it first can only get you so far. To keep you from looking totally dumb during your next OG trip, we created this handy pronunciation guide to popular Italian dishes -- the way Italians say them.
