The list of savory options is certainly long, but what about dessert?<\/p>\n<p>Olive Garden offers a range of desserts to finish out your meal, including classics like cheesecake and tiramisu. Another fan favorite? The Olive Garden chocolate lasagna. We&#8217;re talking four layers of fudgy brownie paired with layers of vanilla cream cheese frosting. It&#8217;s stacked high, then drizzled with chocolate and topped with chocolate shavings to make it that much more decadent.
