Is any list of chains that serve the best lasagna really complete without Olive Garden? The Lasagna Classico has been a longtime staple at the Italian-American chain, and customers still can't get enough of it… The dish is prepared fresh daily with layers of pasta, parmesan, mozzarella, pecorino romano, and Olive Garden's homemade meat sauce. If you're feeling extra indulgent, Olive Garden also offers a fried version of its classic lasagna as an appetizer. The Lasagna Fritta features fried parmesan-breaded lasagna topped with parmesan cheese and meat sauce and served with creamy Alfredo sauce.
