Olive Garden’s Culinary Institute of Tuscany is located in the 11th century village of Riserva di Fizzano. Every year Olive Garden chefs travel to our Culinary Institute to learn authentic cooking secrets from Italian Chef Romana Neri and Chef Paolo Lafata.

Hundreds of Olive Garden chefs have traveled to Italy and learned the essential skills for creating great dishes, like how to choose the freshest ingredients, layering flavors to create the perfect meal, and pairing flavorful wines with each entrée to enhance the dining experience.
