History of Italian Cuisine

In 1999, Olive Garden partnered with Sergio and Daniela Zingarelli, proprietors of Riserva di Fizzano, Tuscany - our cooking school in Italy , where the history of Italian cuisine dishes is made.

Culinary Institute of Tuscany HistoryLocated in the heart of the Chianti Classico wine-growing region is the Rocca delle Macie Winery, also owned by our friends, the Zingarelli family. Enjoy a sample of delicious Rocca delle Macie wines - like Rubizzo Sangiovese and Chianti Classico Riserva - at your local Olive Garden.

Olive Garden's Culinary Institute of Tuscany is the perfect training ground for our premier chefs. Here they learn the key values and skills needed to remain true to the rich history of Italian cuisine.
