You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in. But we've got a better idea. Each week, Hyattsville Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. Here's this week's choice:
OLIVE GARDEN: It's like Cheers. I can't ever go somewhere in Hyattsville without running into someone I know. And the other night was no exception.

A friend and I decided to walk over to Olive Garden on East West Highway for a bite to eat. We were greeted by an older gentleman with a think Italian accent who welcomed us vehemently into the restaurant.
I ordered the soup/salad/breadsticks combo and my friend got stuffed chicken marsala and a glass of berry sangria. It took a while for the food to come and the breadsticks were a bit hard. The chicken gnocchi soup was delicious and our waitress was attentive, if unfriendly.
