Try the Olive Garden's Little Italy Club Tomorrow from 5-9 in Springfield, IL

 Thank you to the Olive Garden for inviting us to try Little Italy Kids Club, opinions are honest.

Having a seven year old child can make going to dinner a challenge. They want to go someplace fun and exciting and we want to go someplace that is quiet and appeals to the entire family.

 I know every family has a different opinion on what a family dinner is and for us that is time to talk about the day and the plans for the next.  Even though it does not always happen it is also a good time to put away the cell phones and tablets and enjoy time with each other.

Which is exactly what we did last week at the Springfield, IL Olive Garden when we took part in their new kids program titled Little Italy Kids Club.   

More about Little Italy Kids Club:

Throughout the evening, Little Italy ambassadors will host engaging and child-friendly activities at a designated kids table in the dining room, allowing parents to sit back and enjoy their meal knowing their kids are having a good time nearby. Hands-on activities include creating pasta necklaces, playing with trading cards and Wikki Stix, and special coloring activities that allow children’s artwork to come to life via an interactive app. They can also expect other fun surprises, such as delicious treats.

 

I do need to point out that at this time not all Olive Garden's are participating in the Little Italy Kids Club. Springfield, IL has been asked to test the program out which is why you do not want to miss out on this opportunity which will be held again tomorrow night, June 16th, from 5-9pm.

I was impressed with the Little Italy's Kids Club, our daughter enjoyed making the pasta necklace and bringing her coloring sheet to life with the help of the Little Italy Ambassador and the Quiver app.  I am not sure how but she is convinced this was also her first time playing with Wikki Stix which she now wants us to buy for her.

I found that the Little Italy Kids Club was age appropriate for our daughter and held her interest longer than a simple coloring sheet which she completes in just a few minutes.    It allowed her to have some fun while my husband and I enjoyed catching up with each other over an appetizer and drink before our meals arrived.

I also found that she ate more than she normally would have and I am convinced this is because she wanted to be ready for the ladies since they promised to make a second stop at the table to check on her and promised to have a surprise when they did.

At the end of our meal the ladies did return as promised and brought the coloring sheet of Bene the Breadstick to life.  I failed to ask if there was more than one coloring sheet option but Bene has a group of friends such as Gina the Grape, Ollie the Olive, Tonya the Tomato and Ricky Ravioli so I would assume that if they have not yet added extra sheets to the collection in time they will.   

Before leaving they fulfilled their promise of a treat, which of course she was happy she had finished her meal so she could enjoy it.

 

We had a wonderful evening enjoying Olive Garden's new Little Italy Kids club and hope that it takes off so that families everywhere can take part in the experience.

If you are planning on visiting the Springfield location tomorrow night you don't want miss out on the chance for a free appetizer when you refer a friend to the Olive Garden eClub.
