Easy, quick and good. don't know if it's really like the restaurants--this is more of a balsamic salad dressing to me, but we both liked it. helped us use just a little bit more of our italian bread. thanks for the recipe1

This was just okay for us. I made the recipe as written. Although the dip was flavorful, we felt there was too much garlic and oregano added which tasted very spicey. Maybe we are just used to the olive oil dip at the restaurants that they pour from a bottle and the spices are marinating in the bottle, not ending up on the bread. I will try again making adjustments to the oregano and garlic.

Very easy to do. I cut down on the garlic cloves so I would reccommend only 1 or 2 but just be sure to taste it before you add all the garlic

We really enjoyed this. I found this at the last minute when i decided I wanted a dipping sauce for my fresh baguettes for a dinner party. I was searching for the recipe I usually used, but this new one caught my eye and I decided to give it a whirl (I love trying new recipes w/just a few reviews)! I followed the recipe (w/the exception of subbing pre-minced garlic for fresh pressed), but I split it on 3 saucer sized plates. TY for a great recipe, Jill!

To be honest, I really didn't see the point of pressing the garlic all over a plate and pouring the oil and vinegar over it, since there was just two of us. I just whisked everything together in a bowl. I used only two cloves of garlic and substituted tarragon vinegar instead of balsamic, since I was out. It was very good, and if I ever prepare it for a group, I'll use the plate as stated in the recipe.

This was Okay. I did not add as much garlic...5 cloves just seemed extreme (cut to 2). Make sure you use a really good olive oil and balsamic vinegar for the best taste.

I used minced garlic so maybe that's why it didn't come out as good as it should've...It was just way too much garlic for me though. Thanks for the recipe all in all!
