An Italian exchange student is going viral on TikTok after his American host mom insisted on taking him to Olive Garden, despite his very vocal objections. Alessandro’s American host mom, Rhonda, surprised him with a trip to Olive Garden, enthusiastically announcing, "Today’s your lucky day!" while coaxing the begrudging Italian out of the car.
Alessandro continued to resist and even begged to eat at a nearby McDonald’s instead, pointing out that it’s unlikely that any Italians work at Olive Garden.“All you have that’s Italian is the name,” he said. But Rhonda persisted in taunting her exchange student until she had him inside the restaurant. Ultimately, Alessandro conceded, “This is something against my will. Just so you know."
