Olive Garden's Never Ending Pasta Bowl is the chain's flagship annual promotion — running every fall since 1995. For a fixed price ($13.99 in 2026), dine-in guests choose any pasta shape paired with any sauce and refill the bowl as many times as they want.

The promo period typically runs from early September into early November. The "with unlimited meat topping" upgrade ($16.99) adds your choice of meatballs, Italian sausage or crispy chicken fritta, with the meat itself unlimited as well.

2025 added a creamy four-cheese sauce and a new short pasta shape to the rotation. In some years, Olive Garden has also bundled an annual "Never Ending Pasta Pass" that lets one buyer eat NEPB unlimited for the full promo window.

Dine-in only. Promo window varies year to year — confirm at olivegarden.com or with your local store.

  • $13.99 — unlimited pasta with choice of sauce
  • $16.99 — unlimited pasta + unlimited meat topping
  • Sept–Nov typical promo window

About these prices. Pricing shown is national-average as of May 2026, sourced from publicly documented Olive Garden pricing.

Price comparison

How Olive Garden menu prices compare to Carrabba's, Maggiano's & Buca di Beppo

Like-for-like price check across four U.S. casual-dining Italian-American chains, May 2026 national averages. Olive Garden remains the cheapest of the four at most categories; Maggiano's is the priciest with the largest portions.

Dietary & allergen guide

Vegetarian, lighter and gluten-sensitive picks (with prices)

Olive Garden's menu is unusually vegetarian-friendly for a casual-dining chain — Fettuccine Alfredo, Five Cheese Ziti al Forno, Cheese Ravioli, Tortellini al Forno and Eggplant Parmigiana are all default vegetarian. The Soup, Salad & Breadsticks tier is fully vegetarian (Minestrone is the vegetarian soup choice).

Olive Garden also runs a published Lighter Italian Fare line — entrées under 600 calories — for diners watching calories without giving up sit-down service.

Gluten-sensitive guests can request gluten-sensitive rotini, which subs into most pasta entrées for a small upcharge. Olive Garden does not maintain a certified gluten-free kitchen and notes that cross-contact is possible. Confirm with your server if you have a serious allergy.

Cross-contact possible. Confirm with your server for any serious allergy or celiac.

About Olive Garden

The casual-dining chain built around abundance and "When you're here, you're family."

General Mills opened the first Olive Garden in Orlando, Florida in 1982 as the company's bet on the then-emerging casual-dining segment. Four decades on, Olive Garden is the largest Italian-American restaurant chain in the United States and the flagship of Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI), the country's largest full-service restaurant operator.

What the brand is built around hasn't changed: a sit-down Italian-American menu anchored by unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks with every entrée, the Tour of Italy combination plate, the annual Never Ending Pasta Bowl, and family-style take-home meals that feed 4–6. The chain has been described as the entry-point casual-dining experience for American families — affordable enough for a weeknight, full-service enough for a special occasion, and consistent across all 880 locations.

Olive Garden has no franchisees in North America — all restaurants are corporate-owned, which gives the chain unusually tight pricing and menu consistency across markets.

Common questions

Olive Garden menu — frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions people most commonly ask about Olive Garden's menu, prices, lunch deals and family meals.

How much is the Olive Garden Tour of Italy in 2026?

The Tour of Italy is priced around $22.49 at most U.S. Olive Garden locations as of May 2026. It's Olive Garden's flagship combination plate: a portion of Lasagna Classico, a piece of Chicken Parmigiana, and a side of Fettuccine Alfredo together on one plate. Like all entrées at Olive Garden, the Tour of Italy comes with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks at no extra charge. Pricing runs $1–$3 higher in California, the Northeast and major metros.

What is the Never Ending Pasta Bowl price at Olive Garden?

The Never Ending Pasta Bowl runs $13.99 during its promo window (typically September through November). Customers pick a pasta shape and a sauce and can refill the bowl as many times as they want — dine-in only. The upgraded version with unlimited meat topping (meatballs, Italian sausage, or crispy chicken fritta) is $16.99. The 2025 edition added new sauce options including a creamy four-cheese, and the promo has run annually since 1995.

How much is the Lunch Duo at Olive Garden?

Olive Garden's Lunch Duos start at $8.99 and top out at $9.99. They're available weekdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and include a lunch-portion pasta (or chicken parm sandwich, or unlimited soup-and-salad) plus your choice of unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks. Eligible pastas include Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Five Cheese Ziti al Forno, Fettuccine Alfredo and Cheese Ravioli — making this the cheapest way to get a full Olive Garden meal.

Are breadsticks really unlimited at Olive Garden?

Yes — unlimited breadsticks and soup or salad come free with every entrée, including Lunch Duos and Never Ending Pasta Bowl. Servers bring an opening basket of breadsticks (typically one per guest plus an extra) and will replenish for as long as you're eating. They're brushed with butter and garlic salt and baked in-house. The breadsticks are a brand identity item — Olive Garden has poured them into branded retail merchandise (scented candles, frozen retail breadsticks) and they regularly trend on social media.

How much is a Family Meal at Olive Garden?

Olive Garden's Family-Style Meals are priced $52.99 to $64.99 and feed 4–6 people. Each bundle includes a family-size pasta entrée, a family-size salad and 8 breadsticks. The Five Cheese Ziti and Fettuccine Alfredo Family Meals are the cheapest at $52.99; the Chicken Alfredo Family Meal is the priciest at $64.99. The Create-Your-Own bundle starts at $50 and lets you pick two pasta entrées plus salad and breadsticks. Family Meals are designed for takeout and travel well.

What's the cheapest entrée at Olive Garden?

The cheapest full sit-down entrée is the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce at $13.99, with the Cheese Ravioli ($14.49) and Five Cheese Ziti al Forno ($15.49) close behind. If you count the Lunch Duo ($8.99) or the Soup, Salad & Breadsticks all-you-can-eat at lunch ($10.99), those are the cheapest paths to a meal. A Side of Pasta with Marinara is $4.99, and an extra basket of Garlic Breadsticks is $4.49 — but a basket also comes free with any entrée, so most diners skip the paid extra.

Does Olive Garden have a kids' menu?

Yes. The Olive Garden kids' menu is priced $5.99 to $7.99 for ages 12 and under. Options include Macaroni & Cheese ($5.99), Spaghetti with Marinara ($6.49), Fettuccine Alfredo ($6.99), Cheese Pizza ($6.99), Spaghetti & Meatball ($7.49) and Chicken Fingers ($7.99). All kids' meals include a side and a soft drink. Kids also get unlimited breadsticks and salad/soup from the adult menu at no charge.

Is Olive Garden more expensive at dinner than lunch?

Yes — dinner portions are larger and priced higher than lunch portions. A Fettuccine Alfredo Lunch Duo is $9.49 (lunch portion + soup or salad + breadsticks). The same pasta at dinner is $15.99 (full portion). The lunch portion is roughly 60–70% of the dinner portion. Lunch Duos are only available 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays. After 3 p.m. and on weekends, the full dinner menu and dinner pricing apply, even if you order one of the same pasta dishes.

Can I take Olive Garden home?

Yes — Olive Garden offers takeout, curbside pickup and delivery through its website and app, and most chain delivery platforms (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub). The Family-Style Meals are designed specifically for takeout and feed 4–6 people for $52.99–$64.99. Olive Garden does not always include free breadsticks with takeout the same way it does dine-in — most stores include a set quantity per entrée. Confirm with your specific location.

Does Olive Garden serve wine?

Yes. Olive Garden runs a real wine program — house pour glass from $5.50, premium glasses $7.50–$11.00, half-bottles $13–$25 and full bottles $22–$42, with selection varying store to store. Pours include Pinot Grigio, Chianti Classico, Cabernet Sauvignon, Moscato and seasonal options. Olive Garden also offers cocktails (frozen strawberry margarita $8.99, classic Italian cocktails) and non-alcoholic Italian-inspired drinks like Strawberry Limonata and Italian Sodas. Wine availability is subject to state and local liquor laws.
