What fan favorite is returning to Olive Garden?
Olive Garden fans, get excited! The Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion is returning, which means you can really enjoy your favorite cozy pasta dishes this fall. Be sure to come hungry—this feast is designed to fill you up (and fuel you up!) for the rest of your day.
What is the Never Ending Pasta Bowl?
The Never Ending Pasta Bowl is a beloved menu item, and it isn’t hard to see why. The promotion allows you to enjoy unlimited pasta, unlimited soup or salad, and as many fresh, hot breadsticks as you can eat—all for the astoundingly low price of $13.99.
Believe it or not, Olive Garden has kept the price exactly the same since 2022. So even though our wallets are feeling the impacts of inflation, you can still enjoy the Never Ending Pasta Bowl for the same affordable price that you’ve come to expect over the last four years.
What pasta dishes are included in the promotion?
Just because the pasta bowl is never-ending doesn’t mean you have to stick to just one kind of pasta. The promotion allows you to choose from dozens of pasta-and-sauce combinations, and you can change up your order with every bowl to enjoy all of your must-have combos.
First, choose from spaghetti, angel hair, fettuccine and rigatoni. Then, pick a sauce from a long list of options that includes traditional marinara, five-cheese marinara, creamy mushroom, Alfredo, meat sauce and spicy three-meat sauce.
Pasta always tastes better at restaurants, so mix and match those pasta varieties to your heart’s content! And you can even take your experience to the next level by adding endless toppings, like meatballs, Italian sausage or crispy chicken fritta, for an additional $4.99.
How do you take advantage of the Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion?
To take advantage of the Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion, all you have to do is head to your local Olive Garden and tell your server that you’d like to place an order for the fan-favorite deal. This promotion is not an Olive Garden secret, so they’re fully prepared to keep your unlimited pasta orders coming.
What’s the catch?
There’s one small catch for anyone who is excited to experience the Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion. It’s back only for a limited eight-week run, from Aug. 25 to Nov. 16, so if you want the chance to enjoy all of your favorite pasta combinations, soup or salad and piping-hot breadsticks for an amazing price, you’ll want to head to your nearest Olive Garden and grab a table sooner rather than later. The pasta-bilities are endless!
