Ever wondered how much pasta you can devour in one meal? Olive Garden is back with its budget-friendly Never Ending Pasta Bowl, offering unlimited pasta, breadsticks, and soup or salad for just $13.99—the same price as in 2022. For an additional $4.99, you can add meatballs, Italian sausage, or breaded chicken to your dish.
Choose from pasta options like angel hair, fettuccine, rigatoni, or spaghetti, paired with sauces such as creamy mushroom, traditional marinara, five-cheese marinara, traditional meat sauce, or alfredo. (Most sauces are vegetarian, with traditional marinara being vegan.)
The promotion officially starts on August 26, as per Olive Garden’s website countdown. However, reports suggest early access from August 19 for eClub members or social media followers. Olive Garden’s social media confirms the early launch, allowing everyone to enjoy the Never Ending Pasta Bowl without restrictions. “No code or proof needed,” they state. “Simply ask your server […] and dive into endless pasta possibilities.”
While the pasta is unlimited, the combinations aren’t entirely endless. According to Food & Wine, adding the $4.99 toppings brings the total to 80 possible pairings. If you aim to sample them all, hurry—the offer ends after November 17.
A meal with unlimited sides for less than $20 is a rare treat in 2024, but the Never Ending Pasta Bowl hasn’t been immune to inflation. When Olive Garden introduced it in 1995, the price was just $6.95.
