Olive Garden’s Never Ending Pasta Bowl Is Back After a 2-Year Hiatus

Are you in need of some really good news? Well, you’re in luck because the Olive Garden is here to deliver. 

On Monday, Olive Garden announced that its fan-favorite Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion is finally returning on August 26. And it appears inflation has not hit Olive Garden, as the deal will cost you $13.99 — the same price it was going for way back in 2022. 

“In the spirit of treating our guests like family, Olive Garden is excited to bring back our guests’ favorite promotion of the year – Never Ending Pasta Bowl – at the same price since 2022,” Jaime Bunker, senior vice president of marketing at Olive Garden, shared with Food & Wine. “Guests continue to look for great deals when dining out, and Never Ending Pasta Bowl is the ultimate value, offering unlimited amounts of their favorite pastas, plus as much soup or salad and freshly baked breadsticks as they choose.”

The deal still includes all the bells and whistles it used to, including as much pasta as guests can handle, along with the reason we’re all here — unlimited amounts of baked breadsticks. And yeah, there’s also the choice of unlimited homemade soup or salad, but again, we get all the breadsticks we want. 

Guests at Olive Garden can also level up their Never Ending Pasta Bowl deal by adding never-ending toppings for $4.99 (which the brand notes is also the same price since the promotion las ran in 2022). For that $4.99, you can choose from 80 (yes, 80) possible pasta bowl combos. According to the Olive Garden, guests can choose from:

• Pastas: Fettuccine, Spaghetti, Rigatoni, and Angel Hair
• Sauces: Creamy Mushroom (vegetarian), Traditional Marinara (vegan), Five Cheese Marinara (vegetarian), Traditional Meat Sauce, and Alfredo (vegetarian)
• Toppings: Meatballs, Italian Sausage, and Crispy Chicken Fritta

Of course, there’s a catch. The Never Ending Pasta Bowl will only be available until November 17. But, eClub members and Olive Garden’s social media followers can get early access to the Never Ending Pasta Bowl deal starting August 19. Those who want an extra week of pasta and breadsticks can sign up for Olive Garden’s eClub or follow on social @olivegarden across Facebook, X, Instagram, or TikTok to see how they can snag the deal early.
