Olive Garden Deals: Current Offers, Prices and Smart Ways to Save
Olive Garden is built around generous portions, so its best promotions are about getting more food for one price rather than a small percentage off. This guide walks through the Olive Garden deals worth knowing this fall, what each one costs, and how to use them without surprises at the register.

Buy One, Take One
This is one of the strongest Olive Garden deals for anyone who likes leftovers on purpose. You order a pasta entrée to eat at the table, with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks, then leave with a second entrée that’s packed chilled and ready to reheat.
It starts at $14.99. Some dishes cost extra: Fettuccine Alfredo adds about $3, while Five Cheese Ziti al Forno and Lasagna add about $4. The offer has returned each spring for two years running, and it’s available for dine-in, takeout and delivery when ordered through the website or app. Because it’s a limited run, check the menu before you plan around it.
Never Ending Pasta Bowl
You pick a pasta and a sauce, and refills keep coming for as long as you’re hungry. Soup or salad and breadsticks come with it. This season it’s reported at $14.99, running from the end of August into late November.
A regular pasta entrée can run anywhere from about $14 to $24, so a hungry diner comes out ahead quickly. Toppings like chicken or shrimp are extra. Of all the Olive Garden deals on the calendar, this is the one that fills the dining room, so go on a weekday if you’d rather skip the wait.
$6 Take Home
Order any dine-in entrée and add a chilled pasta to go for $6. Reported choices include Fettuccine Alfredo, Five Cheese Ziti al Forno, Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Cheese Ravioli. It’s a simple way to cover tomorrow’s dinner, and it works well alongside our Olive Garden pasta menu.
Weekday Lunch Deals
Lunch is where the lowest prices live. Weekday combos pair a smaller portion of pasta with soup or salad and breadsticks, and the lunch pasta bowl lets you choose your pasta, sauce and protein. Lunch pricing is generally limited to weekdays, from about 11 am to 3 pm. Weekends skip it, but the ongoing Olive Garden deals still apply.
eClub and the Pasta Pass
Joining the eClub costs nothing, and members have been given early access to seasonal promotions. Birthday perks and welcome offers are also reported, though they change. Sign up only through the official website. Past Olive Garden deals have opened to members first, so it’s worth the two minutes.
The Never-Ending Pasta Pass is a separate paid pass sold during the fall promotion in past years. Check whether it’s on offer this season before you plan around it.
Takeout and Delivery
Buy One, Take One can be ordered for pickup or delivery. Most dine-in Olive Garden deals, including the Never Ending Pasta Bowl, can’t. Read the terms in your cart before paying, and remember that delivery fees are added on top. Feeding a crowd? Our Olive Garden family style meal guide covers takeout bundles, and our Olive Garden specials page keeps a running list. Not sure where to order from? Try Olive Garden near you.
