Olive Garden Just Brought Back Its Most Famous Pasta Deal

Olive Garden’s famous Never Ending Pasta Bowl is back with unlimited favorites for $13.99.

Ask any Olive Garden patron: What makes the Italian chain stand out against the competition? Their response will unlikely be, “It’s their amazing spaghetti and meatballs,” or “Their made-from-scratch pasta.” No, everybody knows that Olive Garden’s major selling point is the unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks. In a world where portion sizes are getting smaller (shrinkflation) while prices are increasing (inflation), customers appreciate getting bang for their buck while dining out. Clearly, Olive Garden understands this. The Italian eaterie announced it is returning its most popular meal deal: The Never Ending Pasta Bowl.
