Feeling hungry? Like, really, really, “I could eat pasta for hours” hungry? Great, because Olive Garden’s Never Ending Pasta Bowl is back.
Starting next Monday, August 25, fans can visit their nearest Olive Garden to order the fan-favorite Never Ending Pasta Bowl once again. And while inflation may be coming for your groceries, it isn’t coming for your pasta bowl, as the price for the Never Ending Pasta Bowl experience is still $13.99, the same price it’s been since 2022.
“That’s unlimited pasta, plus unlimited soup or salad and endless, freshly baked breadsticks, all for the same price for the fourth consecutive year,” Olive Garden shared in a statement provided to Food & Wine.
There are a few new options this year for people to enjoy as well, including a new Spicy Three-Meat Sauce. According to Olive Garden, it’s a “flavorful blend of chili flakes, cherry peppers, red bell pepper, pepperoni, red wine, garlic and herbs, and homemade meat sauce.”
Olive Garden’s fan-favorite pasta bowl is making its return starting August 25. The $13.99 deal covers unlimited pasta along with soup or salad and those signature breadsticks. For an extra $4.99, guests can keep things going with endless toppings like crispy chicken fritta, meatballs, or sausage.

If you’ve never experienced a Never Ending Pasta Bowl meal, Olive Garden wants you to know you’re in for a real treat. Guests can mix and match “up to 96 possible flavor combinations on this year’s Never Ending Pasta Bowl menu,” including choosing their pasta from options like fettuccine, spaghetti, angel hair, and rigatoni. Then, you can select your sauce from spicy three-meat, alfredo, meat sauce, five cheese marinara, traditional marinara, or creamy mushroom. For an extra $4.99, you can add endless toppings such as crispy chicken fritta, meatballs, and Italian sausage.
“Olive Garden is committed to delivering value to our guests,” Jaime Bunker, senior vice president of marketing at Olive Garden, told Food & Wine. “The return of our Never Ending Pasta Bowl is no different, and we’re proud to bring it back this year at the same price for the fourth year in a row.”
The deal is valid through November 16; however, if you’d like to extend it, you can snag early access by joining the Olive Garden eClub. Members can start exploring all the “pastabilities” beginning today, August 18, which is a full week before everyone else.
While the pasta bowls are certainly exciting, there’s another way to ensure you get your fill at Olive Garden: order your next Olive Garden soup by the gallon. As Food & Wine previously reported, to get your favorite soup (chicken & gnocchi, pasta e fagioli, minestrone, and zuppa toscana) by the bucket, you need to click on the restaurant’s catering menu when you order online. Simply go to “order now” on the Olive Garden website and select the catering option under “order type” to see a menu with larger order versions of Olive Garden classics. The only caveat is that you’ll need to order it to-go, which means you won’t be able to enjoy it at the table with your Never Ending Pasta. But that just means you get to keep the good times going at home, too.
