Olive Garden Menu Prices and Calories

Darden's fiscal 2026 annual report (10-K) says the price of each entree includes as much fresh salad or soup and breadsticks as a guest desires. Olive Garden also pairs never-ending soup or salad and breadsticks with its Never-Ending Pasta Bowl, which in 2026 starts at $14.99 and runs August 31 to November 22. The terms on olivegarden.com, such as whether the offer is dine-in only or which menu items qualify, could not be read, so those limits are not confirmed here.

Olive Garden serves a lunch menu. Darden's fiscal 2026 10-K says most lunch entree prices ranged from $10.00 to $12.00, compared with $12.50 to $24.00 for most dinner entrees.
