Unlimited pasta is coming back to Olive Garden
Digest more
Unlimited pasta is coming back to Olive Garden but only the most loyal customers will be offered the promotion early. Olive Garden’s “Never Ending Pasta Bowl” made its debut in the mid-1990s and has returned to the menu periodically throughout the years.
Olive Garden, the largest division of Orlando, Fla.-based Darden Restaurants Inc., will bring back its Never Ending Pasta Bowl at the same price as 2022, the company said this week.
The Never Ending Pasta Bowl menu does, eventually, have to come to an end. From what we're told, the limited-time promotion will run from August 25 to November 16. However, if you're an Olive Garden eClub member, you unlock early access to the "pastabilities" starting on Monday, August 18.
Olive Garden only raised its prices by about 2% last year, lower than the rate of inflation. Meanwhile, profits jumped 12.7% in the latest quarter compared to the year before. So, how does it make the promotion’s math work?
