Browse the complete 2026 Olive Garden menu with prices, calories, and nutrition info for 163 items across 16 categories, with local prices from 49 states.
The Olive Garden Family-Style Meals Menu is where I send anyone who needs to feed a table at home without cooking. It covers family size pans that serve four to six, bundles that add a jumbo salad and breadsticks, and large lasagna orders for up to twelve, all for pickup and delivery only.
Family style menu prices start at $46.99 for a spaghetti pan, and split across five people most pans cost under fifteen dollars a head. That is why these pans show up at birthdays and office lunches. See the Olive Garden family style menu for cost per person.
Olive Garden family bundles pair a family size pan with a jumbo house salad and a dozen breadsticks so the whole meal arrives in one order. The chicken alfredo bundle at $79.49 and the lasagna bundle are the two people order most, and the large lasagna bundle stretches to twelve.
I find bundles are the better buy when you would have added salad and breadsticks anyway. The bundle usually costs a few dollars less than the three items ordered separately from the family style menu.
Olive Garden family size pans are the dinner recipes cooked in a foil tray that serves four to six. Fettuccine alfredo and five cheese ziti al forno are the cheapest pans on the family style menu, and the shrimp and chicken pastas cost the most.
Pans do not include salad or breadsticks, so add them from the sides menu or choose a bundle instead. Soups come by the quart for six or twelve servings, and every pan reheats well in the oven.
The Olive Garden Appetizers Menu is where most tables begin, usually with breadsticks already on the way. This section includes fried mozzarella, toasted ravioli, calamari, lasagna fritta, spinach artichoke dip and shrimp fritto misto. I like these starters because every plate is sized to share between two or three people.
Appetizer menu prices run from $4.79 for extra breadsticks to $13.49 for the shrimp fritto misto, with most starters between ten and twelve dollars. Fried mozzarella is the one people order most. See the Olive Garden appetizers menu for calories and dipping sauces.
Olive Garden appetizers are shareable plates, and most of them are fried. Breadsticks with dipping sauce is the cheapest starter on the menu and the shrimp fritto misto is the most filling, while calamari and the spinach artichoke dip are the lighter picks.
I usually suggest one appetizer for every two or three people because the entrées already come with soup or salad and breadsticks. The appetizers menu prices sit between ten and twelve dollars for most plates.
The Olive Garden New & Limited Time Menu is the shortest section on the page and the one that changes most often. It holds the dishes the restaurant is promoting this season, usually a seasonal pasta and a seasonal dessert. I check this part of the Olive Garden menu first when I want to see what feels new.
Limited time menu prices follow the regular menu for the same type of dish, and items are not always available at every location. This list refreshes each week from the live Olive Garden menu. See the limited time menu for what is on right now.
These are the dishes Olive Garden is promoting this season, and they usually stay on the menu for two or three months. Limited time menu prices follow the regular menu for the same type of dish.
Availability varies by restaurant, so check the local Olive Garden menu before you go. This list refreshes each week from the live menu.
The Olive Garden Classic Entrées Menu is the heart of the restaurant and the section most people picture when they think of the Olive Garden menu. It includes chicken parmigiana, lasagna classico, the Tour of Italy, shrimp scampi and the grilled chicken and salmon plates, each served with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks.
Entrée menu prices start at $13.99 for spaghetti with marinara and reach $27.29 for the herb grilled salmon, with most pastas between sixteen and twenty two dollars. Many dishes also come in lunch and lighter sizes. See the classic entrées menu for every price and calorie count.
Olive Garden classic entrées are the full dinner portions, each served with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks. Pasta dishes are the cheapest group on the entrée menu, the chicken and shrimp plates sit in the middle, and the steak and salmon plates cost the most.
Many of these dishes also come as a lunch or lighter portion at a lower price, and the item pages show every version side by side with calories. Chicken alfredo and the Tour of Italy are the two entrées people search for most.
The Olive Garden Amazing Alfredos Menu groups the five alfredo pastas that sell more than anything else on the Olive Garden menu. Fettuccine alfredo is the base, and chicken, shrimp, seafood and chicken tortelloni build on it. I think of this section as the comfort food corner because every plate is rich, creamy and familiar.
Alfredo menu prices run from $16.99 for fettuccine alfredo to $22.49 for seafood alfredo, and chicken alfredo at $20.79 is the single most ordered dish in the restaurant. Calories are the highest on the menu here. See the Olive Garden alfredo menu for lighter and lunch sizes.
Olive Garden alfredo pastas share one sauce and differ only by the protein on top. Fettuccine alfredo is the base and the cheapest plate, seafood alfredo costs the most, and chicken alfredo is the best seller on the whole Olive Garden menu.
All five are among the highest calorie dishes in the restaurant, so the lighter portion or the lunch size is a fair compromise for anyone who wants the same sauce with a smaller plate.
The Olive Garden Soups & Salads Menu is built around the unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks that come with every entrée and can also be ordered as a meal on their own. It includes the four homemade soups, the famous house salad and the breadsticks. I see this as the part of the Olive Garden menu people come back for.
Soup and salad menu prices are $10.49 for the weekday lunch special and $12.99 at dinner, and zuppa toscana is the soup people order most. Minestrone is the lightest and the only vegan one. See the soups and salads menu for calories and refill rules.
Olive Garden soup, salad and breadsticks are refilled without limit in the dining room, and this section shows the menu prices for ordering them on their own or to go. The four homemade soups change little through the year.
Zuppa toscana is the soup people order most, minestrone is the only vegan one, and the house salad with the signature Italian dressing is part of nearly every meal at Olive Garden.
The Olive Garden Lighter Portions Menu offers smaller plates of eight popular entrées at a lower price and a lower calorie count. The recipes match the dinner versions; only the portion is smaller. I recommend this section of the Olive Garden menu to anyone who wants the full experience without leaving with a box.
Lighter portion menu prices start at $11.49 for spaghetti, and each plate still comes with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks. Most dishes here are under 600 calories before the extras. See the lighter portions menu to compare every dish with its dinner size.
Olive Garden lighter portions are smaller plates of the dinner dishes, priced a few dollars below the dinner size and mostly under 600 calories before soup or salad. They are available all day, unlike the lunch menu.
I point people here when they want chicken parmigiana or fettuccine alfredo without the full dinner portion, since the recipe is identical and the calorie count drops by about a third.
The Olive Garden Create Your Own Pasta Menu is one item that turns into dozens of dishes. You choose a pasta, a sauce and an optional topping, and the kitchen builds it to order. Gluten free rotini and whole grain linguine are on the pasta list, so this is the easiest way to fit a dietary need.
Create your own pasta menu prices start at $13.99 with any pasta and sauce, and toppings such as grilled chicken or shrimp add a few dollars each. Soup or salad and breadsticks are included, which makes it one of the best value entrées on the Olive Garden menu. See every combination.
Olive Garden create your own pasta covers any pasta with any sauce for one price, with toppings added separately. Gluten free rotini and whole grain linguine make this the easiest place on the menu to build a dish around a dietary need.
Rosa sauce, half alfredo and half marinara, is the off menu combination servers know best, and it costs nothing extra.
The Olive Garden Lunch Menu runs Monday through Friday until 3 PM and covers eleven lunch sized favorites plus the unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks. The portions are smaller than dinner and the prices sit several dollars lower, and soup or salad still comes with every plate. It is the best value window of the whole Olive Garden menu.
Lunch menu prices start at $11.49 for spaghetti and the unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks lunch costs $10.49. Lunch pricing is not offered on weekends or holidays. See the Olive Garden lunch menu and the lunch hours for the cut off at your restaurant.
Olive Garden lunch sized favorites are available Monday through Friday until 3 PM. Each plate comes with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks, which is why a lunch entrée often costs less than a dinner appetizer and entrée together.
The lunch menu prices run a few dollars below the same dish at dinner, and the weekday lunch special is the cheapest full meal Olive Garden serves.
The Olive Garden Desserts Menu has seven choices, and tiramisu and the black tie mousse cake are the two people order most. The warm Italian doughnuts are the shareable option and the seasonal cheesecake changes a few times a year. Dessert is one of the few parts of the Olive Garden menu where the portion is large enough to split.
Dessert menu prices run from $8.49 for the doughnuts to $9.79 for the black tie mousse cake, and whole cakes are sold on the catering menu for parties. See the Olive Garden desserts menu for calories and the best options to take home.
Olive Garden desserts are all portioned for two, and the tiramisu and the black tie mousse cake have been on the menu for decades. The warm Italian doughnuts are the pick for a table that wants to share.
Whole cakes are available to order on the catering menu for parties, and the dessert menu prices stay under ten dollars a slice.
The Olive Garden Sides & Sauces Menu is the section people use to build a meal their own way. It includes side portions of meatballs, sausage, grilled chicken and shrimp, extra breadsticks, and large containers of alfredo, marinara and meat sauce to take home. I use it to add protein to a plain pasta.
Sides menu prices start at $4.79 for extra breadsticks and sauces from $9.49 for marinara. A side of meatballs or grilled chicken often costs less than the jump from a plain pasta to the named dish. See the sides and sauces menu for every add on.
Olive Garden sides and sauces let you add protein to a plain pasta, take home extra breadsticks, or buy sauce in a large container. A side of meatballs or grilled chicken costs less than upgrading to the named dish.
The take home sauces are the quiet favorite in this section because a container of alfredo or marinara from the Olive Garden menu covers two or three meals at home.
The Olive Garden Drinks Menu covers fourteen non alcoholic options: fountain drinks, iced teas, lemonades, the Italian limonatas, Italian sodas and bottled waters. Soft drinks and teas are refilled free in the dining room, so the price you see is the price for the whole meal. The limonatas are the drinks that feel special.
Drink menu prices start at $3.69 for the half iced tea and half lemonade and run to $4.79 for the limonatas. Gallons of tea and lemonade are on the catering menu. See the Olive Garden drinks menu for calories and the zero sugar choices.
Olive Garden drinks include free refills on fountain drinks and teas in the dining room. The limonatas and Italian sodas are made to order and are the only drinks on this menu with real calories to watch.
Bottled waters and the zero sugar sodas are the lightest choices, and the drink menu prices are the same at lunch and dinner.
The Olive Garden Wine & Beer To Go Menu lists the sealed bottles you can add to a pickup order where state law allows, and it is the same wine list poured by the glass in the dining room. Twenty bottles cover featured wines, whites, reds and beers. There is no happy hour, so these prices hold all day.
Wine menu prices start at $25.50 for the Primo Amore moscato and beer at $5.99 a bottle. Alcohol cannot be delivered and you need ID at pickup. See the Olive Garden wine list or the happy hour page for drink prices in the restaurant.
Olive Garden featured wines are the bottles promoted on the table menu right now, usually a sweet moscato and a popular red. They are the same wines sold by the glass in the dining room, and the to go price covers a sealed bottle for pickup.
The Olive Garden white wine list leans sweet and light, with moscato, pinot grigio, riesling and a chardonnay. These pair well with the chicken and shrimp pastas, and the Primo Amore moscato is the best selling bottle on the whole wine menu.
Olive Garden red wines cover Chianti, cabernet, merlot and pinot noir. The Chianti Classico is the traditional match for lasagna and the meat sauce dishes, and the Meiomi pinot noir is the most expensive bottle on the to go list.
Olive Garden beer to go is limited to the major domestic lagers, a light option or two, and a non alcoholic Heineken 0.0. Bottles are sold individually at one price, and there is no happy hour discount at any time of day.
The Olive Garden Gluten Sensitive Menu lists eleven dishes prepared without gluten containing ingredients: gluten free rotini pastas, grilled chicken and salmon plates, the house salad without croutons and a few soups. The kitchen is shared, so Olive Garden calls it gluten sensitive rather than gluten free, and I keep that distinction here.
Gluten sensitive menu prices start at $13.99 for rotini with marinara and reach $27.29 for the herb grilled salmon. Breadsticks are not on this list. See the Olive Garden gluten free menu and the allergen guide before you order.
Every dish on the Olive Garden gluten sensitive menu is prepared without gluten containing ingredients but in a shared kitchen. Gluten free rotini replaces the regular pasta, the grilled proteins come without breading, and the house salad comes without croutons.
I always suggest telling the server about a gluten allergy when you order, since the menu is labelled gluten sensitive rather than gluten free for that reason.
The Olive Garden Kids Menu serves children twelve and under and covers eleven meals: kids pastas, chicken fingers, the kids pizza and a few grilled options, each with a side and a drink. The portions are generous for the price, and the pastas are the same recipes adults eat in a smaller bowl.
Kids menu prices are $6.99 for ten of the eleven meals, and the kids pasta with meatballs is the one families order most. Kids eat free offers appear a few times a year on the specials page. See the Olive Garden kids menu for calories and sides.
Olive Garden kids meals are for children twelve and under and include a side and a drink. Ten of the eleven meals share one price, and the kids pastas can be ordered with marinara, meat sauce or alfredo.
The kids pizza and the chicken fingers are the two meals families order most, and the kids menu prices are among the lowest in casual dining.
The Olive Garden Catering Menu is the largest section on this page, with 42 items across catering pans, meal combinations, the create your own pasta station, appetizers, sauces, desserts and drinks. Pans serve four to six or up to twelve, combinations feed eight to fourteen, and delivery is available on orders over $100.
Catering menu prices start at $4.79 for a dozen breadsticks and the full meal combinations cost $217.00. The catering cost estimator works out the per person cost of any order. See the Olive Garden catering menu for serving sizes and lead times.
Olive Garden catering pans are the biggest trays on the menu and serve four to six people each, with lasagna classico stretching to twelve. They cover the same pastas as the dinner menu plus a few catering only options, and every pan arrives ready to serve.
Olive Garden catering meal combinations are complete party orders for eight to fourteen people: a main pan, salad, breadsticks and in some cases a second entrée. They are the simplest way to feed a large group with one decision and one price.
The Olive Garden create your own pasta station is a build your own bar with two pastas, three sauces and three toppings, served with salad and breadsticks. It suits events where guests want to choose their own plate.
Olive Garden catering soups come by the gallon, the jumbo house salad serves about six, and breadsticks come by the dozen. These are the add ons most catering orders need.
Olive Garden catering appetizers are large pans of the dining room starters: fried mozzarella, toasted ravioli, chicken fingers for kids and the spinach artichoke dip. Each pan serves four to six people.
Perfect additions are the proteins and vegetables that round out an Olive Garden catering order: meatballs, sausage, grilled chicken, shrimp and broccoli, each in a pan that serves four to six.
Olive Garden catering sauces come in containers that serve eight and are the cheapest way to bring the alfredo or five cheese marinara home. They freeze well and reheat on the stove.
Olive Garden catering desserts are whole cakes and full tiramisu for parties. Each serves about twelve and costs a fraction of ordering slices at the table.
Olive Garden menu prices are one of the biggest reasons people search online before they go. Customers want to know how much chicken alfredo, the Tour of Italy, appetizers or a lunch plate will cost before they sit down. This page lists the typical US price for every item, taken from the online menu of one restaurant in each state every week, so the number you see is the one most restaurants charge. The official Olive Garden website and app show the exact price for your restaurant.
An Olive Garden menu with prices should be read as a guide, not as a fixed price list for every store. I have seen the same dish cost $20.79 in one state and several dollars more in California or New York. That is why every item page on this site shows the lowest and highest price we found, and why the app is the place to confirm the total before you order.
Why Olive Garden Prices Vary by State
Several things change the final price of an Olive Garden order.
Location
Prices are set by market. California, New York, Washington and Alaska run one to five dollars higher per entrée; most other states share the typical US price.
Portion
Many dishes come in dinner, lighter and lunch sizes at three different prices. The item pages show all of them side by side.
Add ons
Toppings on a create your own pasta, a side of meatballs, or a take home entrée change the ticket. Soup or salad and breadsticks are always included with an entrée.
Delivery method
Third party delivery apps mark up menu prices and add fees. Pickup through olivegarden.com or the app keeps the menu price.
Promotions
Limited time deals such as the Never Ending Pasta Bowl or the $6 take home entrée change what you pay, and some run only in selected restaurants.
Treat any online price guide as an estimate until you see the checkout total. The Olive Garden app, the website, a delivery service or the printed menu at your restaurant shows the exact price for that order.
The best pasta dishes are the alfredos, the Tour of Italy at $22.49, lasagna classico at $18.49 and the five cheese ziti al forno. Fettuccine alfredo at $16.99 is the cheapest of the famous plates, and create your own pasta is the one I recommend to anyone who wants a specific sauce and pasta pairing.
Best Olive Garden Chicken and Seafood Entrées
Chicken parmigiana at $20.49, chicken marsala and the grilled chicken margherita cover the chicken side; shrimp scampi at $20.79 and the herb grilled salmon lead the seafood plates. The grilled options are also the lowest calorie entrées on the menu.

Best Olive Garden Desserts
Tiramisu at $9.29 and the black tie mousse cake are the two desserts that have stayed on the menu for decades, and the warm Italian doughnuts are the shareable pick. The seasonal cheesecake changes a few times a year.
Olive Garden Menu by Time of Day
The Olive Garden menu by time of day helps you choose based on when you are ordering. Weekday lunch is the value window, dinner has the full menu, and late evening is when ToGo and delivery orders take over. Most restaurants open at 11 AM and close at 10 PM, an hour later on Friday and Saturday; the hours page has the details.

Olive Garden Late Night and ToGo
There is no separate late night menu. The kitchen serves the dinner menu until closing, and ToGo orders through the app stop a little before the doors close. Family style pans are pickup and delivery only and are the usual evening order for a household.
Olive Garden Weekend and Holiday Menu
Weekends serve the dinner menu all day with no lunch pricing. The restaurant closes on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day and runs reduced hours on Christmas Eve; the holiday hours table lists every date for this year.
Olive Garden Deals and Value Menu
Olive Garden does not run a value menu in the fast food sense, but the everyday structure of the menu, the unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks with every entrée, is the deal. On top of that there are a handful of recurring offers worth knowing about, and the specials page tracks the ones live right now.
Buy One, Take One
The Buy One, Take One promotion returns a few times a year: order one entrée from a set list and take a second one home cold. When it runs it is the best value on the menu for two meals.
The $6 Take Home Entrée
Every day, with any entrée, you can add a second entrée from a short list to take home for six dollars. It is listed at checkout on the app and mentioned by servers; it is the deal I use most often.
Never Ending Pasta Bowl
The Never Ending Pasta Bowl comes back for a limited window each year, usually late summer into fall, with unlimited pasta, sauce and breadsticks at one price announced at launch.
Best Value Picks from the Menu
Outside promotions, the weekday lunch special at $10.49, create your own pasta at $13.99, the kids meals at $6.99 and the family pans split across five people are the picks that stretch furthest. The coupons page explains the eClub welcome and birthday offers.
Olive Garden Nutrition and Allergen Information
Olive Garden nutrition and allergen information matters for anyone counting calories, managing an allergy or eating vegetarian. Every item page on this site carries the full nutrition panel from the official guide, and the nutrition calculator adds up a whole meal. The nutrition facts page ranks every dish by calories, protein, carbs, fat and sodium.
Olive Garden Calories Guide
Dinner entrées range from about 490 calories for shrimp scampi to well over 1,500 for the biggest alfredo plates, before soup, salad and breadsticks. Each breadstick adds 140 calories with the garlic topping. Lighter portions and lunch sizes cut most dishes by a third or more.
Olive Garden Allergen Information
Olive Garden publishes an allergen guide that flags milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts and sesame for every dish. The allergen guide on this site reproduces it in a filterable table so you can hide anything that contains an allergen before you order.
Healthier Choices on the Olive Garden Menu
The grilled chicken margherita, herb grilled salmon and shrimp scampi are the lowest calorie entrées, and minestrone is the lightest soup. Spaghetti or rotini with marinara, minestrone, the house salad without dressing and croutons, and breadsticks without the garlic topping are on the official vegan list.
