Kids meals at Olive Garden are priced as a bundle: the entrée, a side such as grapes, broccoli, mashed potatoes or fries, and a drink. Pasta meals let kids pick fettuccine, spaghetti or small shells and add a protein for a small charge. This page lists every kids meal with the typical price, calories from the official guide and allergens, and points out the vegan, vegetarian and gluten sensitive choices. Adults get the unlimited breadsticks; kids get their own basket too.

Healthier Ordering Tips for Kids Menu

  • Tomato sauce pasta (80 cal for the sauce) with grapes is the lightest kids meal on the menu.
  • Pick grapes or broccoli over fries to save about 240 calories.
  • Milk or juice beats soda; both are included in the meal price.
  • Ask for parmesan on the side so kids control the salt.

Final Thoughts

The Olive Garden kids menu is cheap, flexible and sized right, with a side and a drink built in. Tomato or meat sauce pasta with grapes is the everyday order; pizza and chicken fingers are the fallbacks; and the rotini meals mean a child with celiac disease is not left out.
