Olive Garden New & Limited Time Menu
The Olive Garden new and limited time menu currently lists $16.99 spicy alfredo fettuccine and the seasonal pumpkin cookie butter cheesecake at $9.29. Items in this section rotate through the year, so the dishes here are the ones available this season with prices from our latest weekly check.
Olive Garden runs a rolling set of limited time dishes alongside the permanent menu: a seasonal dessert, a new pasta, and promotional plates tied to events like the Never Ending Pasta Bowl. This page tracks whatever is on the limited time list right now with the typical US price, calories and allergens, and it changes as the restaurant does.

Olive Garden New & Limited Time Menu 2026
New & Limited Time
The limited time items on the current menu. Prices are the typical US price; the spicy alfredo fettuccine also appears on the lighter portions and lunch menus at lower prices.
What Is on the Olive Garden Limited Time Menu
Right now the section holds two items: spicy alfredo fettuccine, the house alfredo with Calabrian chili at $16.99 and 1330 calories, and the pumpkin cookie butter cheesecake at $9.29 and 620 calories a slice.
Limited time dishes usually stay for one season, roughly three months, and then either leave or graduate to the permanent menu, as the creamy mushroom ravioli and the Calabrian steak and shrimp bucatini did.
How Olive Garden Seasonal Items Work
New dishes launch nationwide on the same day and appear on the online menu first. Prices for limited time entrées follow the same regional pattern as the rest of the menu, with California, New York and Alaska running a dollar or two higher than the typical price.
When a limited time item is popular, Olive Garden keeps it and moves it into a permanent category; when it is not, it disappears at the end of the promotion. Our weekly rebuild removes items the moment they leave the official menu.
