Limited-Time Promotions
Never Ending Pasta is Olive Garden's best-known promotion and usually returns in the fall for a few weeks. Price and dates change every year, so we update our Never Ending Pasta page when it is announced.
Seasonal dishes arrive a few times a year and often come with a launch price. They appear in our Chef Specialties section once confirmed.
Lunch Specials
Olive Garden's lunch specials are its Lunch-Size Favorites: smaller portions of classics like Chicken Parmigiana, Fettuccine Alfredo and Lasagna, served Monday to Friday until 3 p.m. with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks. See every lunch price.
Is the 2 for $25 Deal Still Available?
Olive Garden has run two-person dinner deals in the past, including a well-known 2 for $25 offer, but it isn't a standing menu item. When a meal-for-two promotion is running it appears on olivegarden.com and in the app. Today, two weekday lunch entrées or a shared appetizer plus two classic pastas is the closest everyday equivalent.
