In a bold move to elevate the dining experience of its customers, the popular American restaurant chain Olive Garden is making some exciting announcements. The return of the crowd-pleasing Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion, a favourite classic among its guests, will take effect from August 26. In a rather surprise twist, defying the common inflation pattern, the promotion will remain priced at $13.99 - the very same price point it possessed in 2022.

"We are delighted to renew our most loved annual promotion, the Never Ending Pasta Bowl, keeping the price constant since 2022, reflecting our commitment to treat our patrons like our own family," says Jaime Bunker, Olive Garden's senior vice president of marketing, in a recent statement to Food & Wine. "While customers continue to seek amazing deals in the dining arena, our Never Ending Pasta Bowl guarantees supreme value, with infinite servings of our top-choice pastas, accompanied by unlimited homemade soup or salad and, of course, the all-time favourite - freshly baked breadsticks."

The deal ensures that diners get their fill and more, with seemingly endless pasta, and the highlight that keeps us coming back - unlimited servings of their baked breadsticks. Olive Garden guests also have the freedom to choose between a soup or a salad, essentially ensuring a more balanced meal if desired. But let's face it, we're all there for the breadsticks.

No promotion is complete without a bit of an extra sparkle. Olive Garden is enabling guests to upgrade their Never Ending Pasta Bowl offer by adding unlimited toppings for a mere $4.99 (maintaining the price point since 2022). This opens the floodgates to a possible eighty different pasta bowl combinations, all crafted to delight the taste buds and enhance the dining experience.

There's a wide selection on offer, but the availability of the Never Ending Pasta Bowl deal will continue only until November 17. However, there's good news for eClub members and Olive Garden's social media followers. They can secure early access to this incredible offer starting August 19, providing an additional week of uninhibited pasta and breadstick indulgence. One simply needs to sign up for Olive Garden's eClub or follow @olivegarden across their social platforms including Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok for details on snagging this early bird advantage.
