Olive Garden specials and current menu offers

These are current offer categories, not a promise that every item or price is available at every restaurant.

Family-Style Meals

Family-size pans and bundles are promoted for group orders, with local selection and pricing.

$6 Take Home Entrees

With a qualifying entree, participating restaurants offer a chilled Fettuccine Alfredo, Five Cheese Ziti al Forno or Spaghetti with Meat Sauce for $6; limits and exclusions apply.

Lunch-Sized Favorites

Participating restaurants promote weekday lunch choices Monday through Friday before 3 p.m.

Italian-Inspired Cocktails

Alcohol availability, price, age requirements and local restrictions depend on the restaurant and jurisdiction.

Live limited-time offer pages

Olive Garden also has live pages for these limited-time offers. Check your restaurant for the final price and availability.

Buy One, Take One

Choose one entree for now, soup or salad, breadsticks and a classic to take home. Some first entree choices cost extra.

Calabrian Summer Menu

The current page lists four spicy chicken, sausage, steak and shrimp dishes. Selection and prices can vary by restaurant.

Verify a special before ordering

Use the current official offer details instead of an old screenshot, social post or search snippet.

  1. Open the official Specials page and read the current offer terms.
  2. Select the restaurant where you plan to dine or collect the order.
  3. Check eligible items, dates, exclusions, quantity limits and required purchase.
  4. Confirm the final price and discount in the cart or with restaurant staff.

Before you order

Current specials, deals and offer rules

Check which Olive Garden offers are active now. Do not treat an old deal, local test or third-party coupon as a current national offer.

A promotion is useful only when its dates, participation, eligible items, order channel, exclusions and local price are current. An old advertisement does not prove that the same terms apply today.

Use this page to plan your order. Pick your restaurant on the Olive Garden website before you buy because prices and menu choices can change.

What to check

Look at these details before you order:

  • Offers shown on the current official Specials page
  • National terms versus restaurant participation
  • Dine-in, pickup, delivery and catering eligibility
  • Base price versus upgrades, tax, fees and beverages

What can change

These details may be different by restaurant, date or order type:

  • Promotion start and end dates
  • Restaurant participation and local pricing
  • Eligible menu items and permitted upgrades
  • Order channel, coupon rules and account requirements

If the website is not clear, call the restaurant before you go.

How to check the details

Follow these steps before you visit or place an order:

  1. Pick the restaurant. Match the full street address.
  2. Choose the time. Set the date, time and order type.
  3. Match the item. Check the size, sides, sauce, drink and extras.
  4. Check the final details. Open the Olive Garden Specials page and pick the restaurant and order type. Read the rules and make sure the deal appears before you travel or pay.

Common mistakes

Do not rely on an old photo, an old price or the menu from another restaurant.

  • Publishing an expired offer as active because it still receives searches
  • Ignoring exclusions or required purchase terms
  • Comparing promotional price without the final checkout total
