After six long years, Olive Garden’s flagship promotion, the Never-Ending Pasta Pass, is officially returning.
For just $100, diners can eat their fill of the American-Italian restaurant chain’s pasta dishes during the promotion’s 13-week run. The catch? There are only 10,000 passes available.
Here’s what you should know about the Never-Ending Pasta Pass promotion – and how to snag yours.
How to Snag a Never-Ending Pasta Pass
Olive Garden announced July 13 that it is bringing back its Never-Ending Pasta Pass, a deal last offered six years ago.
The passes, limited to 10,000 nationwide, cost $100 and include 13 weeks of unlimited pasta dishes, never-ending soup or salad and breadsticks. They’ll be released on Olive Garden’s dedicated Pasta Pass website on July 16 at 2 p.m. ET.
“Even six years later, guests still ask us about Never-Ending Pasta Pass, which speaks to the lasting enthusiasm and connection our fans have for it,” said Jaime Bunker, Olive Garden’s senior vice president of marketing, in a statement. “Bringing it back felt like the right way to recognize the loyalty of so many guests who have kept it top of mind all these years, while celebrating what they love most about Olive Garden – abundance and incredible value – all wrapped into one experience.”
Never-Ending Pasta Bowl Returns
The promotion coincides with Olive Garden’s signature Never-Ending Pasta Bowl deal, which runs Aug. 31 to Nov. 22 and is open to all diners. However, passholders and EClub members can take advantage of the deal one week earlier, beginning Aug. 24.
According to Olive Garden, its line of pastas, sauces and toppings open the door to 120 unique combinations, providing customers “endless ways to mix, match, and customize their meals – whether they stick to a go-to order or try something new every time.”
This year, the restaurant is debuting two new menu additions, including a spicy alfredo sauce and crispy shrimp fritta topping.
Olive Garden first debuted its Never-Ending Pasta Pass in 2014. The last time it was offered was 2019. Every time the promotion goes on sale, the company notes, it sells out within minutes.
