Olive Garden is bringing back never-ending pasta bowls - but it'll cost you a few more bucks than it did before 2020. Olive Garden is bringing back (some of) its never-ending pasta deals.

YOUR LIFETIME PASTA PASS™ GETS YOU... Lifetime access to UNLIMITED servings of your favorite pastas, sauces and toppings*. UNLIMITED servings of soup or salad and breadsticks.

Each unlimited pasta combo will cost $13.99 and includes as much pasta as you can eat, along with soup or salad and those iconic Olive Garden breadsticks. For an additional $4.99, diners can add one of three Never Ending toppings: meatballs, Italian sausage, or a crispy chicken fritta.

Olive Garden's Never-Ending Pasta Bowl, which started in 1995 and has come and gone periodically since then, offers a variety of pastas with different toppings with optional add-ons for an extra charge.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The president of the Olive Garden restaurant chain has apologized to a Kansas City police officer after a restaurant employee asked him to leave because he was armed.

Never-Ending Pasta Bowl is back! Join us at your local Olive Garden to enjoy never-ending combinations of your favorite pastas, sauces and toppings.

Italian pasta shapes are coded by their ending: -ini, -elli, -illi or -etti mean “little,” and -oni, or “one,” means “large.” Other suffixes include -otti (“largish”) and -acci (“badly made”). Example: Spaghettini is very thin, spaghetti is the common medium round rod and spaghettoni is thick, round noodles.

Pasta bowls are perfect for any suppers containing a sauce, such as spaghetti with marinara, shrimp and grits, or beef short ribs over mashed potatoes. This bowl is shallow enough for a salad and deep enough to hold broths.

Though the promotion is a great deal if you're dining in with a big appetite, the unlimited aspect unfortunately doesn't extend to any take-home portions. If your server is feeling generous, they will let you box up your leftovers if you have an unfinished plate, or you could wind up with some extra breadsticks.

The Never Ending Pasta, by contrast, starts you off with soup or salad and breadsticks (which are also never ending), then a large bowl of pasta, then allows you to order unlimited additional helpings of pasta as you go along.
