Olive Garden lovers, rejoice! You are about to experience the greatest thing you've ever seen... Well, at least if you're quick about it, that is!
As reported by Dexerto, the restaurant has revealed that they're bringing back a coveted promotion people have been begging for for years.
After the success of their Never-Ending Pasta Pass, they're blessing us mere mortals who didn't get a taste of unlimited pasta with the promotion anyway.
In case you missed it (and I'm sure bummed I did!), the Never-Ending Pasta Pass offered 10,000 lucky pasta enjoyers 13 weeks of infinite pasta for just $100.
And, as Pasta Pass holders, they'll also get a hold of the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl promotion early. But, just like for us non-Pass holders, it's for a limited time.
The promotion runs from August 31 to November 22—or from August 24 if you hold a card.
This is the first time the pasta bowl promotion has seen the light of day in a few years. This year's promotion is a special one, too—120 mouthwatering combinations of pasta, sauces, and protein-based toppings.
They've even unveiled some new offerings specifically for the event. Olive Garden customers can look forward to a spicy Alfredo sauce and crispy shrimp fritta topping.

People Can't Get Enough of Olive Garden and Their Pasta Promotion
Jaime Bunker, Olive Garden's senior vice president of marketing, said that "bringing [the promotion] back felt like the right way to recognize the loyalty of so many guests who have kept it top of mind all these years."
And they certainly have. One hilarious video shared back when the promotion was running regularly showed the lengths people would go to for their endless pasta.
As reported by Dexerto, a customer back in 2023 showed off her sneaky tactics to get more pasta before she'd even finished her current plate.
It involved a pretty hilarious sleight of hand involving hiding the rigatoni under salad. Of course, the salad at Olive Garden is unlimited. So when she did that, no one batted an eyelid at it in her salad bowl, and the server asked her if she'd like another plate. Sneaky!
