(NEXSTAR) \u2014 It’s been two years since a beloved never-ending promotion met its end. But thankfully for pasta lovers, that end was short-lived and the promotion is making a limited-time return. <\/p>\n

Following a brief hiatus, Olive Garden is bringing back its Never Ending Pasta Bowl. <\/p>\n

During an earnings call in 2021, Rick Cardenas, the president and COO of Darden Restaurants, which owns Olive Garden, said it was possible the Never Ending Pasta Bowl deal would end<\/a>. He noted the two-year break from the bowl hadn’t had a negative impact on sales and wasn’t needed to bring in customers. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut as we look forward, we don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll bring and when we\u2019ll bring Never Ending Pasta Bowl back because we have a never-ending abundance every day with our never-ending first course,\u201d Cardenas said at the time, referring to the restaurants\u2019 never-ending soup, salad and breadsticks.<\/p>\n

Less than a year later, Olive Garden has announced Never Ending Pasta Bowl is back. <\/p>\n

From October 3 to November 20, you can enjoy unlimited servings of your favorite pasta combinations, soup or salad, and breadsticks starting at $13.99. You can add never-ending toppings \u2014 meatballs, Italian sausage, or crispy chicken \u2014 for $4.99 each. <\/p>\n

This marks the 25th year Olive Garden has offered Never Ending Pasta Bowl. <\/p>\n
\u201cOlive Garden is the home of \u2018never-ending,\u2019 and the return of Never Ending Pasta Bowl, following a two-year hiatus, is an exciting moment for us and our loyal guests,” a quote from Jaime Bunker, SVP of Marketing at Olive Garden.” This is a fan-favorite promotion that our guests were eager to see on the menu again, and we\u2019re thrilled to bring it back for its 25th year.”<\/p>\n
Unlike previous years, Olive Garden will not be offering Never Ending Pasta Passes. These passes were sold in limited quantities starting in 2014 and granted the cardholder the chance to have all-they-could-eat pasta as often as they liked during a certain time period. <\/p>\n
The return of Never Ending Pasta marks yet another promotion restaurant chains have restarted this year. Red Lobster, for example, has brought back Ultimate Endless Shrimp<\/a> and McDonald’s may be resurrecting a Halloween-time favorite<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
