Never Ending Pasta Bowl returns to Olive Garden for autumn and runs until late November. The Olive Garden fall menu is built around that one offer, with unlimited pasta, sauce and toppings on a single ticket. Spicy Alfredo and Crispy Shrimp Fritta join it this year.
A diner picks a pasta, picks a sauce and keeps going for as long as the table sits. Olive Garden puts the pairings at 120. Nothing else on the Olive Garden fall menu carries a dated national run, so the pasta bowl is the whole of it.
The short answer
Never Ending Pasta Bowl runs nationwide from 31 August to 22 November 2026. One ticket buys unlimited pasta and sauce for the whole visit. Four pasta shapes meet six sauces on the offer. Dine-in only, and taking part is up to the restaurant.

Olive Garden Fall Menu with Prices
Never Ending Pasta Bowl anchors the Olive Garden fall menu and carries a dated national run rather than an open-ended listing. Unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks come with it, in the way they come with any entrée.
The Never Ending Pasta Pass is the separate collectible that goes on sale ahead of the season. Ten thousand of them were released. Each one covers thirteen weeks of the same unlimited pasta for a single holder, running the full length of the offer.
Olive Garden Never Ending Pasta Bowl Prices
One ticket covers the pasta, the sauce and every refill a diner asks for across the visit. Unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks arrive alongside it. The Never Ending Pasta Pass is bought once and then covers the whole thirteen-week run, which is what separates it from a single sitting.
