Olive Garden Pasta Pass Returns: 13 Weeks for $100
Olive Garden is bringing back its popular Never-Ending Pasta Pass for the first time since 2019. Only 10,000 passes will be available for $100 plus tax, and they go on sale on July 16, 2026, at 2 p.m. ET through PastaPass.com. These passes have historically sold out within minutes, so anyone interested should be ready when the sale begins.
What the Pasta Pass Includes
The Pasta Pass provides unlimited dine-in visits for 13 weeks, from August 24 through November 22, 2026. Passholders can order unlimited Never-Ending Pasta Bowl creations, including pasta, sauces and protein toppings, along with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks. The pass also gives holders one week of early access before the regular Never-Ending Pasta Bowl promotion begins nationwide on August 31.
The pass is valid at Olive Garden locations in the continental United States and must be presented before ordering. It is for the named passholder only, cannot be shared or transferred, and is valid for dine-in visits only. It cannot be used for online orders, takeout or delivery.
Is It Worth It?
First you have to like Olive Garden. I have never been to one, so I can’t judge their food.
But at $100, the pass pays for itself after roughly seven visits based on the regular Never-Ending Pasta Bowl starting price of $14.99. Anyone who visits almost once a week during the 13-week period could get substantial value, especially since protein toppings are included with the pass.
The main challenge will be actually getting one. Only 10,000 passes are being sold nationwide, and Olive Garden says previous Pasta Pass releases were claimed within minutes.
