Olive Garden Dinner Menu 2026 – Complete Price Guide

Below is the complete Olive Garden dinner menu with updated 2026 prices and calorie counts for every entree. All dinner entrees include unlimited soup or salad and unlimited breadsticks when dining in — a perk that adds significant value to every meal. Dinner is served daily, typically from 3 PM to close (10 PM Sunday-Thursday, 11 PM Friday-Saturday).

Olive Garden’s dinner menu ranges from $17.49 for the most affordable entree (Spaghetti with Meat Sauce) to $27.49 for the most premium option (Seafood Alfredo). Most entrees fall in the $19-25 range, making it competitive with other casual dining chains while offering the added value of unlimited sides.

What’s Included With Every Dinner Entree

• Unlimited fresh-baked garlic breadsticks
• Choice of unlimited house salad OR unlimited soup
• Four soup options: Zuppa Toscana, Chicken & Gnocchi, Pasta e Fagioli, Minestrone

This is what separates Olive Garden from most other restaurants — no other major chain offers unlimited soup/salad and breadsticks with every entree. When you factor in the value of 2-3 bowls of soup and a basket of breadsticks, the effective cost of just the entree portion is significantly lower than the menu price.
