The Olive Garden menu is built around generous Italian-American comfort food, and every sit-down entrée comes with unlimited soup or salad and warm garlic breadsticks. Whether you are planning a weekday lunch, a family dinner, or a takeout order, this guide lays out the full Olive Garden menu with prices and calories so you know exactly what to order before you arrive.
