Olive Garden said fans should be aware of potential scams and that winners will only be contacted through the chain’s verified Instagram account. Complete giveaway rules are available on the Olive Garden website.
What is the Neverending Pasta Pass?
Olive Garden brought back the Never Ending Pasta Pass this year after a six-year hiatus. This promotion was last offered in 2019 and has quickly become one of the chain’s most anticipated deals.
A $100 pass gives customers unlimited access to pasta dishes, sauces, protein toppings, soups or salads, and breadsticks for 13 weeks. Olive Garden has released 10,000 passes nationwide and says they typically sell out within minutes.
“Six years later, guests are still asking about the NeverEnding Pasta Pass, which speaks to the enduring passion and connection our fans have for the pass,” Jamie Bunker, Olive Garden’s senior vice president of marketing, said in a statement.
The deal allows passholders to mix and match Olive Garden’s pasta options, sauces and toppings, making more than 120 combinations possible, according to the company.
Pasta Pass is back with the Neverending Pasta Bowl
The return of Pasta Pass comes as Olive Garden prepares to bring back its NeverEnding Pasta Bowl promotion, available to all diners from August 31st to November 22nd.
Pasta Pass holders and Olive Garden EClub members will have early access to the promotion starting August 24th.
This year’s menu also includes two new options: spicy alfredo sauce and crispy shrimp frita toppings.
Olive Garden first introduced the Never Ending Pasta Pass in 2014. The promotion has since become a fan favorite, with customers coming back every time the chain brings back the limited-time offer.
