Now, Olive Garden is introducing its first-ever Lifetime Pasta Pass, which promises "a lifetime of unlimited servings of guests' favorite pastas, homemade sauces and toppings, accompanied by unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks."
In just a few days, Olive Garden will begin selling 24,000 Lifetime Pasta Passes for $100 each. Inspired by its mission to make everyone feel like family, the restaurant is making it easy and affordable for people to enjoy comforting meals for life.
