Is the Never Ending Pasta Bowl Worth It?

An honest look at the value.

For Pasta Lovers: Absolutely.

For most guests, yes. A regular pasta entrée often costs close to the starting price of the promotion. Since the Olive Garden Never Ending Pasta Bowl includes unlimited refills plus soup or salad and breadsticks, it can offer better value for anyone planning to enjoy more than one bowl.

If you usually eat a smaller meal, however, a regular entrée may be the smarter option. You may not take full advantage of the unlimited refills.
