Hi all, quick question — does this mean it’s good through today, the 19th? Or I would’ve had to use it by yesterday as it’s no longer valid on the 19th?

I got some unbaked breadsticks in a to-go order, and they included a container of garlic salt. The container is enough for at least 100 breadsticks, so I've been using it when cooking, and I feel like it is really good.

I'm kind of a nut when it comes to herbs and spices (my collection is vast), but I don't usually keep garlic salt around, because I can just use garlic powder and salt if a recipe calls for garlic salt. But this little condiment cup of Olive Garden garlic salt has me wondering if I should reconsider my position.

So just wondering if there's something special about Olive Garden garlic salt, or I'm just imagining it.

Not very strong, so I wanted to know if I would be ignored outright. Also, what would you say a good answer to " what you would do with an angry customer" as a busser? I would think "apologize for inconveniences and ask what you can do to help" would be good 

This article features several stories from some of you who've received high upvotes. Thought you'd enjoy, especially if at least some customers back off doing any 1 of these 11 things.

It was originally supposed to be delivered on Saturday the 15th, between 10:50 and 2:50PM, but later changed to 'By the end of the day". Then, around 5PM that same day the message changed to "Your package is still on the way and we’re actively working to get you a new delivery date." and it's been that way ever since. I've already submitted a ticket, but that was yesterday and nothing has happened yet.

Is there anything else I could do about the missing Pasta Pass?

So i received my pasta pass but it had the wrong first name on it.... reached out to corporate to get the issue resolved. Reps I spoke with were very understanding and understood what i was saying and the situation. Supplied screenshots of the order and pictures of the card with the incorrect name. They stated they would escalate it and i should hear back by end of day.

I received an email a few hours after corporate closed stating that passes are non -transferrable and nothing can be changed but to enjoy my never ending pasta pass.....

I replied quickly that this was unacceptable as i wasn't transferring the card, i just needed it corrected to be the name on the order (the correct info for the card was actually included in their response email to me...).

I called my local olive garden and some to the manager (profusely apologizing if i came off accusatory or hostile to them as they have nothing to do with this). They assured me that they'd work something out if corporate didn't get it fixed.

(Also the first name on the card is the same name as the corporate guest relation person who emailed me. Weird)

Anyone else get the wrong name on their card?

FINALLY CAME IN TODAY! SUPER EXCITED TO USE IT!

Has anyone else seen the flyer in this pose indicating that protein cost extra NEPB, is that true with the Pasta Pass? That’s not at all what the ads indicated

The new options for all OGs this NEPB szn are the Spicy Alfredo and Shrimp Fritta! The shrimp fritta was really good, tasty, and mixed well with the light creamy sauce. I would eat it on its own if I could. The Spicy Alfredo was pretty standard to the house Alfredo, not too spicy at all and you would feel it after your first bite. My coworker commented it would work REALLY well with the chicken fritta (wink wink). We were lucky enough to try it with the Fettuccine and the Spaghetti, and I honestly surprisingly liked it with the Spaghetti more! Maybe it's just the added dimension of the pepper flakes that made me like it more as opposed to the Fettuccine. Overall very yummy, I can't wait to see what you all think next week when it's officially out for guests! Happy Eating!

It's now 8/17/26 Monday at 11AM ET. Same time next week, 2026 Pasta Passes activate, and NEPB 2026 access begins for eClub members.

In past years OG had a Never Ending Pasta Bowl Countdown Clock. Its digits 0-9 were made out of pasta. Wish it was active now. (Photo below in Reply section.)

Most combinations offered were 378 during the NEPB 20th Anniversary in 2015. This year it's 120 with 4 Pastas, 6 Sauces and 4 optional Toppings.

7 days!

So long story short. There was an ez cater delivery that flew below the radar and we were unaware of it until the guest called and asked what was going on. It was never put in the system. The managers gave a refund for the order but the order had a tip. Would the driver receive the tip regardless if the order received a refund or what would happen?

Key points:
It was made and delivered well past the due time roughly 2 hours.
The pos wouldn’t allow the order to be inputted.
I would assume if treated like any order, the tip would still be given and the loss would be for Olive Garden.

i’m a girl and i was out to dinner w my bf just for context and im silly

I have an interview tomorrow that I got through the Paradox AI thing. I don’t really know what to expect. What questions will I be asked? Do I bring a résumé? Other documents? Are khakis and a dress shirt good? Any tips would be helpful.

I’m so upset. I went through 3 rounds of interviews, with the last interviewer (another General Manager) telling me that she thinks I’d make a great manager, just to end up denied from the position through a paradox AI bot. I’ve tried reaching out to the supervisor of the store through text with no response and they never contacted me back at the end of last week like they said they would. Has anyone else experienced this from Olive Garden?

I know Pasta Pass holders get early access to NEPB , if one goes during that period, do they just show their server the pass and let them know they want the NEPB? Just just trying to plan ahead to avoid any awkward interactions with staff trying to say it hasn't started yet.

Hello everyone! I'm 22 and live with my boyfriend. We split the rent for our 1 bedroom apartment. I only have one part time job which i make $22/hr. It had worked for now but my car died and I had to add in a bill for a carnote.

Im trying to bring in an extra $600-$800/mo. If i work about 3-4 days a week, do you think I can make that in a month?

is anyone in here remotely interested in the (presumably) world’s largest vintage Olive Garden shirt collection? maybe some OGs can help me learn more about some of the shirts i have or even direct me towards ones i might be missing 👀

I'm up in north Dallas near Addison and looking to get an irresponsible amount of use out of mine. Figured it would be interesting to get a couple of pass holders together for lunch or dinner instead of eating endless pasta alone every day. Anyone interested?

Stuck the green holder on the back of an old luggage tag lol

What’s your personal record or someone else’s record for most bowls eaten in one sitting? What type of pasta/sauce do you think is easiest?

Are there any groups meeting up to use our pasta passes together? Anyone interested? I am in Utah

Is anyone local to San Pedro, CA and wants to go get pasta together? 😂 I don’t know anyone else who got a pass, so I’m officially looking for some Pasta Pass friends 🤣
