The Olive Garden restaurant chain has reintroduced its popular Never-Ending Pasta Pass, which offers customers 13 weeks of unlimited pasta for $100. This promotion, which has not been available for six years, went on sale on July 16, 2026, with only 10,000 passes available nationwide. The limited availability has led to significant excitement among pasta enthusiasts, but also frustration, as many fans expressed concerns about the difficulty of securing a pass due to high demand and the potential for automated purchasing systems to dominate the sales. The pass allows holders to enjoy unlimited pasta from August 24 through November 22, 2026, prior to the start of Olive Garden's annual Never-Ending Pasta Bowl promotion on August 31. The decision to revive the Pasta Pass was reportedly influenced by years of customer requests, highlighting the strong connection and enthusiasm that fans have for this offering. However, independent confirmation of the exact sales process and customer experiences remains limited, as many social media users have voiced skepticism about their chances of obtaining a pass amidst the competition. For those unable to secure a pass, Olive Garden will still offer its annual Never-Ending Pasta Bowl promotion, which allows diners to enjoy unlimited pasta, soup, salad, and breadsticks starting at $14.99 during the same period.
