Olive Garden

Plan ahead

Tips

Ask your server not to bring breadsticks.
The Lighter Portions section launched in January 2026. Check it when you look at the menu.
Order something you genuinely want and plan to box half of it.
Soup and salad as a full meal is a completely normal order here. Minestrone is the right soup.

New to GLP-1?

In your first few months, order the minestrone soup and house salad as your full meal. It is a low-risk order and completely normal at Olive Garden. If you want an entree, the salmon.
