Olive Garden menu prices at a glance
Olive Garden menu prices are set market by market, so one dish can cost a few dollars more in a big-city restaurant than in a suburb. We show the typical price — the median of all 24 restaurants — and the range from the cheapest to the dearest one. These are the dishes people look up most.

What comes with an entrée
The biggest difference between the Olive Garden menu and a fast-food menu is what is included. Dine in and order any entrée, and the server brings unlimited Famous House Salad or a bowl of homemade soup, plus warm garlic breadsticks. That is why a $21.79 plate of Chicken Alfredo is really a three-course meal. On a To Go order the extras are separate: a house salad costs $9.49, a homemade soup $9.49 and an extra order of breadsticks $5.29.
Appetizers menu
The appetizers menu has 8 starters for the table. Fried Mozzarella ($10.29) and Stuffed Ziti Fritta ($10.49) are the cheapest; Calamari costs $13.49 and the Shrimp Fritto Misto is the dearest at $14.49. A dipping sauce for the breadsticks — marinara, Alfredo or five cheese marinara — adds $5.49.
