Los Angeles is the most expensive city for Olive Garden in our sample. We checked the Midtown restaurant on Venice Boulevard and the Glendale Galleria one on October 27, 2026; even the cheaper of the two charged $22.99 for Chicken Alfredo and $14.99 for soup, salad and breadsticks, against $21.79 and $13.99 at the typical US restaurant.
Los Angeles shares the top of our price list with Seattle. The difference is fairly even across the food — a dollar or two on each entrée — and larger on drinks; the Family-Style Lasagna Bundle costs $77.99 here against $71.99 typical. The lunch special still helps: soup, salad and breadsticks at lunch costs $9.99.
