Olive Garden Italian Restaurant Fan Favorites

Fan favorites are popular menu items that were previously discontinued and brought back due to customer demand. The most recent confirmed example is December 2025, when Olive Garden returned Braised Beef Tortelloni and Ravioli di Portobello after 7 Change.org petitions and thousands of messages from guests (per Newsweek, Southern Living, Parade). Check our specials page for all current promotions.

Per Parade, AllRecipes, and The Takeout's coverage, the December 2025 return of Braised Beef Tortelloni and Ravioli di Portobello is available for a limited time through March 22, 2026. Past Olive Garden limited-time menu returns have varied in length, so confirm the current end date with your local restaurant.

Olive Garden's recent limited-time menu items have generally been available for dine-in, To Go, and delivery (via Uber Direct) while they're on the menu. See our delivery page and To Go page for ordering details. Confirm availability for your preferred order channel before placing an order.

Olive Garden's recent fan-favorite returns came from a combination of Change.org petitions and direct messages to Olive Garden's Guest Relations team reportedly 7 petitions and thousands of customer messages, per Newsweek. You can contact Olive Garden via olivegarden.com customer service or the chain's official social channels.

Olive Garden includes unlimited soup or salad and freshly baked breadsticks with every dine-in entrée the chain's signature Never-Ending First Course. Limited-time fan favorite entrées follow the same standard.

Long-running staples on Olive Garden's menu include the Tour of Italy (a sampler of Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna Classico, and Fettuccine Alfredo), Chicken Alfredo, Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna Classico, Five Cheese Ziti al Forno, and the Soup, Salad & Breadsticks combo. These are permanent menu items rather than limited-time fan favorites.
