Olive Garden Never Ending Pasta Bowl Review & $25 Gift Card Giveaway

Olive Garden is our family's favorite Italian restaurant. We're always pleased with their tasty food, friendly environment and premium service.

Olive Garden keeps their customers coming back with special offers and innovative menu options. The "Never Ending Pasta Bowl" promotion is an excellent example. For only $8.95 per person, you can enjoy unlimited servings of pasta in 42 possible varieties, along with your choice of salad or soup (with unlimited refills of course) and unlimited supply of Olive Garden's signature breadsticks. You can top your pasta with meat of your choice (meatball, chicken or Italian sausage) for just $2.95 extra.

I recently invited my husband to try out the Never Ending Pasta Bowl for our lunch date. Like me, he loves to try new things, so he first chose Angel Hair with the new Pizzaiola Meat Sauce and roasted chicken. I had a small share of his order. We both agreed that it was delicious! Hubby was almost full after finishing what was in his plate, but he didn't want to give up the opportunity to try a different combination--Penne with Five Cheese Marinara and Italian Sausage. Our waiter kindly suggested serving his second order in a small bowl. We were so glad to know this option. Next time we went in for Never Ending Pasta Bowl, we asked for a small portion starting from the first combo. I strongly suggest you doing the same if you would like to try more varieties at once.

While hubby was savoring his new pasta creations, I ordered the Lunchtime Paninis with Grilled Steak & Portobello (Other options include Grilled Chicken Caprese & Grilled Chicken Florentine). This limited time offer is only available Monday through Friday from 11 am to 4 pm, with prices starting at $8.95. Each order comes with unlimited servings of your choice of soup and salad (Yes, both!) It had a mouth-watering look and smell, and tasted divine!

The food servings were more than what we could handle for lunch. We had to take half of my panini (Hubby reserved it for dinner) and half of hubby's second order of pasta home. Be prepared for lots of food on your table when you try out Never Ending Pasta Bowl at Olive Garden.

There are over 750 Olive Garden restaurants across the country. There's got to be one near you. The Never Ending Pasta Bowl offer lasts until October 9, 2011. Head over to Olive Garden right now if you don't want to miss this sweet deal!
