Frequently asked questions

Every figure is checked against Olive Garden’s official nutrition PDF. Actual values can still vary slightly since dishes are handcrafted, not machine-portioned — treat totals as a close estimate, not a lab measurement.

We only included items with numbers we could directly verify against the official PDF. Rather than guess at the rest of the menu, unverified items are left out — see our nutrition page for what else is confirmed.

Not yet — this version focuses on calories, which is what most people search for first. Fat, sodium, and protein figures for the same items are available on our full nutrition facts page.
