Olive Garden catering menu & prices

Family-style pasta, salad, and breadsticks for offices, weddings, and everything
between. Here’s the real per-person pricing structure, how far ahead to order,
and what actually comes with delivery.

Olive Garden catering starts at $12 per person, with combo packages for 8–14 guests running about $13.75 per person and a salad-and-breadsticks bundle around $13.50 per person for groups in multiples of 10 — delivery and setup are included in the price. Orders can be placed online, by phone, or in person, and standard orders need at least 24 hours’ notice, more for large or holiday events. Every order comes with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils.

Getting started

How Olive Garden catering works

The same basic process whether you’re ordering for six people or sixty.

1

Pick your menu

Choose a meal combination package, or build your own from à la carte trays, salad, breadsticks, and dessert.

2

Confirm headcount

Most packages are priced per person and sized for specific guest-count ranges — get a firm number before ordering.

3

Choose delivery or pickup

Delivery is available in most markets with setup included; pickup works for smaller, more flexible orders.

4

Order with lead time

24 hours is standard for most orders; large events (50+ guests) or holidays need more — the earlier the better.
