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.
Pick your menu
Choose a meal combination package, or build your own from à la carte trays, salad, breadsticks, and dessert.
Confirm headcount
Most packages are priced per person and sized for specific guest-count ranges — get a firm number before ordering.
Choose delivery or pickup
Delivery is available in most markets with setup included; pickup works for smaller, more flexible orders.
Order with lead time
24 hours is standard for most orders; large events (50+ guests) or holidays need more — the earlier the better.
The real pricing structure
Olive Garden catering prices, per person
This is how Olive Garden’s own catering program is actually structured — per-

What's included, delivery, and lead time
What comes with every order
How far ahead to order
Dietary needs
Gluten-free and vegetarian catering options
Gluten-free pasta
can typically be requested as a swap for group orders — ask when booking so it's accounted for in the headcount.
Vegetarian trays
like Five Cheese Ziti al Forno and the house salad work for mixed groups without special ordering.
Allergen cross-contact is possible
in a shared kitchen even with substitutions — flag any serious allergies directly with your local restaurant, not just in an online order note.
Who this works for
Catering for every kind of event
Office lunches
Individually boxed options and trays that hold well through a midday meeting, with next-day delivery windows.
Weddings & showers

Birthday parties
Mix entrée trays with kid-friendly picks like Chicken Fingers for mixed-age groups.
School functions
Budget-friendly combo packages sized for classroom counts or multi-class events.
Holiday gatherings
Book earliest for these — lead times matter most around major holidays.
Team & sports events
