Olive Garden's Never Ending Pasta Bowl: Inflation-Proof and Still Delicious

If your wallet’s been feeling the sting of inflation lately, you’re not alone. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the cost of living has surged, with grocery bills climbing around 20% over the past few years, according to the Consumer Price Index. Dining out hasn’t fared any better, with many restaurants hiking menu prices to keep up. In fact, a recent survey by Restaurant365 revealed that 61% of restaurants expect further price increases this year.

But here’s a delicious twist to the story: Olive Garden is defying the inflation trend with the triumphant return of its beloved Never Ending Pasta Bowl, and the best part? The price hasn’t budged an inch.
