The pass was last offered in 2019.

"Even years later, guests still ask us about Never-Ending Pasta Pass, which speaks to the lasting enthusiasm and connection our fans have for it," said Jaime Bunker, Olive Garden's vice president of marketing, in a statement. "Bringing it back felt like the right way to recognize the loyalty of so many guests who have kept it top of mind all these years."
