Olive Garden Nutrition Menu 2026

Calorie Range by Category

Every official Olive Garden menu category carries a different calorie range in our research, from a 110-calorie cup of Zuppa Toscana up through whole Family-Style and Catering bundles meant to feed a table rather than one person. The table below gives the calorie range for every category on the Olive Garden Nutrition Menu; Catering and Family-Style Meals ranges mix individually-sized items with whole-bundle totals — see the dedicated note below the table.

Catering and Family-Style Meals calorie totals include both individually-plated entrées (served to one person) and whole bundles sized to serve 4–14 people — a Large Family-Style Lasagna Bundle (serves up to 12) runs 13,030 calories as a full pan, not as a single plate. We’re reporting the figures exactly as captured rather than splitting or estimating a per-person number Olive Garden itself doesn’t publish.

Lightest Options

For the lightest picks on the Olive Garden Nutrition Menu, we excluded whole-bundle and family-size items and looked only at individually-served dishes. The lightest real options run from 80 to 220 calories, led by two Kids Meals and a cup of soup.

Several of the lightest items here — the Famous House Salad without croutons and Zuppa Toscana — are also on the Gluten Sensitive menu below, so they work as a lighter pick whether or not gluten is a concern.

Highest-Calorie Items

At the other end of the Olive Garden Nutrition Menu, the richest single-serving entrées — mostly Alfredo-based dishes and the Amazing Alfredos! lineup — run from 1,330 up to 1,980 calories, well above a typical daily calorie target in a single meal.

Every entrée above is Alfredo-based or breaded/fried, which tracks with Olive Garden’s own menu descriptions — tomato-based and grilled dishes consistently ran lighter in our research.

Gluten Sensitive Menu & Calories

Olive Garden’s dedicated Gluten Sensitive menu covers 10 items in our research — entrées made with gluten-sensitive pasta, a steak and a salmon option, and a gluten-sensitive Kids Meal — running 110–810 calories. Olive Garden describes this menu as “gluten sensitive” rather than “gluten-free,” since its kitchens aren’t certified allergen-free environments; see the allergen guidance below for why that distinction matters.

Allergen Guidance

Olive Garden’s official Pickup ordering menu — the source behind every calorie figure on this Olive Garden Nutrition Menu page and throughout our Olive Garden Menu Prices guide — publishes a calorie figure for the large majority of items but does not publish item-level allergen declarations (gluten, dairy, tree nuts, shellfish, etc.) through that same ordering system. We’re not presenting a guessed allergen table here, in keeping with our standing rule to never estimate or invent data we didn’t capture.

For full allergen and dietary information, including gluten, dairy and other common allergens, see Olive Garden’s own official nutrition and allergen page, or ask your local restaurant directly before ordering if you have a food allergy. The Gluten Sensitive menu above is Olive Garden’s own designation for gluten-reduced options, not a certified gluten-free guarantee.
