Olive Garden Catering Menu 2026

Olive Garden Catering Menu: Entrée Trays

The core of the Olive Garden Catering Menu is built around Entrée Trays that serve 4–6 people — the same pasta, chicken and seafood dishes from the regular dinner menu, in a catering-size tray. In our research, these ran $22.49–$76.99.

Across this part of the Olive Garden Catering Menu, Alfredo-based and seafood trays (Chicken Alfredo, Chicken Tortelloni Alfredo, Shrimp Alfredo) consistently ran at the top of the range, while red-sauce pastas like Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce were the most affordable choice.

Olive Garden Catering Per-Person Cost

Olive Garden doesn’t publish an official per-person price for its Catering Menu trays, so we calculated an estimated range ourselves using each tray’s own stated serving count (not a national average, and not an official Olive Garden figure):

The low end of each range assumes the tray stretches to its maximum stated serving count (6 people); the high end assumes the minimum (4 people). Ordering a Large Combination Package instead brings the per-person cost down further at scale — a Lasagna Classico sized to serve up to 12 works out to roughly $5.17–$5.83 per person at full capacity, based on the same calculation method.

Large Combination Packages & Pasta Station

For bigger groups, the Olive Garden Catering Menu steps up to Combination Packages (serving 8–14), a Create Your Own Pasta Station, and a large size of Homemade Soups — running $31.99–$241.50 in our research.

The Chicken Parmigiana Combination and Lasagna Combination are both flat-priced at the same rate in our research regardless of which of the two you choose, since each bundles two full entrée trays together for a group of 8–14.

Sides, Salads, Dips & Sauces

Breadsticks and the Jumbo House Salad are the two most commonly added sides to an Olive Garden Catering Menu order in our research, and the four Dipping Sauces (Alfredo, Five Cheese Marinara, Marinara and Meat) are sized to serve 8 alongside any entrée tray.

Whole Desserts & Drinks

All four whole desserts on the Olive Garden Catering Menu — Black Tie Mousse Cake, the Limited Time Pumpkin Cookie Butter Cheesecake, Sicilian Cheesecake and Tiramisu — were identically priced in our research, each sized to serve a full table rather than being sold by the slice.
