Read the guide →About Olive Garden
Olive Garden opened its first restaurant in Orlando, Florida, on December 13, 1982, originally under General Mills before Darden Restaurants took ownership in 1995 — Darden still owns the brand today, alongside chains like LongHorn Steakhouse and Yard House.
The chain is built around scratch-made Italian-American dishes, family-style portions, and its signature Soup, Salad & Breadsticks combo — the detail most people search for first, which is why we gave it its own dedicated guide. If you’re planning a larger order, our Catering Menu guide covers everything from single trays to full combination packages.
