Olive Garden Is Bringing Back Its Most Popular Deal for the First Time in 5 Years

This is one of the best restaurant deals you will see this year.

Olive Garden is bringing back one of its most popular and generous deals for the first time in nearly five years: The Buy One, Take One deal is back! From March 24 to May 4, lucky guests can get two iconic dishes for just one low price.

"Buy One, Take One has always been one of our most popular offers," Jaime Bunker, senior vice president of marketing for Olive Garden, tells Eat This, Not That!. "As value continues to be important, we're thrilled to bring it back for our guests, so they can order two meals' worth of their favorite Olive Garden dishes at one low price."

Starting at $14.99, Olive Garden guests can order one of their favorite menu items—served with unlimited breadsticks and soup or salad, of course—and choose a second, cold, entree to heat-at-home later, for free. Can't wait until the 24th? Olive Garden eClub members can enjoy early access of Buy One, Take One for dine-in service starting March 17 to March 23 (sign up for eClub at OliveGarden.com). So what's on the menu? Read on to find out.
