Olive Garden is the largest Italian-American casual dining chain in the country, and almost every meal there revolves around one thing: unlimited breadsticks and salad or soup included with an entree. That single inclusion is what keeps the effective price per person well below what the menu suggests.
The value plays are well defined. Never Ending Soup, Salad & Breadsticks is the cheapest full meal on the menu, lunch-size portions of the same pastas run several dollars less than dinner, and the Cucina Mia build-your-own pasta lets you eat for under $15 at any hour.
