ORLANDO, FLA. — Olive Garden announced the return of its popular Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion with an added caveat: Never Ending Pasta Bowl Pass. Beginning Sept. 8, customers may purchase Pasta Passes on-line to receive unlimited pasta, pasta toppings and Coca-Cola soft drinks from Sept. 22 through Nov. 9.

Only 1,000 of the passes are available for $100 starting at 3 p.m. E.S.T. Without the Pasta Pass, the Never Ending Pasta Bowl starts at $9.99.

“Never Ending Pasta Bowl is our most popular promotion all year — in fact, we served more than 13 million bowls of pasta during last year’s promotion,” said Jay Spenchian, executive vice-president of marketing. “We’re excited to celebrate pasta superfans with our limited edition Pasta Pass, which brings even more value and excitement to our guests’ Never Ending Pasta Bowl experiences.”
