I bought a pasta pass for $108.88 for 9 weeks of unlimited pasta, soup/salad, and breadsticks while dining in at Olive Garden. This is my story.
The 2019 pasta pass is effective from September 23 to November 24. I aim to use the pasta pass every weeknight for dinner, and twice daily on weekends. This amounts to 81 meals at Olive Garden over 9 weeks. To make the best use of the pass, it’s not the number of visits that I make but rather what I order and how long I stay. Therefore I’ll be tracking that as well.
Week 1 Logs

The Pasta Pass allows a Passholder to enjoy the Never Ending Pasta Bowl® menu at Olive Garden as many times as they wish in-restaurant for 9 weeks. That’s right – unlimited pasta, sauce and toppings, plus all the soup or salad and breadsticks at Olive Garden for 9 weeks! Never Ending Pasta Bowl is offered September 23-November 24, 2019. The Pasta Pass is not available for redemption with ToGo orders, but in-restaurant redemptions are unlimited with the Pass.

Pastas: Fettuccine, Spaghetti, Rigatoni, Angel Hair, Cavatappi, Gluten-Free Rotini, Whole Grain Linguine
Sauces: Creamy Mushroom, Traditional Marinara, Five Cheese Marinara, Traditional Meat Sauce, Alfredo
Toppings: Garden Veggies, Meatballs, Italian Sausage, Crispy Chicken Fritta, Grilled Chicken, Crispy Shrimp Fritta

I will document:

date of visit

location (likely NYC Times Square and NYC Harlem)

order (counts of pasta, soup, salad, and breadsticks)

server name

wait times

service comments

anything else that comes to mind during the challenge

We will discover if service goes down over time after repeated visits, any deterioration in service due to ordering 5 bowls of soup in one meal, etc.
