Olive Garden is doubling its offering of Breadstick Sandwiches as well as bringing new twists on an Italian classic. The iconic Olive Garden menu items will transform with new varieties of the legendary Breadstick Sandwiches and brand new Deep Dish Spaghetti Pies. To celebrate, Olive Garden is giving unique and customised opportunities for families to come together around the table.
Last summer, America fell in love with Breadstick Sandwiches when they debuted in restaurants and on food trucks touring the country. Inspired by fans' excitement and passion, Olive Garden is hitting the road again helping guests across the country create summer memories. The Olive Garden Never Ending Family Table will cross the nation to give fans the opportunity to gather together and sample the new menu items.
This first-of-its-kind summer-long celebration kicks off in New York City where the table will grow along the High Line. From there, the two versions of the Never Ending Family Table will continue across the country delighting guests with the new food. One will have a planned route through a new city every week. The second is dedicated to surprising guests and will continuously pop up at summer celebrations, such as birthdays, family reunions and graduation parties.
"Two weeks ago, we asked our Olive Garden fans what they are celebrating this summer and were inspired by the more than 1,000 stories that we have already received," said Jose Duenas, executive vice president of marketing for Olive Garden. "We're excited to surprise and delight our fans while helping them create amazing memories around the table with our Never Ending Family Table tour."
