Olive Garden Family Meals: Bundles, Prices and What’s Included
Feeding a whole family on a busy weeknight gets easier when someone else cooks. Olive Garden family meals do exactly that. You get a big pan of pasta, salad and breadsticks, packed to go and ready for the table.
Olive Garden sells a few kinds of family meal: Family Bundles, family-size pans and larger catering options. Each comes with different items and serving sizes. This guide covers what each option includes, how many people it feeds, how to check prices and how to order the right amount.

Does Olive Garden Have Family Meals?
Yes. Olive Garden sells family-style meals in the Family-Style Meals section of its To Go menu. You can order them for pick-up or delivery only, so you can’t eat a Family Bundle inside the restaurant.
You can choose from two main formats:
- Family Bundles: a complete meal with an entrée, salad and breadsticks.
- Family-size pans: just the entrée, so you build your own meal.
For bigger events, Olive Garden also offers catering. Our Olive Garden catering menu guide covers it.
Family Bundles vs. Family-Size Pans
This difference affects both price and how much food you get.
Family Bundles
A Family Bundle puts everything in one order. Each bundle comes with:
- A pan of the entrée you choose
- Olive Garden’s Famous House Salad
- A dozen breadsticks
You get a full dinner in one click. Pick a bundle when you want a classic Olive Garden meal at home without choosing every piece.
Family-Size Pans
A family-size pan holds just the main dish and serves 4 to 6. Pans give you more variety, since the pan lineup includes pastas and entrées that bundles don’t offer. Add salad, soup or breadsticks yourself if you want them. See the full pan lineup in our Olive Garden catering menu guide.
Choose pans when you already have sides at home, want two different entrées or need to please mixed tastes.
Tip: Ordering for 8 to 10 people? Two different bundles, or one bundle plus one pan, covers more tastes than two of the same dish.
Olive Garden Family Bundle Options
Olive Garden lists these Family Bundles. Each standard bundle serves 4 to 6 people.
Family-Style Lasagna Bundle
Lasagna Classico, Famous House Salad and a dozen breadsticks. Olive Garden makes its meat sauce with pan-seared beef and Italian sausage. It’s a crowd-pleaser.
Family-Style Chicken Alfredo Bundle
Sliced grilled chicken over fettuccine in Alfredo sauce, with salad and breadsticks. It’s a safe pick for kids and picky eaters.
Family-Style Chicken Parmigiana Bundle
Chicken Parmigiana with salad and breadsticks. Pick it when your group wants something heartier than pasta alone.

A bigger Lasagna bundle that serves up to 12. Consider it for parties, team dinners or holidays.

How Many People Does an Olive Garden Family Meal Feed?
Olive Garden lists its standard Family Bundles and pans as serving 4 to 6 people, and the Large Lasagna Bundle as serving up to 12. How far a meal stretches depends on who eats:
- Mostly adults with big appetites: plan on about 4 servings per bundle.
- Adults and young kids: expect closer to 6.
- Extra sides: soup, more breadsticks or an appetizer make each pan go further.
When in doubt, round up. Olive Garden pasta reheats well, and leftovers make an easy lunch.
How to Order Olive Garden Family Meals To Go
Ordering a family meal works like any other To Go order.
- Pick your restaurant on the Olive Garden website or app to see local prices and availability.
- Open Family-Style Meals and choose a Family Bundle or family-size pan.
- Customize your order and add sides, soup or dessert.
- Choose pick-up or delivery and pick a time.
- Pay online, then pick up at the restaurant or wait for delivery.
Delivery coverage, fees and timing depend on your area. Our Olive Garden delivery guide explains how it works.
Tip: Family meals take longer to prepare than a single entrée, and some locations ask for extra lead time on large bundles. Order ahead for the dinner rush, weekends and holidays.
Add-Ons That Round Out the Meal
- Soup: Olive Garden sells its soups in family sizes. See all four Olive Garden soups.
- Extra breadsticks: a dozen goes fast with a big group.
- Dessert: browse the Olive Garden desserts menu for something to share.
What About the Take Home Entrée Deal?
Participating locations have offered a Take Home deal: buy an entrée and add a chilled classic pasta for later at a low add-on price. Take Home entrées don’t include soup, salad or breadsticks, and prices vary by location. It isn’t a family meal, but it adds an extra dinner cheaply. Ask your restaurant if it’s available.
Allergy note: Family meals contain wheat pasta, breadsticks, cheese and cream sauces, and some dishes contain eggs or shellfish. If anyone in your group has a food allergy, review the Olive Garden allergen menu and our guides to the gluten-free menu and dairy-free options. Tell the restaurant about allergies when you order.
Feeding a Bigger Group
For birthdays, office lunches or holiday gatherings, you have three practical options:
- Order several bundles for a complete meal with variety.
- Choose the Large Family-Style Lasagna Bundle if lasagna suits your crowd.
- Go with catering for larger platters. See our Olive Garden catering menu guide.
