From the never-ending first courses to the scrumptious pasta meals, Olive Garden sets the table with bountiful hospitality. Just like how nonna ensures that no one leaves the table hungry, the popular restaurant brand celebrates the same sentiment. This summer, another serving of pasta-perfection is ready to be enjoyed and it is making a big splash.
Restaurants and food brands have been expanding beyond the table. From fashion to travel inspiration, the favorite flavors that people crave are transformed into a tangible item. It is a way for people to shout to the world how much they love a beverage, a snack, and especially a plate of Olive Garden pasta.
For the summer, Olive Garden is going full noodle with its new offering. For a limited time, the restaurant brand is offering its own version of pool noodles.
According to Jaime Bunker, Senior Vice President of Marketing, “Olive Garden has always been known for going big — big portions, big value, and never-ending first courses. This summer, we’re bringing that same spirit of abundance to the pool. Our pasta-inspired floats are a larger-than-life way to celebrate the dishes our guests love, and just like in our restaurants, every order starts with a first course.”
The special pool noodles come in three shapes: Floatin’ Fettuccine, Takin’ It Easy Tortelloni and Relaxin’ Rigatoni. Each noodle comes with a complimentary first course item, which includes: Breadsticks Bucket Hat, Soup-er Summer Vibes Tote Bag or Lettuce Chill Floating Drink Holder. Guests can choose their preferred first course.
The specialty noodles, with the first course, are $40. They can be purchased starting on June 30 at 2 p.m. ET. Olive Garden eClub members have early access starting on June 26 at 10 a.m. ET. All purchases can be made at Shop.OliveGarden.com.
Give that summer’s heat is the hot topic of conversation across the nation, people are ready to float their cares away with this special offering. The big noodle visual keeps that Olive Garden meal front and center in people’s mind. When a food brand can find creative ways to keep guests engaged away from the table, it is always a win.
Ready to get your noodle on? Olive Garden is ready to float away this summer and it will make everyone hungry to place an order for craveable pasta and get it delivered to your backyard escape.
