What Happened To Olive Garden's Popular Stuffed Shells?
By Matthew Wilson
For a time, Olive Garden's favorite stuffed pasta shells seemed endless, but now, a search for this item online is met with, "We're sorry this promotion isn't currently available."
The giant stuffed shells were added to the menu in 2019 and stuck around for a bit longer until they discontinued the item sometime in 2022.
Meanwhile, the endless stuffed shells promotion by Olive Garden has been around a couple of times, featuring several regular-sized stuffed shells like ravioli and ziti pasta.
However, this promotion was designed to be limited time, and it may give fans comfort to know that restaurants like Olive Garden typically bring back these limited-time events.
While Olive Garden hasn't given an exact reason for the discontinuation, restaurants suspend items for several reasons, such as being too expensive or time-consuming to produce.
Many consumers took time to mourn the passing of their favorite pasta dish, and one TikTok featured a customer's shocked reaction to opening the menu and finding the item missing.
