This page explains how the OlivesGardensMenu Editorial Team researches, writes, checks and updates every Olive Garden menu guide on this website.
Our Standards
- Accuracy first: we publish prices only when we can confirm them from an official ordering page, a printed restaurant menu or a dated receipt.
- No invented data: we never make up prices, calories, ratings, quotes or experts. If information is unavailable, we write “varies” or explain why.
- Plain language: guides are written to answer real questions quickly, with the key answer near the top of every page.
- Independence: no restaurant, brand or advertiser can pay to change our content.
How We Check Menu Prices
- We review typical prices for a sample of U.S. Olive Garden locations in different regions every month.
- We compare each price with our previous record and with reader reports.
- When prices differ between restaurants, we publish the most common price and note that local prices vary.
- We update the page and the visible “last updated” date whenever a confirmed change is found.
Nutrition and Allergy Information
We summarize general dietary guidance, but we always point readers to official nutrition and allergen information because recipes and suppliers can change. Anyone with a food allergy should speak with restaurant staff before ordering.
Sources We Use
Our primary sources are official restaurant ordering pages and menus. For health, food labeling and safety topics we cite government and other non-commercial authorities, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Corrections
If you spot an error, please tell us through our Contact Us page. We review correction requests within a few days and update the article when a mistake is confirmed.
Authorship
Articles are published under the name “Editorial Team” because each guide is researched, written and reviewed by several members of our team rather than a single author.
