Lunch vs. Dinner: What’s the Difference?

The main difference between Olive Garden’s lunch and dinner menus is portion size, pricing, and calorie content. Lunch entrées are designed for a smaller midday meal, while dinner selections generally come in larger portions.

For example, a lunch-sized Chicken Parmigiana may have fewer calories and a lower price than the full-size dinner version. Exact prices and nutrition information can vary with menu updates and location, so compare the current lunch and dinner listings before ordering.
