Which two fan-favorite pastas have made a comeback at Olive Garden? Details explored

Olive Garden has revived its Manicotti recipes. The Four Cheese Manicotti and the Three Meat Manicotti are back on their shelves for a limited time. With this exciting re-release, fans can experience these traditional Italian meals until February 16, 2025.

The casual dining Italian restaurant announced the return of the fan-favorite meals on their Instagram account on January 6, 2025, with the caption:
