There’s no denying that, if given the choice or opportunity (or unlimited eating powers), I would eat through the entire Olive Garden menu in a single sitting. I just can’t help myself. While a lot of my old Italian relatives scorn the Olive Garden for not being 100% authentic Italian food, I don’t care. To me, Olive Garden is 100% delicious and I can’t get enough of it.
So, instead, I turn to copycat Olive Garden Recipes. The only difference between these delicious copycat recipes and the dishes you order at Olive Garden is that you have to actually make them. In terms of flavor and taste, copycat Olive Garden recipes are pretty much identical to what your server would bring you. I’m not kidding.
Don’t believe me? Below are some of my all-time favorite homemade Olive Garden recipes. From recipes for their breadsticks to recipes for some of their most famous meals, you’ll find that you can make all of the Olive Garden dishes you love right in your own kitchen (and pretty easily)!
(Note: I may have gone a little overboard with just how many recipes I’m sharing with you. I just have too many Olive Garden favorites to choose from!)

I use to love their Raspberry Cheesecake and I also like their Eggplant Parmesan…
I love Olive Garden dishes, I would like to know how to make their alfredo sauce recipe. I love all your copy cat recipes I know you put a lot of thought and hard work in all these recipes.
Thank you very much
Hi Norma, Our friends at AllFreeCopycatRecipes just recently cooked up a copycat alfredo sauce recipe in our test kitchen. Here’s the link: http://www.allfreecopycatrecipes.com/Pasta-Dishes/Olive-Gardens-Chicken-Alfredo
Thank you for your kind words!
Olive Garden makes a lot of their recipes available on their website.
I am looking for the recipe for the yellow tortilla that was used in the 60’s for the encherito. It was not a corn tortilla. Thanks
I am definitely bookmarking this page for future reference! I could probably open my own Olive Garden with this. I cannot wait to test these out on my Italian boyfriend and see if he can tell I’m copying Olive Garden (he also looks upon the restaurant with disdain).
Do you create these recipes yourself? I cannot wait to explore more of this site and AllFreeCopyCatRecipes! People are going to be so impressed with my suddenly amazing cooking skills.
I wish olive garden would make the pumpkin cheesecake recipe available
Olive Garden is one of my favorite restaurants, I just had to save this page as soon as I found it! Now, I can try all of these different recipes without having to waste so much money. The Pasta Carbonara and Chicken Marsala are my favorite!
