Olive Garden Desserts Menu With Prices and Calories (2026)

You finish the breadsticks, you finish the pasta, and then the server shows up with the dessert menu. Most of us say we’re full. Most of us order something anyway.

Olive Garden’s dessert list is short, which honestly makes the decision easier. There are six regular desserts, one seasonal special that comes and goes, and a free mint with the check. Prices below are typical U.S. prices from October 2026 and calories come from Olive Garden’s own nutrition guide. Your local restaurant might charge a little more or less.

Olive Garden Desserts at a Glance

Every regular dessert falls between $9.79 and $10.79. That’s a tight range, so price won’t really decide it for you. Calories will, because the gap between the lightest and heaviest option is huge: 470 versus 980.

The Desserts, One by One

Tiramisu

Price: $9.99 | Calories: 470

This is the one to get if you want something Italian without paying for it later. It has the fewest calories of the whole list, and it’s the classic coffee-and-cream dessert most people expect to see at an Italian place. Safe pick, and a good one.

Chocolate Lasagna

Price: $10.49 | Calories: 980

The name is a joke, but the dessert is serious. It’s built in layers of fudge cake and chocolate filling, so it’s rich from the first bite. At 980 calories it’s the heaviest thing on the menu, and I’d treat it as a dessert for two or three people, not one.

Black Tie Mousse Cake

Price: $10.79 | Calories: 750

The most expensive dessert here, by a few cents. It’s a mousse cake, so expect it to be smooth and chocolatey rather than dense. It’s also one of the two desserts people mention most when they talk about favorites at Olive Garden.

Strawberry Cream Cake

Price: $10.49 | Calories: 540

If chocolate feels like too much after a plate of Alfredo, this is your exit. It’s a lighter, fruitier cake and the second lowest in calories. Not a showstopper, just an easy one to finish.

Warm Italian Doughnuts

Price: $9.79 | Calories: 810

The cheapest dessert on the menu and the best one for a table. The doughnuts arrive warm with chocolate and raspberry dipping sauces, so everyone can grab one and argue about which sauce wins. Split between four people and the calories stop looking scary.

Sicilian Cheesecake

Price: $9.99 | Calories: 730

A cheesecake with strawberry topping. Nothing fancy, which is exactly why cheesecake fans keep ordering it.

Seasonal and Limited-Time Desserts

Olive Garden rotates in a seasonal dessert now and then. The current nutrition guide lists the Pumpkin Cookie Butter Cheesecake at 620 calories. These specials aren’t served at every location and the price changes from place to place, so ask your server before you set your heart on one.

One small extra: every table gets a free Andes mint with the check. It’s only 25 calories, so you can eat it without guilt.
