At Olive Garden, we want the experience of warmth and caring to extend beyond our restaurant walls and into every community where we live and serve. It’s how we demonstrate our purpose of Hospitaliano!

Investing in our communities is one of the best investments we can make and one with an impact that will last for generations. Olive Garden restaurants in the U.S. and Canada serve their community through a variety of local efforts, such as delivering meals in times of need and sponsoring a range of charity and school events; as well as company-wide programs, such as Olive Garden’s Pasta for Pennies, Pasta Tales, and Labor Day Hospitaliano! Visits.

Hospitaliano! is an extension of the corporate culture cultivated by our parent company, Darden Restaurants. The company has established the Darden Foundation with a mission to maintain a spirit of volunteerism, philanthropy and ethical business practices. These values were inspired by our founder Bill Darden whose vision drives all we do, within and beyond our restaurants.
