I was a waiter there long ago and I used to place multiple "refills" before the check would come and pack them up to go depending on the customer. Particularly college kids - I knew money was tight, being one myself at the time, and a bunch of leftovers would change my week quite a bit. That and they paid me like $3.50/hr. Darden restaurant bottom line was the least of my concerns.
Happy eating!

My mother died when a runaway meatball fell off someone's plate and rolled over her.
So preparing the meal at home is less expensive? Wow, what a revelation!
Tipping is an antiquated means to pay wages and we shouldn't have to "make up" for the employers paying less than a living wage? Yes, but that's the system we have in America so adapt or don't go to a full service restaurant.
Excess carbs, fats & sodium are bad for you? No kidding, but it's a restaurant, and unless you're eating like this everyday and never exercising, then one meal isn't going to send you to the hospital. We don't need armchair dieticians to weigh in, no one is being fooled into thinking endless pasta could be healthy.

FYI adding chicken was about $5, but was added to each dish for the one charge. Not sure if you can switch the protein or not

I have not been at an Olive Garden that doesn't allow you to switch choices- They almost always ask- "The same choice you had at the beginning or something different?" with both pasta and sauce options.
Secondly- the first serving is much closer to what you'd normally get for a meal and after that, they come back with much smaller servings in bowls (generally about 1/3rd of your starter plate).
Depending on how busy they are and how much time you want to spend there (and your waiter or waitress), you may only get 2-3 refills in the hour.
In the past, their "tri-colored rotini" was gluten free; however, I didn't see that mentioned in their early waiver on their selection.
I do miss their larger variety of choices they had on this years ago but their sauces are still great. [RIP Alfredo Garlic, RIP Never ending pasta pass, RIP cavatappi noodles].

"I don't want to pay for your wages. Someone else should be forced to pay you at the level I deemed necessary".
