Thanksgiving is almost here and while most people think about turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pie for the holiday, it doesn’t have to be that way. You can eat whatever food you want including Italian food at your local Olive Garden.

Who doesn’t want lasagna, ravioli, fettuccine alfredo, or a chocolate lasagna for Thanksgiving? It may not be traditional, but no one can say it’s not delicious! I know I’d much rather eat all the pasta I can handle rather than another piece of dry turkey. I would be much happier with my food coma.

And if you are really into having a pumpkin dessert, the restaurant is even offering a Pumpkin Cheesecake that is served with caramel sauce and whipped cream. Even if pumpkin pie is your favorite dessert, you have to admit, this sounds pretty amazing.

But is Olive Garden actually open on Thanksgiving Day?

Is Olive Garden closed on Thanksgiving Day 2022?

Sadly, Olive Garden isn’t open on Thursday, Nov 24, 2022. It is one of the few days they are closed each year along with Christmas. They will be open on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving but their hours will be reduced so make sure to check your local Oliver Garden before you head out to eat.

The restaurant will be back to their regular business hours on Black Friday so if you’re out shopping for holiday gifts (for yourself or your loved ones), you may want to stop for lunch and get some Chicken Parmigiana and a Tour of Italy so you have enough energy to get you through the rest of your day. Black Friday shopping is not for the weak!
