Olive Garden Is Super-Sizing Its Menu With A Nearly Foot-Long Chicken Parm

Once upon a time, chain restaurants were heckled for their oversized portions. Of late, though, we've seen the trend spread far and wide. Have you SEEN this giant hot chocolate?! Or any of Lauren's giant foods? So rather than shy away from it, Olive Garden is leaning into the bigger-is-better mindset with a Giant Italian Classics menu—gotta give the people what they want.

Chicken parm fans, do you see the beast in the photo above? Starting April 1 (nope, not an April Fools joke, Olive Garden assures), you can order a massive, 11.5-inch-long Giant Chicken Parmigiana. It comes with a slab of crispy chicken covered in marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese and is served with fettuccine alfredo—plus, Olive Garden's unlimited breadsticks and homemade soup or salad. Come hungry, or just prepared to bring home days worth of leftovers.

Also on the menu: a massive 12-ounce meatball served with spaghetti, plus two stuffed shell dishes. You might recall a giant meatball from last year's seasonal menu; Olive Garden temporarily served one of the same size over manicotti.

As for the oversized pastas, there is the Giant Four-Cheese Stuffed Shells, a cheesy pasta entrée topped with homemade marinara, Alfredo and toasted breadcrumbs, or the Giant Stuffed Shells with Shrimp, also covered in Alfredo sauce and served with seasoned tomatoes.

Whichever way you slice it, these portions are massive, and most definitely made for the 'gram. They're only here for a limited time, though, so head to Olive Garden before May 27 if you want to try them.
