Olive Garden is pasta-heavy, so keto eating depends on ordering grilled proteins, seafood, steak, salad without croutons, and non-starchy sides like broccoli or asparagus. The strongest choices are Herb-Grilled Salmon, 6 oz. Sirloin, Chicken Piccata, grilled chicken sides, sautéed shrimp, sausage links, and salads with no croutons. Avoid pasta, ravioli, lasagna, breadsticks, breaded/fried appetizers, potatoes/fries, desserts, and sweet drinks.
