Olive Garden Italian Meatballs (Catering) are priced at $22.29 for a catering order of 10 meatballs, totaling 1,710 calories across the full tray. The meatballs are the same housemade preparation used throughout the restaurant's classic entrée menu — blended with ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Romano cheese, garlic, and Italian herbs — and served in the catering format as a protein add-on for pasta station events or as a standalone appetizer protein course. At 171 calories per meatball and 14 grams of fat per piece, they are a substantial protein portion per serving.
At $22.29 for 10 meatballs, the per-meatball cost is approximately $2.23 — consistent with the individual à la carte pricing for meatballs at the restaurant. The catering format makes them an efficient supplement to the Create Your Own Pasta Station's meatball topping supply, or an alternative to the Grilled Chicken Breasts for events where guests prefer red-sauce-based proteins. As a catering protein option, the meatballs arrive ready to serve and maintain quality well in a chafing dish throughout a catering event.
