Olive Garden recently updated their Calamari with a new recipe and it’s now served with the chain’s new Spicy Ranch.
Initially, Calamari was served with Parmesan peppercorn sauce, but then they began serving it with ranch dipping sauce in 2017.
The new Calamari recipe features tender calamari, lightly breaded and fried, and served with marinara and new spicy ranch sauce for dipping.
Calamari goes for $11.79 at my local Olive Garden, though prices may vary depending on where you live.
The new Calamari recipe is available now at participating Olive Garden locations nationwide.

Yes- the calamari and dips were delicious. Nicely fried- not greasy. Would order again.
Went to Olive Garden yesterday and ordered their Calamari it was the best. It was nice and soft, asked the waitress if she could fine out how they made it. Asked if the calamari was marinated? Was told later that it was marinated but wasn’t given any details as to go about doing this recipe, or what was in the marinade. I would love to get this recipe.
