About This Dish

Five Cheese Marinara Dipping Sauce (Catering) at Olive Garden is the catering version of the restaurant's five-cheese blended marinara, priced at $9.49 per catering container and delivering 800 calories across the full portion. Composed of five Italian cheeses melted into the fresh marinara base — mozzarella, ricotta, Romano, Parmesan, and a fifth melting cheese — this sauce is the richest dipping option available through the Olive Garden catering menu. It is served alongside breadstick orders or as a pasta topping at events.

The five-cheese marinara dipping sauce is the most popular upgrade for catering events where standard marinara has been used previously — guests familiar with the Five Cheese Ziti al Forno entrée already know how much more satisfying this sauce is compared to straight marinara. At $9.49, it is the same price as the Marinara and Meat dipping sauce options, making the choice entirely based on flavor preference rather than budget.
