Its all about whether you order appetizers, dessert, and alcohol.
For 5-6 people, I'd say anywhere between $120 and $175 should be about right.

I've been to several "Olive Garden" restaurants.
Unlike some other chains, this one is VERY inconsistent!
Some locations are quite good; some are wretched!
The BEST one I've found is in Horseheads, NY.
(Which, unfortunately, is a few hundred miles away from my home,
but we always stop there when we go "upstate".)
One of the worst is nearby my home, in Suffolk County, Long Island. (Some of the ones in Nassau are OK.)
Prices are quite reasonable (in the LOW teens for entrees), and the quantities are quite large (so you can also save some money by having lots of free salad & bread and sharing entrees -- rather than taking home doggie bags).
When an Olive Garden location is competently managed (which varies greatly!), the food is actually quite good! If at all possible, ask the locals about quality before trying an unfamiliar location.

Ehh. Cant really give an answer. We dont know what anyone is going to order! Hehe. Just kidding. Well Olive Garden isnt awfully expensive... but for a family of 5-6, I'd gather around $150-250.

If they are all adults you had better figure $20-$25 a person. Kids can generally eat for around $15. Tip should be close to 15% for a party that big with good service. I say you are looking at close to $200.00

You can spend as little as $8 or as much as $20 per person. Add extra if you want drinks. Add lots extra if you want appetizers or alcohol. 15% is an expected tip.
I think they have the endless pasta and salad now for $9

if everyone gets soda and not booze, and the table splits 2 appetizers, the bill will be around $1=60 with a decent tip

Great place. If you don't have a bar bill $20 per person will give you enough for a generous tip.

Better pony up about $150 unless there's a lot of alcoholic consumption, so add on another $50 for a total including tips.

About $100-$130. You can actually do half orders if your on a tight budget. Split one plate becuase they serve A LOT of food during dinner. So for the light eaters they can split a dish and that will save on the bill. Also you will get stuffed with the salad and breadsticks. They keep those going.
