These Restaurant Chains Are Offering Discounts For World Pasta Day

In case you won't be joining the "internationally recognized experts" in Istanbul for a meeting of the International Pasta Organisation (This year's topic: "Pasta: The Sustainable, Healthy and Delicious Food"), you can always catch your favorite carb at a discounted price at one of these chain restaurants in the States:

Brio Tuscan Grille is offering 50% off a pasta of your choice with the purchase of an entre of greater or equal value. One small catch: you have to be a reward member to get the deal.

Buca di Beppo offers a free pasta (you can choose baked ziti, fettuccine alfredo or spaghetti marinara) with the purchase of any other pasta dish or entree. There's also a coupon for $10 off $30 or more if you want some other Italian treats to complement the pasta.

Maggiano's Little Italy wants you to try their new stuffed pasta and is offering $5 off the dish.

Olive Garden will give you 20% off any of its classic recipes.
