Traditional dishes and all -you-can-eat salad, soup and bread sticks are the draw at this upscale-casual Italian restaurant.. In Short
Established in 1982, this chain gained a following for its laid-back atmosphere and generous portions. Patrons settle into comfortable booths and tables in dining rooms with plants, artwork and décor reminiscient of the villas in the Tuscan countryside. Starters include scampi, sausage or pepperoni pizza, and several soup choices, as well as a signature seafood dip (crab, shrimp, cheese and marinara). Entrees include classics like lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo and chicken parmigiana. There are also "Garden Fare" options, which promise 30 percent fewer calories.

Very nice. Great food at a good price but they need some muisc,to much noise in the dining room area.

Our server had to many tables,that hurt our service a little even though she was very good.

Are you crazy. There a too many great restaurants for romance in Detroit to have Olive Garden in the top ten. Their food just isn't that great. Add the fact that this is a "family chain" restaurant and your romance factor is going to go into negative numbers with all the screaming children sitting around you. Go somewhere else!

Romance for bottom dwellers maybe!. I can't believe that the Olive Garden would place in ANY 'best' list. It is to Italian food, what Chi Chi's is to Mexican.......If my husband ever brought me there for romance, I'd have to have his head examined. He knows that the best romantic spot for me is Cariera's Cucina in Dearborn Heights........

Too many calories, too little flavor. I am not a real fan of the Olive Garden, but I don't like big chain restaraunts, the food is OK but not great, and the atmosphere definitly smacks of corporate design. hardly romantic

Pollution Delirium. The only thing that could be attributed to anyone thinking Olive Garden is romantic has been taking in too much of the city's pollution. Good value and Italian American food - yes!

Gotta be kidding!. No way! Romantic? Are you cheap? This place is NOT going to sway a woman...and if it does, you don't want her!

Romantic????. Olive Garden romantic?? Its liud, usually lots of kids--so-so Italian food--Its like a party place--

If your looking to impress or bring romance into your relationship Olive Garden is not the place to go.
