About This Quiz

Any restaurant that lets you have free rein over breadsticks and salad clearly knows what people like and has really made an effort to be good, wholesome and fulfilling. This is a place that knows how to make you happy. This is Olive Garden. Sure you could get pasta, salad, and breadsticks anywhere, but there's something about Olive Garden that works on a whole different level.  

There's no pressure like at a fine dining place, but there's more effort than at a fast food place. Do you know what it is? It's comfortable. Comfortable and relatable and the kind of place that makes you feel good. In a lot of ways, Olive Garden is like a good relationship. It gives you what you need, surprises you every now and then, and never forgets the little things that anyone could do, but not everyone does.

When you think about it, Olive Garden represents a lot of aspects of romance and attraction. There's a reason so many dates are dinner dates, after all. We're willing to bet that if you tell us what you like from the Olive Garden menu, we can tap right into your love life and figure out the kind of guy you're attracted to. Sound crazy? There's one way to find out. Grab some breadsticks and take the quiz.

Obviously one of the best parts of the Olive Garden menu is the unlimited options. What are you going to eat your fill of?
Unlimited soup
Do they still have that never-ending pasta deal?
Unlimited salad
Unlimited breadsticks
