Best of Metromix Detroit 2012Date Restaurant
Oh, amore. Date night in the D is loaded with options. Of course sliders might be romantic for some but to truly impress your potential lover it's imperative to impress them with ambiance, service, and spectacular courses. Metromix has love for a ton of great date restaurants throughout the metro area, but we had to break up with many of our faves and narrow the short list down to five. Which restaurant do your heart most? If you think we left out a deserving nominee, let us hear about it!
And the winner is…
La Dolce Vita
17546 Woodward
Detroit, MI 48203Romance is in the air at this Italian eatery, which kept its 2011 Best of Metromix title, narrowly edging out the Whitney for its romance factor. It also happens to be one of the most fun hidden treasures in the city. Summertime dinner outside in the garden is inspiring on many romantic levels. And if you have a Saturday-night sleep8over party, the Sunday brunch is something special, too.
