Il Piatto Restaurant

Il Piatto is a charming Italian spot that lets you live your Lady and the Tramp pasta-eating fantasies without breaking the bank. The food isn’t noteworthy, but this downtown restaurant is a great date night spot to bring someone special to show them how romantic and thoughtful you can be (think string lights, dim lighting, an intimate seating area). Go with the appetizers, like the arancini. The rice balls are perfectly crispy on the outside, warm and delectable on the inside. To finish the night, split an order of the velvety chocolate mousse that strikes just the right balance between bitter and sweet.
