The Best Date Night Restaurants in Houston
"Looking to keep it low-key on a date? This East Downtown hangout offers diners a place to unwind with drinks, pizza, pasta, and more inventive dishes like the cult-favorite braised butter beans served with charred pickled peppers for a kick, garlic toum, torn croutons, and a generous sprinkle of dill. The menu changes seasonally, with fun renditions like a summer corn pizza with chile cream sauce, smoked mozzarella, and pickled green tomato. Still, diners can always enjoy staples like the fennel sausage pie topped with red peppers or the classic rigatoni Bolognese. If the night goes well, venture out afterward to Tiny Champions’ more refined sister, Nancy’s Hustle, for the iconic Nancy’s Cakes and a pour from its robust wine list." - Brittany Britto Garley, Nadia Gire
