"Adoro is an Italian spot in Queen Village with the requisite chicken parm that's too big for its plate and oil paintings of the old country on the walls. There may be white tablecloths and daily desserts displayed on a silver platter, but this place is easy to walk into for a casual date night, seven days a week. You'll see couples maneuvering their BYO reds around giant homemade pastas and bowls of garlicky clams in white wine sauce. As long as red sauce is your love language, you’ll be in for a great meal. Figuring out if they're the one is on you." - candis mclean, alison kessler
