"Some of the restaurants on this list have massive dining rooms where dinner can become a party after a couple glasses of wine. Azzurra is the opposite, with its tiny dining room and intimate atmosphere, and that’s a big reason why we love it. Another reason? Dishes like meatballs bathed in bright marinara, thick-cut pork chops with sweet and tangy peppers, and whatever risotto they’re serving that day. If the weather isn’t too hot, try and grab a spot on the olive tree-lined patio. And for a fun date night activity, stop by their sister wine bar next door to pick up a bottle for dinner—you’ll get a waived corkage fee at the main restaurant. " - emmy kasten
