"Ask some New Yorkers what the most romantic restaurant in the city is, and at least one of them will say Palma. Most of the seating at this West Village spot is in the enclosed back area, and at night, they dim the lights about as low as they can go and light a candle on every table. One wall is completely covered in greenery and big pink roses, and the vines also cover the glass ceiling. Bring a date and share some Italian dishes. (They’re more like platters.) We like the meatballs, cacio e pepe ravioli, and spaghetti in tomato sauce with a ton of lobster." - Neha Talreja, Kenny Yang, Hannah Albertine
