"Pretty much every neighborhood in NYC has a cute, casual Italian restaurant where you can grab dinner for around $40 per person. In Carroll Gardens, that restaurant is Gersi. The long, dark space has enough exposed brick and candlelight to qualify as romantic, and the menu involves red-sauce classics like lasagna and chicken parm, as well as some more seasonal items like grilled asparagus and various vegetable-topped crostini. Focus on the pasta, and don’t ignore the free bread that comes with a bean dip on the side." - neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore, carina finn koeppicus
