The 14 Most Romantic Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"This cozy Park Slope institution has hardly changed since it opened in 1998. And why should it? Al Di La, and its rustic Northern Italian menu, is pretty much perfect—like a just-right oversized sweater inherited from a boyfriend (particularly if that same boyfriend is still in your possession, too). It’s easier to get a table here than ever these days, making it an ideal choice for a spur-of-the-moment weeknight dinner when you’re feeling spontaneously mushy, or a highly specific anniversary you’re surprised you even remember, like the first time your cat threw up on his sofa. Curl up on a church pew under mismatched chandeliers, split a bottle of wine, and feed each other bites of malfatti." - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
