"Pasta and wine are a match so compatible they would undoubtedly make it to the altar on Love Is Blind. One of our favorite places to get some is Corks, a tiny spot in the Richmond with a bar and just a few tables. You’ll watch as housemade pasta is cooked to al dente perfection, and sip on something from their mostly Italian wine selection. Whether you’re here on a date or a Wednesday night catch-up with friends, get the amatriciana—it’s packed with a generous helping of guanciale, red onions, and bell peppers for a touch of sweetness.
