No outside light finds its way into the house, which creates a dimly romantic setting. Intimate and private, Valentino's Ristorante is a favorite choice for amorous couples looking for a night out. Enjoy traditional Italian cuisine featuring veal, chicken and pasta dishes, served with a Caesar salad prepared at your table. Lasagna is the house specialty, and it is excellent. The chef has no fear of extra cheese (low fat eaters beware), and the sauces are rich and spicy. An extensive wine list and other beverages tempt the palate.

City House is a casual yet hip place visited by foodies from across the city in large numbers. Enjoy your favorite Italian or Southern American meal in the cozy dining area inside or at the beautiful patio outside. This restaurant also offers a wide selection of cocktails, beer, wine, bourbon, and whiskey. The Belly Ham Pizza loaded with mozzarella, parmesan, oregano, and chilies, as well as the Mustard Greens Pizza smeared with cheesy mayo, black pepper, parmesan and chilies are a must-try. The atmosphere here is boisterous and casual, so you know you're in for a fun evening.

Caffe Nonna is a cozy tiny establishment, but never boring. A small bar and half a dozen tables are always packed. Traditional Italian appetizers and salads begin the meal. The calamari is very good. A full menu features sandwiches and gourmet pizzas that have wheat dough piled high with your choice of meat and vegetables. Mix and match different types of pasta with their specialty sauces like pesto cream, white clam or Arrabiata.
