ITALIAN ROMANTIC DINNER MENU

Thinking about a romantic dinner and have no idea what to prepare? Don’t think twice, I’m here to help!

Organising a romantic dinner is much easier than it seems. It doesn’t have to be for a specific reason, be spontaneous, put on some Italian music and surprise your partner when they least expect it.

My romantic dinner menu

I created a very simple menu that will take you to Italy bite by bite. It consists of three courses: an appetizer, a main course and a dessert. You can combine any course with your favourite white wine and amaze your guest with the flavours.

ANTIPASTO

Perfect to start a candlelight dinner: Fried Calamari, with their crispiness and delicate flavour, are a real showstopper. The best way to taste them is freshly prepared and with a dipping sauce or a simple squeeze of lemon.

Before you move on to the main course, you can also serve oysters. You don’t need a recipe for this, just wash them thoroughly and add a squeeze of lemon. The key is to be good at choosing high quality oysters, because naturally, you want to serve only the best to the person you love.

IT’S TIME FOR PASTA – MAIN COURSE

Refined enough and easy to prepare, Linguine alle Vongole is truly a perfect dish for your romantic dinner.
This will transport your taste buds straight to the Mediterranean coast. I would even go so far as to say that it is my absolute favorite pasta dish in the world.

A SWEET FINALE

To finish your dinner in the best possible way, you must try my Strawberry Panna Cotta, which you can actually garnish as you like, even with chocolate it would be excellent. To make it even more romantic, you  and your guest could share the panna cotta from the same glass to make this wonderful dessert even sweeter!
