What recommendations would you make for an anniversary dinner in the BR area? Preference is Italian. Thanks

The Little Village, downtown or Airline, both are fine

If it's Italian you want, I would say Nino's. Everyone else will tell you Gino's.

If it doesn't have to Italian, then Masion LaCour is always good. And you can't go wrong with a Ruth's Chris steak.

Gino’s atmosphere is better than Nino’s

Fine if you like your red sauce one notch above Chef Boyardee.

Gino's atmosphere is so overrated, its past the "charming old-school italian" vibe and become a place desperately in need of a renovation. Give me Nino's every time.

I mean this is definitely fair, but Nino’s is a well lit strip mall with no music. It isn’t exactly romantic either.

The only time my wife and I went to Nino’s, I wasn’t very impressed with the food. Everything was severely lacking in salt and the vegetables in my ragu were pretty undercooked. The gnocchi and the salume flatbread were very good though.

I actually think Digulio’s has the best atmosphere and food, even though it’s not as “fancy.” I know that’s not the majority opinion but has been my experience. Digulio’s is the best date night restaurant in town IMO.

I ignored your preference obviously.
You can eat Italian anytime.

Well you aren’t eating in the parking lot so who cares if it’s in a shopping center?

And if you want the Rat Pack playing than you should go to Ruffino’s.

The Gino’s hate is sad to see. Love it. BR institution.

Also, Nino’s is excellent.
