Valentine’s Dinner for Two

Cunard’s Tavern

Reel House 

Enjoy Valentine’s Day on Boston’s waterfront with breathtaking views and a romantic setting to match.  Be on the lookout for special Valentine’s Day additions!  You can check out the full menu here! 

MIDA East Boston

MIDA is a lovely spot to feel the love this Valentine’s Day with gorgeous views and delicious Italian food.  We expect a Valentine’s menu to be launching soon!

Rino’s Place

Rino’s Place is more than just a restaurant; it’s a culinary pilgrimage for those seeking authentic Southern Italian cuisine. While you will likely need to grab a drink at nearby Kelley Square Pub while you wait for a table, Rino’s is well worth it. Despite its diminutive size, Rino’s reputation for exquisite flavors and generous portions draws crowds willing to endure the journey (think house-made wild boar sausage and lobster ravioli the size of your first). Heads up before you go, Rino’s place is cash only, so make sure you hit the ATM before you head out!

Galentine’s Dinner

Looking for a vibrant spot to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your gal pals? Look no further than Pazza on Porter! This one’s for the girls… literally.💖🥂 When you make a Galentine’s Day reservation on Friday, February 13th, comment “FORTHEGIRLS” so they know what you’re celebrating. They’ll send a fresh pasta on the house to help you balance out all those cocktails.

Last minute Valentine’s Gift Idea

Petrova Chocolates –located at 277 Border Street!  This new chocolate boutique was established back in 2020 as an online shop, but this will be its first brick-and-mortar location right here in Eastie. According to Petrova’s website, their chocolates are entirely handmade in small batches. The entire process to produce a batch of bonbons takes three days. Each mold is carefully polished and then painted with colored cocoa butter. They look almost too pretty to eat…ALMOST! Make sure to follow Petrova Chocolates on Instagram for the latest!
