A blindfolded dinner
Surprise your partner with a dining experience in the dark. Yes, you got it right. At the entrance of the restaurant you will be blindfolded by the staff and escorted to your table. You will then experience by taste and smell your surprise dinner (choice of meat, fish and vegetarian menu).
A painting in the dark workshop
If your he or she loves to have out-of-the-ordinary experiences, we have one to recommend. Neon Brush has arrived in Rome, a dark painting workshop with traditional and fluorescent colors in a cool environment with music and good wine. At the end of the experience you can take your creation away.
A candlelight concert
To surprise the person of your heart you can organize an evening of music in a place decorated with hundreds of candles. In Rome, in the Ghione Theater and other locations, tribute concerts to great artists (Coldplay, Vasco Rossi, Morricone, Einaudi and many others) are periodically organized . Just choose a date and the music you like best.
A trip to Lake Albano
Lake Castel Gandolfo is worth exploring! You can organize a picnic on the beach (if it is a nice day) or a dinner overlooking the lake. There are also usually stands selling crafts and other items. Romantic restaurants we recommend are.
- the Gardenia for a view to admire;
- the Quintessa for a glamorous dinner;
- the Wunderkammer for an exotic encounter.
A walk in the Aqueducts Park
The Aqueducts Park is part of the Appia Antica Park and is located in the Appio Claudio neighborhood, one of the nicest areas in South Rome. We recommend this park because there are several benches to sit on, a pond with turtles, sometimes even donkeys, and there is a peaceful atmosphere. Also, when you finish your walk, you can stop for an aperitif in the park’s bar.
Have a heart-shaped ice cream
At Lucciano’s, 76 Muratte Street, you can find ice creams of all kinds and among them is the cream and strawberry heart, a strawberry and chantilly flavored ice-pop. Giving the gift of heart-shaped ice cream is not for everyone! And since the gelateria is located downtown, you can continue your date among the sights of the Eternal City. Lucciano’s is open daily until half past midnight.
Dinner in a chocolate factory
If you both love sweets, what could be better than dining in the realm of chocolate? Said, at 135 Tiburtina Street, offers aperitifs for 10 euros; Italian dishes and creative desserts for dinner. There’s no shortage of chocolate–and you can even buy a box of chocolates in the store at the end.
Konnichiwa Sushi & Wine Club
Sushi is said to be an aphrodisiac, so here to make your date more interesting, we offer dinner at Konnichiwa Sushi & Wine Club. This all-you-can-eat sushi, in the Prati area, allows you to embark on a journey of ten thousand kilometers. Each room tells of a different world, from the Tokyo harbor street to the cocktail bar, a journey between art and oriental food.
