Date Night: Indulge In The Tasting Menu At Trentina

For the foodie that makes your heart flip, nothing says “I love you” like a 12-course dinner. Settle in for one memorable meal at James Beard award-winning chef Jonathon Sawyer’s elegantly cozy Trentina with romantic and thoughtful dishes created on a whim by Sawyer and chef de cuisine Korey Aldrich. “You never know what you’re going to get,” says co-owner Amelia Sawyer. “Some days you may get a mushroom risotto and other days you may get a bucatini. That’s really exciting and fun for dates.” Make the night even more special by opting for beverage pairings with each course — a little bubbly or a handcrafted cocktail to help loosen you up. “It’s really easy to talk about food,” says Sawyer. “Even if there’s lulls in the conservation, you’re going to be speaking to your date because the food is so interesting and unique.” 1903 Ford Drive, Cleveland, 216-421-2900, restauranttrentina.com  

Before: When not even a bouquet will do, stroll through the Cleveland Botanical Garden’s Glasshouse filled with fluttering butterflies and delicate orchids. 11030 East Blvd., Cleveland, 216-721-1600, cbgarden.org
