"Early-in-the-game date jitters get the best of everyone, but if you want a spot that feels easy, try Ostia, the Italian and Mediterranean restaurant in Montrose. Book a table on the airy patio, or even better, in the dreamy greenhouse room, with rustic brick walls, enormous skylights, and enough plants to make you forget that you’re indoors. Share the mortadella paté, split some homemade pastas, and grab a bottle of Lambrusco. If the conversation stalls, you can use the romantic view as built-in small talk." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
