See if a nicer restaurant orders out, bring it home, light some candles… some nice music… It’s a pain in the ass getting a seat at a restaurant on Valentines day. Plus a lot of places only offer limited menus and raise prices. If she doesn’t appreciate the effort, then time to move on. As for me, I’m going with my wife to my cousins house for a nice dinner and drink. Once you get married, you don’t have as much pressure. Then again, my wife does have some nice jewelry… 🙂 ---

allright, after consulting my dad (who asked he good friend who is a chef), a place on delaware and Hertle called Garangelo’s was recomended. I did some research and they fit my budget, so i made reservations there. so, we’ll see how it goes. o yeah, as anyone ever been to this place? ---

Olive Garden, compaired to pretty much any local place is a joke. And good luck getting in there on V-Day, it just won’t happen. +1 for Linguines ---

I think MadTV accurately described Olive Garden some time ago. lol I’m surprised nobody suggested Grapevine. :gotme: Another suggestion (had you not already made reservations) would be to cook up some Bertolli dinner and have a bottle of wine to accompany it. Depending on what wine you get, you have dinner for 2 for about $20. :tup: ($10 if you get super cheap wine…lol) ---

There’s this place called Marinacio’s on Main Street in Willysville When heading toward transit, it’s on your right hand side, maybe a block or two past quizno’s / that northern pizza place or whatever. Great place, a little bit pricier than everything else, but the ambiance is great and so is the food. Ask for a waiter named Dave, tell him Howie sent ya. He’ll shit in your food. i mean… hook you up a bit. ---

Just my suggestion but if you are looking for good, cheap and italian, try LaCastelana in Depew. Its right across from Depew high school on transit. The entree’s average about $10 and you can even get a descent bottle of wine for around $16-18. The food is awesome but it is first come first served so try to go early.
