Italian food is the quintessential cuisine for a romantic date, and Salvatore Italian Restaurant in Walnut Creek might just be the a perfect spot for a meal with your sweetheart.

This family-owned restaurant serves traditional Italian food – leave your diet at the doorstep because the most raved about dishes are full of cheese. Meals start with complimentary bread and a  bruschetta-like tomato sauce for dipping. Regulars rave about the Gnocchi ala Crema; potato dumplings with bell peppers and mushrooms in a gorgonzola cream sauce. Join them on Tuesday for their prix fixe, three course menu for $24 and be sure to order their lasagna – a generous serving of homemade pasta layered with a béchamel sauce. The dining room has a modest yet romantic ambiance, but if the weather permits diners can sit on the charming patio, lit with twinkle lights strung between the brick wall and wrought-iron fence enclosure.
