Here’s a short list of Boston’s most romantic restaurants, just in time for those of us who need to make a reservation for Valentine’s Day.

 

The list comes courtesy of the fine folks at Open Table, who set it up like this:

Looking for restaurants that are the most romantic in Boston? You’re in the right place. Each month OpenTable analyzes more than 400,000 new diner reviews. We sort the results by category to help you discover new favorites. It’s a great partnership: you reserve, eat, and review. We listen…and deliver the results for all to benefit. Enjoy!

 

I gotta hand it to ’em: that’s a LOT of reviews to sort through. Which means a lot of data. Now, I’m no data scientist, nor am I a research professional, but I’m smart enough to know that the more data you have, the more accurate your results will be. All that to say, this list was well-researched and should be considered well-vetted. And I don’t need a pocket protector to make that claim.

 

Before we dive in, however, a quick Valentine’s Day-related plug. I have a bunch of tickets for you to see Porno For Pyros at MGM Music Hall at Fenway on March 5. Listen weekdays at 3 p.m. all throughout Valentine’s Day week to win. One lucky winner will score the Grand Prize: a pair of tickets to the show AND an autographed Porno For Pyros poster. Which is a big deal, as this is their farewell tour. Get all the details here.

 

Boston’s Most Romantic Restaurants

Now, on to the list. Predictably, a handful of the spots are in the North End. But there are also restaurants in Jamaica Plain, Cambridge, and elsewhere around Boston. Take a look, and make sure you book your reservations sooner as opposed to later if you’re going the Valentine’s Day dinner date route.

  • 1) Piccolo Nido

    Italian, North End.

    Former Boston College Eagle and New England Patriot Doug Flutie is a fan, so you know it’s legit.

  • 2) Supper Club at Capo Restaurant

    Italian, South Boston

    Southie is split these days between old neighborhood heads and newcomers. But the all seem to agree on this one.

  • 3) Ten Tables

    European, Jamaica Plain

    Don’t sleep on J.P. There’s always been a wide variety of dining and drinking options in the neighborhood, and Ten Tables has become a list-topper.

  • No. 9 Park

    European, Beacon Hill

    No. 9 Park is iconic and has received its fair share of accolades over the years. And for good reason: their standard of excellence hasn’t flagged.

  • 5) Euno Ristorante

    Italian, North End

    That’s the beauty of the North End: you can grab a casual slice, a quick cup of Italian coffee, or take your sweetheart out to an upscale dinner for Valentine’s Day.

  • 6) Bacco Boston

    Italian, North End

    Look, when an Italian Wine Ambassador is tweeting about a North End dining establishment, you know it’s the real deal. And you know the wine list will be outstanding.

  • 7) Season To Taste

    American, Cambridge

    Marc Hurwitz of Hidden Boston was the first to report on this new location in Porter Square about a year ago. He’s a great resource for things like this, FYI.

  • 8) Forcella

    Italian, North End

    Can we just appreciate the food pics for a minute here? I’m a sucker for content like this. My mouth is full-on watering.

  • 9) Tia's on the Waterfront

    American, North End

    It feels like Tia’s reputation just grows and grows more and more positive as the years roll on. If your sweetheart appreciates being taken to an “it” spot, this spot is it.

  • 10) Libertine

    Italian, North End

    I’m a sucker for anything on Salem St., because that’s where my aunt and uncle lived when they lived in the North End years ago. So we’ll wrap the list up here.
