Your A-List: Best Place for a Romantic Dinner
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, you may be at Carmelo’s. The Austin Italian eatery has a “Godfather”-like grasp on this category, taking home its second win in as many years.
Carmelo’s stepped up its margin of victory from last year, taking 33 percent of the votes this year. The intimate Italian restaurant, located in an old warehouse building downtown, puts would-be romantics in the mood with soft lighting, stone walls and live music that permeates the restaurant. And, of course, delicious classic Italian fare.
