A Romantic Italian Dinner Starts with More Than Just a Toast
A true Italian dinner doesn’t start with a toast—it starts with a destination. At Nicoletta, we understand that a romantic Italian dinner is about more than what’s on the plate—it’s about soft lighting, slow conversations, and a perfectly balanced cocktail that seems to whisper in Italian. Because when it comes to creating unforgettable moments, the art lies in the details, and the first detail… is the glass in your hand.
The Aperitivo: The Language of Elegance
In Italy, the aperitivo isn’t just a pre-dinner drink; it’s a social ritual and a statement of style. Inspired by this tradition, Nicoletta presents classic Italian cocktails that set the tone for an evening of romance. From a perfectly balanced Negroni made with Tanqueray Ten, Cinzano Rosso vermouth, and Campari, to the timeless Americano—light and sparkling with soda—every sip is an invitation to travel.
Looking for a toast that combines bitterness and freshness? The Garibaldi, a simple mix of Campari and orange juice, wraps you in the vibrant essence of Rome.
Spritzes That Conquer the Coast
For those who dream of sunsets in Positano, Nicoletta’s spritzes are liquid postcards from an Italian summer. The Aperol Spritz, light and classic, radiates the sophisticated simplicity that defines an anniversary dinner restaurant. Want to take it up a notch? The Torino Spritz with Italicus, prosecco, and a giant olive doesn’t just stand out on the table—it elevates your evening into a statement of distinction.
The Hugo Spritz, with floral notes of St. Germain and prosecco, is perfect for moments that feel weightless. For a citrus twist with attitude, the Limoncello Spritz blends house-made limoncello with premium vodka, basil, and lemon zest: fresh, vibrant, and unforgettable.
Italian Classics with History
At Nicoletta, classic Italian cocktails aren’t just served—they’re inherited. Drinks like the Rosé Sunset with Sainte Marguerite rosé wine, grapefruit juice, and tonic water remind us that sophistication doesn’t need to be loud. It’s an understated elegance with unmistakable presence. Perfect for those seeking an Italian dinner for two where every sip is a tribute to good company.
House Mixology: Creativity with Italian Soul
Our cocktail menu doesn’t just celebrate tradition—it reinvents it. Nicoletta’s signature mixology is a love letter to Italy, interpreted with technique, creativity, and an elevated palate.
The Marena, with gin, limoncello, cucumber, and basil, captures the freshness of the Mediterranean, transforming any night into an escape. The Tiramisu Martini reimagines Italy’s beloved dessert as a silky blend of vodka, Baileys, espresso, and a hint of Amaretto di Saronno—ideal for ending a romantic Italian dinner on a sweet note.
For those who appreciate character, the Della Nonna pays homage to tradition: Scotch whisky, Frangelico, black cherry, and a touch of coffee cookie. A cocktail with soul—classic in heart, modern in style.
Cocktails That Set the Atmosphere
A high-end Italian restaurant isn’t defined only by its cuisine but by the atmosphere it creates. At Nicoletta, we know an anniversary dinner should feel like a European film: intimate, refined, and perfectly orchestrated. Our cocktails don’t just complement—they lead.
Each drink is designed to harmonize with the conversation, the environment, and the occasion. They know when to stay in the background and when to take center stage. They are pauses well placed, like an aria in an Italian opera.
