Abilene’s Little Italy creates perfect Valentine’s Day atmosphere

February 7, 2011 by Linda Bailey

Love is in the air, and so is the scent of Little Italy’s famous pink sauce – but that’s not all they have to offer for a romantic Valentine’s Day date.

The intimate restaurant lit by candles and Christmas lights is full of romantic booths for two. If proposing, the hostess might even sit you at booth 63 where workers claim a proposal has never been turned down.

Other than the atmosphere, Little Italy serves authentic Italian food guaranteed to tantalize the taste buds. The homemade rigatoni with pink sauce, sautéed mushrooms, broccoli and grilled chicken is just one of many unique and flavorful dishes. All entrees come with complimentary rolls pulled fresh from the oven keep authentic Italian food enthusiasts coming back for more.

And for dessert, customers can select a variety of cheesecakes, or share a classic tiramisu.

For those who prefer to dine alone, Little Italy also provides a warm, relaxing atmosphere with soft, acoustic music in the background perfect for studying. With free WiFi and the ability to buy a bottomless cup of coffee for a mere $1.50, Little Italy quickly becomes a great place to bring a book or homework.
