The North End is a classic spot for romance in Boston. If you search, though, you can find North End romance and pizza joint prices. The atmosphere is small, personal and relaxed, perfect for a casual date. The location allows for romantic strolling, and the prices will leave you enough left over for a cab. If Italian is your choice, but the North End is too clich for you, try Vinny Testa's on Boylston Street.
Prices are average for a chain restaurant and the atmosphere is relaxed romance.
Tapeo on Newbury Street offers great food and decent prices. Sipping Margaritas and taking tequila body shots can be a great way for you and your date to get closer. You can also surf the Web to find a restaurant that fits you and your date's needs. Even if you live in a residence hall with no kitchen, Pasta Anytime is microwavable and cheese and crackers require no cooking. Place a blanket on the floor, with the table settings in the middle.
