Ok, romantic was your must have and I don't recall if it fit that bill or not, but the best Italian food I've ever had was at Il Terrazzo Carmine. A boss took me there for lunch like ten years ago and assuming it's still as tasty as it was. The entrance was in Post Alley and it was, to me, a hidden gem. Some fancy priest was in there, with the full garb on, and people kept approaching his table like he was a celebrity.
