Looking for a new spot to whisk a special someone off to for your next date night? We’ve compiled a few sure bets for romance, fun and good eats for your next date, whether it’s the first date or the 30^th.

Treat your date to upscale and exotic fare at this popular downtown eatery. Whether you want a fun, casual date or a romantic evening, Cleo’s has tables to accommodate both parties and romance, as well as a menu full of classic steakhouse fare with an exotic flare.

Try something a little spicier for your next date. Amma’s features a more homestyle take on Indian cuisine, featuring a Fijian Indian flare. Enjoy a quiet meal and then take home Indian style sweets from their treat counter for dessert.

For a fun and casual date, have some freshly prepared sushi at this community-oriented Japanese eatery. Spiral features a creative sushi menu as well as traditional dinner items like chicken teriyaki. Its low-key, friendly vibe will put first daters at ease and make more seasoned couples comfortable to laugh as loud as they want.

Yes, it is a chain, and no, it may not be the most homestyle Italian food you’ve had, but for a nice Italian dinner date that won’t break the bank, Pasta P gets the job done. Good, solid pasta dishes, seafood and wine are always recipes for a date well done, and this Bayhill Shopping Center location means you don’t have to travel far to satisfy your bruschetta cravings.

• Finish the night with a movie at Century at Tanforan

Dinner and a movie—the classic date. A simple recipe that works in both the best and worst case date scenarios. If the chemistry is off the charts, you get to enjoy a couple hours in a darkened theater together—enough said. If the dinner conversation leaves you itching to find an excuse to head home and turn on Netflix, however, paying $11 to watch a movie is the perfect excuse to avoid more awkward exchanges with that first date.
