5 Restaurants in Cincinnati for Valentine’s Day Dinner (That You’ve Probably Never Heard Of!)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Xavier chapter.

There are so many expectations for February 14th and having a fancy, romantic dinner is probably one of them. New to Cincinnati or sick of always going to the same places with your special date? Grab a reservation at one of our five Cincinnati hidden-gems for a unique evening out for Valentine’s Day!

360 Restaurant at 668 West Fifth Street

Reservations: Yes

(859)-491-5300

Just over the river in Kentucky is the “Revolving Restaurant”! Have the gorgeous Cincinnati skyline as your background as you enjoy your food. We suggest trying to snag a reservation close to sunset to see the beautiful colors over the water.

Bella Luna at 4632 Eastern Avenue

Reservations: Yes

(513)-871-5862

With the soft glow of candlelight paired with authentic Italian food, Bella Luna is a winner in our book. For a more intimate and home-y experience, give this place a try.

La Poste Eatery & Wine Room at 3410 Telford Street

Reservations: Yes

(513)-281-3663

Looking for somewhere close to Xavier but still feel like you’re going somewhere special? La Poste Eatery is right by University of Cincinnati’s campus. Plus, if you and your date are looking for something unconventional, try a customized wine tasting instead of dinner!

Nada at 600 Walnut Street

Reservations: Yes

(513)-721-NADA

If you aren’t the couple that likes fancy, stiff meals, try having your own private fiesta at Nada which is conveniently located downtown. Fresh Mexican food with fun twists will ramp of your date night but still keep it fun and stress-free.

The Wildflower Café at 207 E. Main Street

Reservations: Yes

(513)-492-7514

Prefer your food to be local and organic and don’t mind a little bit of driving for a delicious meal? Try The Wildflower Café up in Mason! It may be a bit of a trek (use the quality time in the car for a little bit of bonding), but the delicious food is completely worth it. The farmhouse restaurant adds a rustic feel that is a special touch for a special night!
