Dinner for Two: Romantic Dining Options in CNY
Looking for ideas for Valentine’s Day and beyond? We spoke with two people who suggest where you should dine
By Deborah Jeanne Sergeant
… Tina Selig, matchmaker and singles events host for Pre-dating Speed Dating, organizes dating events in the CNY region.
One of her favorite places for romantic dining is Rosalie’s Cucina (www.rosaliescucina.com) in Skaneateles.
“It’s a beautiful restaurant that would be great for Valentine’s Day,” Selig said. “I come from a large Italian family so I love Italian.”
The Tuscan-style restaurant has been featured on national television’s “Dining Around.”
In Fayetteville, try Avicolli’s Coal Fire (www.avicolliscoalfire.com/). Selig likes that the atmosphere “is quaint and it has really good food as well,” she said.
Enjoy coal-fired pizza and other homemade Italian offerings.
Selig also likes Scotch ‘N Sirloin (www.scotchnsirloin.com) in DeWitt for its cozy firepit. The menu accommodates any dining preferences as it includes pasta, fish, chicken, salads, specialty entrees and of course, a wide variety of grassfed steaks.
Lasca’s Restaurant (www.lascas.com) in Auburn also makes Selig’s list.
“I think they have a great menu,” she added.
Upscale items like grilled beef tenderloin with lobster and fried fresh calamari make dining at Lasca’s feel luxurious.
