Best Date Night Restaurants in Carlton

Wonderful hearty wholesome food. Definitely would return.

This European + Mediterranean + PNW inspired restaurant is quaint, adorable, cozy and has all the little details down even including their cute bathroom decor. I loved all the different colorful wallpaper throughout. They have different rooms for their seating which makes it more intimate and not as loud. The staff is down-to-earth and very helpful with the menu and narrowing down choices from the wine list to the menu and dessert. I personally loved the cheese small plate (fun to eat), scallop small plate, French onion soup, pork & duck main entrees. The execution of each dish was excellent. The wine selection is fantastic as well. The prices are also very reasonable so you’re able to try several items without breaking the bank. I would highly recommend this spot for any occasion, really, but a nice date night or girls night would be perfect. I can't wait to come back to try more.

Our meals were delicious and the waitress and staff were all helpful and friendly. I would recommend this restaurant and location.

A perfect dinner (seated at counter) at Nostrana. Went on a Thursday - gnocchi night. I usually don’t choose gnocchi, but am now a convert - so pillowy and tender, and the clam sauce I chose was buttery, seasoned greatness. Our server was friendly, warm, and efficient and suggested an alternative wine by the glass that was from next door that was so good we bought a bottle to take home. Consistently amazing, and impressed my husband for date night.

Easy to make the reservation online (though limited open spots) through Open Table. Showed up on time for our Monday 530 pm res for 4 and was greeted with a smile and genuine positive energy. When seated, Brandon, who took great care of us, explained the specials, several of the regular dishes and wine choices. The service was mostly Brandon who was helped by other members of the staff, as well. Noise level was much more muted than usual for an exposed brick decor and lent to the feeling of a cozy dinner. It seemed many of the guests were regulars and gushed over the owners, staff and dishes. We didn't try the desserts as we were stuffed after such wonderful offerings Biggest hits for us were the sunchokes and Bolognese.
