After we’ve managed to take a breath from holiday gift giving, the middle of February has rolled around to have us all remember those important someones in our lives.

And while the roses have been trimmed, the chocolates have been purchased and the jewelry is in its box, one of the most memorable part of Valentine’s Day can be the dinner.

Unless you’ve planned to cook for your date, here are a couple of places to celebrate the holiday with a Valentine meal for two.

Taverna

This popular Italian spot that normally serves various pastas and risottos has a special menu this weekend. A jumbo crab cake, heart-shaped ravioli, lamb and lobster are just a few items on the menu. Reservations are highly recommended. Seating start at 6 p.m. The special menu is offered Feb. 11 through 14.
