• Chez Foushee - 2 E. Grace St., Richmond, VA 23219
  Chez Foushee exudes elegance before you enter the front door. The restaurant offers a menu of French-inspired classics, including ratatouille, beef bourgignon, and trout meunière.

• Heritage - 1627 W. Main St., Richmond, VA 23220
  Heritage is definitely a labor of love for owner/chef Joe Sparatta and his wife Emilia, who serves as the restaurant's general manager. With extensive experience in all aspects of the business, Joe and Emilia have found a winning formula combining upscale dishes with warm, low-key service. Fried Virginia oysters, Szechuan-glazed duck breast, and housemade basil gemelli pasta are examples of dishes you'll find on the menu, which changes based on seasonal availability of ingredients. Begin with one of Heritage's cleverly-named cocktails such as High Brow/Low Brow, made with peanut butter fat-washed solera sherry, creme de cassis, and sesame. Heritage is open for dinner Wednesday through Saturday starting at 5 p.m.
  
  
• Stella's - 1012 Lafayette St., Richmond, VA 23221
  The story of Stella's begins in Greece, where the restaurant's namesake learned cooking from family and friends. After moving across the Atlantic with her husband, Stavros Dikos, Stella joined him, working at his iconic Village Cafe. The current restaurant is actually the second iteration of Stella's, returning to a focus on traditional Greek foods. Enjoy a romantic meal for two by sharing spanakopita, fried calamari, and other delicious small plates. Entrees include moussaka, a Greek variation on lasagna, and Stella's famous No. 5 pasta with your choice of sauces. Stella's is open for dinner from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. every day but Sunday.
  
  
• The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing - 4708 E. Old Main St., Richmond, VA 23231
  Seafood plus a waterfront view is a sure-fire recipe for romance. The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing, overlooking the James River, has long been a favorite go-to spot for couples. Start the evening right with a tequila shooter, topped with a fresh oyster from The Boathouse's own private oyster bed. Atlantic salmon, shrimp, and the restaurant's signature crab cakes are equally high-quality. Hours are 4 p.m. - 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. Sunday.
  
  
• Maria's Old Town 21 - 21 W. Old St., Petersburg, VA 23803
  Maria's Old Town 21 is another example of how some of the greatest love stories are forged around food. After emigrating from Italy, Vincenza and Giovanni Crapa nurtured a dream to share their native Sicilian cuisine with the community around Petersburg homes for sale. With the help of another incredible couple, Jim and Melinda, the Crapas opened Maria's Cafe and Italian Restaurant. This success led Vincenza and Giovanni to strike out on their own with Maria's Old Town 21. The menu features a wide selection of traditional antipasti, pizzas, and pasta to satisfy any taste. Maria's is open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. - 10:30 p.m.
