Most Romantic Restaurants in Beverly Hills

Il Cielo

Il Cielo has long been known as one of the most romantic restaurants in Los Angeles, compliments of its candlelit tables and dreamy dining space under the stars.

The restaurant offers two romantic packages, which can be added on to any dining reservation, ranging in price from $20 to $75. Surprise someone special with a half bottle of Piper Heidsieck Champagne and a heart-shaped flourless chocolate cake with a special message of your choice written across the plate in chocolate script. For a more intimate dining space, Il Cielo’s private dining rooms can be customized to fit any occasion. Enjoy authentic Italian dishes like tagliatelle alla bolognese and tortelli di porcini, paired with a glass of fine Italian wine.

La Dolce Vita

The reimagined La Dolce Vita honors the history of this 75-seat restaurant while adding a chic, modern touch. With its reupholstered dark red circular booths, the muted lilac brick walls, and its new burlwood bar, La Dolce Vita sticks to its authentic old-school Italian aesthetic. 

Led by executive chef Nick Russo, the restaurant and menu truly set the stage for a romantic night out, serving dishes such as brancino picatta, classic Caesar salad, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken marsala and more – all with old-school bread service. La Dolce Vita also offers an enticing dessert menu with sweets like almond budino, Italian lemon ice, and other favorites.

Guests can ask for a seat at Frank Sinatra's favorite booth, which the restaurant dedicated to his name in 2012. Then, order a bottle of red Sassicaia which Mr. Sinatra often shared with his wife. For light bites and specialty cocktails, the bar offers dishes, such as big eye tuna tartare, a chilled seafood salad, and mozzarella di buffalo. Bar master Michael Toscano brings a fresh twist to specialty cocktails including espresso martinis and house made limoncello.

For those looking for an intimate dining experience or a quick drink with that special someone, La Dolce Vita’s charming ambiance will create a memorable evening.

Dante Beverly Hills

Set on the top floor of The Maybourne Beverly Hills, Dante Beverly Hills pairs Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with the best views of the Hollywood horizon and beyond, making for a picturesque date night. Blending ‘Big Apple’ spirit with SoCal soul, Dante Beverly Hills is the first West Coast outpost for this beloved New York icon.

Settle into the shifting, pastel-hued interior for freshly shucked oysters, followed by crispy king salmon and a velvety panna cotta. Or soak up the panoramic vistas over pizza bianca on the alfresco terrace, dotted with white marble and verdant foliage. With live music late into the night, Dante Beverly Hills is more than a restaurant – it’s a destination.

Tagine Beverly Hills

Tagine, a Moroccan hideaway in Beverly Hills with jazz music and candlelit tables, brings an enchanting twist to the cuisine’s exotic tastes.

Chef Ben Benameur and his co-owner, Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling, wanted to create a place where the food is made with love and leaves guests feeling warm and satisfied. Together they brought this idea to life by offering a modern take on Moroccan cuisine and mixing in a bit of traditional Moroccan décor.

The menu pays homage to centuries-old Moroccan cooking recipes including a hummus recipe from Chef Benameur’s mother, served with marinated olives and Berbere bread. Tagine is an ideal location for date night as the lighting is low, cushions are plush and with only nine tables filling the room for an intimate dining experience.
