Not so formal—or pricey—that it puts on the pressure, this Northern Italian trattoria has a delicious menu of small bites, pastas, and entrées served in a dining room plenty cozy to inspire sparks, especially if a bottle of prosecco’s involved. Don’t want the night to end? Linger in the intimate bacaro over house-made limoncello. 25 Magnolia Rd., West Ashley, (843) 571-2321, www.aldilarestaurant.com
