It’s that time of the year again where we do something a little extra to show those closest to us how much we love them, and nothing says romance like an authentic Italian dinner at Bencotto. Located in the heart of Little Italy, Bencotto is known for their handmade pasta and excellent Italian pairings. In addition to a special Valentine’s Day a la carte only menu on Friday, February 14, they will be celebrating all week by offering a Valentine’s Day three-course prix fix menu, on February 12, 13, 15 and 16 for $45 a person. Guests will choose from options like their Gnocchi di Brasato (homemade large potato dumplings filled with braised beef in a parmesan cream sauce with poppy seeds) and their Lasagna al Tartufo (cream of white truffle, besciamella sauce, parmiggiano, shiitake mushrooms). Pair dinner with the Amore Amaro, featuring rye, amaros nonino & averna, and branca menta. Visit www.lovebencotto.com or call (619) 450-4786 to make a reservation.
