Book NowAbout Bar Romantica
Bar Romantica dials up pure mood on Brunswick's stretch of Lygon Street—curved red booths, low lighting, and candlelit tables made for two. Mid-week regulars lock in on the thirty-dollar pizza and wine special. Woodfired crust lands blistered and airy beneath garlic mushrooms, while warm bread cuts into burrata pooling in smoked olive oil. Even the cabbage side holds its own, finished with the dry crunch of almond pangrattato.
- Moody Booth Seating: Private red leather booths, low illumination, and candlelit tables set a relaxed, moody tone for date nights.
- Woodfired Pizza: Pizzas feature blistered woodfired crusts, with toppings like garlic mushroom, pork, and savory salami.
- Mid-Week Wine & Pizza Special: A popular $30 mid-week bundle combines a woodfired pizza with a glass of wine.
- Savory Antipasti & Sides: Plates include burrata with smoked olive oil, warm pane di casa, and charred cabbage finished with almond pangrattato.

Before you head over
How to plan your visit and make the most of Bar Romantica—book your table in advance.
Request a Booth for Intimacy
Diners note that smaller two-person tables can feel closely spaced, so request a cozy red booth seat when reserving to ensure maximum privacy for your evening.
Note the Firm Al Dente Pasta
Multiple guests highlight that pasta dishes like the lamb ragu and tortellini are served strictly firm to the bite; keep this traditional al dente style in mind when placing your order.
Visit Mid-Week for Value
Drop in during Wednesday or Thursday dinners to enjoy the $30 pizza and wine deal while avoiding the peak weekend rush. Reserve your table now for the ultimate date night.
